Stumbled across this place and was immediately drawn in by all the Holly Jolly decor! Was mostly empty, but it was Monday evening on the first night of December. Decided to stop by for a drink before our main event, and tried the Frostbite Fizz. Drink was surprisingly spicy but still fun to try. Would recommend if you like that cool spice minty flavor. Sitting by the fire and chatting with a friend was a wonderful experience. Bartender was very friendly and welcoming, as we were hesitant to come in since we couldn't really tell what place it was and didn't show up on Apple Maps. Overall seems like a fun festive place to go with friends. We went at an off time but I would want to return on a Friday or weekend for a more lively experience. read more

Came by on Christmas Eve, which I believe is their second to last day of opening for the year. One of the better holiday decorated bars. Cute red arch upon entry with a plethora or every imaginable holiday decor inside. Decorations also aren't chaotic. Cute sleigh photo opp area too that you can get in. Menu includes food and drinks but we only got drinks. Some drinks were better than others. Wasn't a fan of the defrosty icee but I did enjoy the grinchmas, fireplace, and snow globe. If you like sours, then you'll enjoy the grinchmas. If you like refreshing tonics, you'll like the snow globe. I did find that the snow globe, while refreshing, was very citrusy. When sipping water afterwards, there was a strong citrus flavor that lingered in my mouth. Fireplace is a must if you want a fire show with flames and cinnamon. Drinks are $17 which I feel is pretty average for holiday pop ups. Staff was friendly and energetic. read more

Such a fun pop up with very fun decor. I liked the vibes (didn't drink that day) and how nice the staff were. It was a very casual place in the Castro and wasn't packed at all at the lunch time although we were pretty much 2 weeks away from Xmas! read more

Was so glad to check out Deck the Halls, it gave me just the festive cheer I was looking for before Christmas! The inside was decorated really well, and they had a lot of seating available when I went with a group of 4 on Thursday night. They had some great holiday drink options that came in cute holiday themed glasses. The bar tenders were also super fun and attentive. They do serve food, but I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken nuggets I ordered. They tasted like McDonalds nuggets and were $15 for only a few pieces. They also didn't sit too well.. Other than that, had a great experience! Would highly recommend if you're looking for a festive bar in the area. read more

This place is terrible. While the drinks are overpriced and mediocre are best, that's almost excusable. It's the abysmal service from pretty much the entire staff that compelled me to leave a negative review. The bartender was argumentative af -- I asked if they had ketel one and he said "we have skyy". I asked if they had any other choices -- his response was "I would have said so if we did". Similar nonsense the next time ordered from him. The table we sat at was sticky and I asked for a napkin -- I didn't even ask for someone to wipe the table down and they threw napkins at me. If you're looking for a festive holiday drink spot skip this place. Plenty of other options in the city. read more

Super cute Christmas pop up bar -- we came here around 8:30 PM on a Friday and there was no wait to get in. All the cocktails are $17 each and I tried the Cranberry Negroni, which had a cute presentation and tasted decent. I would say that this is a typical pop up bar where you're paying for the ambiance with overpriced mid-level cocktails, but they are at least cute and themed. This was one of the nicer ones time since the decorations were cute, it wasn't too crowded, and ordering cocktails didn't take long. read more

Deck The Halls Bar - Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Not the best holiday bar I've been to, but definitely the most expensive one I've been to. Decor was cute, but felt like the space could've used a little more holiday cheer given how big it was. I did like pop-art the wall of all the Christmas characters, haven't seen that anywhere before and thought it was super cool! We came by on a Saturday night and our group of 5 was let in right away. It was nice that it wasn't cramped, usually I feel like holiday bars are overflowing with people, but we were actually able to grab a seat here. We ordered their version of an espresso martini, and I don't think I've ever had an espresso tini that tasted so watered down. On top of that, the drinks were $17 before tax and an extra 4% surcharge, then the suggested tip for two drinks was $8. I love a holiday bar, but I'd rather go somewhere unfestive than spend $46 on two watery drinks. read more

HANDS DOWN THE CUTEST CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY BAR + LOUNGE in San Francisco. We stumbled upon this spot while exploring during SantaCon. It was our absolute favorite out of 4 different places we went to! We absolutely LOVED IT. Out of the 4 bars we visited, Deck the Halls blew them ALL out of the water! Highly recommend. This spot has the absolute BEST and most creative Christmas festive decorations. I love how they had the super cute Santa, Deer, Snowman, + other Christmas inflatable balloons up on the ceiling, sooo cute! All of the holiday decorations are super cute, trendy, cool, and there is a ton of different places to take super cute holiday photo shots. We loved everything about this spot. The music was fun + diverse, the cover was super low like $5(?) the bartenders were attentive and made the drinks super fast. Deck the Halls had the BEST, most creative holiday drinks. I got the Defrosty Icee cocktail, absolutely loved it! It's a frozen vodka margarita with maraschino, citrus, and flavored whip cream on top and a super cute festive snowman cup, loveee it! They also give you your bill in a Christmas card. Whoever designed this place and the drinks deserves a HUGE raise! All the Christmas details are catered to perfection. lol. Additionally I also LOVE how they serve food too! Yay! We went to 4 bar/lounges and Deck the Halls was the ONLY place with food available. Thank you! I ordered the Elf's Empanadas and the Sausage Stuffers rolls they were pretty good. I like the Elf's Empanadas best. HIGHLY recommend! Check out Deck the Halls if you're in San Francisco for Christmas time. read more

Now this is a christmas bar. Super cozy, with lots of different themes in each corner of the bar. It's less busy since it's out of the main downtown area. Well decorated, super friendly staff and folks at the bar. Loved all the inflatables they had too! A whole lot of fun :) read more

The most fun Christmas themed bar in the neighborhood! We loved Shai & Gabriel when we met them at Rendezvous & this is at least the second year that Deck the Halls has been at this location. It was my favorite Deck the Halls location last year too. They are currently in soft opening and the official opening is November 30, 2023. We came for some drinks and I had a boozy hot chocolate, which was yummy. We remembered that last year, they had the Fir on Fire drink & this year, Shai added some fire to Krampus cocktail, as we requested to see the flambé. It's a fun, festive venue with holiday cheer & high party energy, thanks to Shai, Gabe & Michael. Come visit soon as they're only open until Christmas. We're planning on many future visits as we love them! read more

Location changes every year, since it is a pop up experience. That means decor changes too. The pics you see here may be from past years so don't expect the same. That's part of the excitement of going, to see the new designs for the year. This year one of the two locations is 1979 Union Street. It is hosted in a dive bar. Very divey. Table very sticky and dirty. Smelled grimey in there, definitely different from the past year experiences. Decor was fun and all decked out throughout the whole place. Lights and inflatables were very cool. Large space plenty of seating especially if you get there early. Just grab your own table, anywhere you'd like. Photo machine in the back. drinks about $15 at this location (I guess normal for SF) pricey as you would expect. they are $17 at the other location. My whiskey s'mores cocktail with a marshmallow floating on top was nice and strong. The bar staff that night didn't seem too enthusiastic and almost embarrassed to make the Christmas drinks which is probably so out of the ordinary for them. No table service, you order at the bar. I think it's wonderful that there are 2 locations this year, since it gets so crowded. Helps to spread out read more

Dare I say it is not worth it? Unfortunately Deck the halls missed the mark for me. I went with pretty low but expectations and yet I was still let down. First of drinks run about $17. My drink was handed to me in a sticky cup that smelled like wet dog. My boyfriends drink or cup did not stink but it wasn't all that. I did not think the drinks tasted good either. I would have much rather went to a proper bar and gotten a good cocktail. You are really just paying for the lights here. The ambiance here was lacking, yes there was many lights but not many seats and the music was not good enough to dance to yet not reallly good enough to vibe to. I might try out PCH to see if it's any better but I think I'll just stick to a GOOD cocktail and less lights next Christmas read more

Deck The Halls Bar - Both drinks 0/10. One cup smelled like wet dog :( - Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I did a holiday bar run last night and 'Deck the Halls Bar' was on the list. I walk in and immediately I feel like Christmas with Willie Wonka with all the great decor, I do a quick run around the entire bar to explore (I heard they have a secret room), this spot is cute. The bar isn't packed but this SF night has been calm in general, seems like everyone has left town already. I'm with 4 friends and we all order something different. First of all the bartender is drunk off his mind, sloppy, slow as molasses, he hits on the girls in front of us with no luck, drinks are $13 a pop which are cheaper than PCH pop up at $16 and Top of the Mark at $14.50. Hmmm, no one in my group can finish their drinks their so disgusting, all the drinks have a pre-mix to them so no real cocktail making skills involved, our table has a Santa Mug drink which looks like chocolate cocktail and its abandoned, they must of not liked their drink either. All I can think about is how great the drinks are PCH, 'Miracle' pop up and how they made the drinks from scratch and fast or Top of the Mark where they had the 12 drinks of Christmas cocktail program and you received a drink ornament and beautiful views of SF. Again, the decor was amazing and great for a photo o read more

Not the craziness holiday pop up bar, but they do have a variety of decorations and neon pop up signs. We walked in on a random Thursday night and there was limited seating. There's a small handful of holiday cocktails and only a few of the drinks come in festive cups. The drinks are pretty average for taste and price point. We ordered the: *naughty shot turned into a drink (tequila, agave, citrus): kinda tasted like a more bitter Moscow mule *yellow snow (rum, lemon, curaçao): typical slush cocktail Overall, it was a cute enough holiday bar to visit if you're in the area, but there's also a bunch of other options. read more

Came here on a whim with a friend after reading online and seeing tiktoks about the location! The inside is so cute and festive. There are lights everywhere, ornaments, and plenty of photo ops! There are actually two floors to the bar. The bottom floor has huge tables for larger groups. There was a company event going on when I was there and it was the perfect space. Bathrooms area is also very festive! They have fun lights, disco balls, and Christmas trees all around! The bathrooms are also all singles and all all gender! Very clean and festive. The drinks - I got the chocolate milk drink with vodka. It was not the best nor worst! It was quite strong and kinda took away from some of the other flavors. It came in a cute snowman sipy cup when I thought was so fun. However the drink itself is small, it didn't even fill up the whole snowman. My friend got the snow ball drink (gin + wine) and although it was soooooo pretty with the sparkles it has, it was so strong and almost unenjoyable because of that. Again, the drink itself was small only filled maybe a fourth of her glass. The drinks are all $19 which I thought was super pricey for the quality. Overall, I think you pay for the environment here which is so festive and def puts you in the holiday mood, so I'm not disappointed in my visit. They also offer food here but weren't serving the night I came (Thursday night). I would definitely come back here before the holiday season ends and maybe try one of their holiday shots instead! read more

Very cute decorations but the espresso martini was sooo small for the price. The defrosty drink was good but should be listed as frozen - "iced" is a bit unclear since it's basically a slurpee. read more

Really loved this place compared to some other holiday bars.

This was my first time at Deck the Halls, but definitely not my first holiday pop-up bar. Let me say, DTH nailed it! Even before you enter, you can spot dangling silver ornaments in the breezeway from a block away. You're greeted with a gorgeous white winter arch that guides you inside to a spacious, thoughtfully-decorated venue. Tinsel, trees, and decorations galore border every room -- even the Golden Gate Bridge in the back room was sporting some festive attire! I didn't get to try any of the food, but my table tried five different drinks and loved them all. A bit pricey at $17-19 a pop, but to be expected for a seasonal pop-up bar -- and honestly, they were worth the extra few bucks. The bar staff was friendly and offered some great recommendations, and kept their heads level when things got hectic around 9pm. Would definitely recommend a visit for locals and tourists alike! read more

What a cute pop up bar that is full of Christmas spirit and booze! You guessed it. Everything was holiday galore. You can't miss the spot with the huge, blown up snowman outside. Inside, you'll find cute decor and a menu with festive drinks. We got there early and were able to order drinks that came in a snow globe, boot, or Santa cup. As the night went on, they ran out of snow globes and started to serve items in regular cups. They also have a full bar if you weren't interested in what they offered on the menu. The servers came around to us many times for additional drinks. It got super busy though so we just ended up going straight to the bar if we needed something. They also had some decent food, Asian and American. Not bad at all. Unfortunately, it is only open for a certain time period so you'll have to wait til next time if you missed this opportunity. read more

Fun pop up but pricey for what it is. I stopped by the Saturday before Christmas around 8 pm with two other friends, and surprisingly it wasn't too crowded. There was no line to get in. The space is bigger than expected and had a second floor, which was a pleasant surprise. We were able to snag an empty booth upstairs. The Chrismas decor is fun! That's the real draw of this place, more so than the drinks or food I'd say. I loved the 'Sleigh All Day" sign! All of their drinks are Christmas themed. I tried two. The Holiday Stocking ($13) is Cazadores tequila, pomegranate rose, pineapple, and lime. If, based on the ingredients, you think it is a sweet and fruity drink, then you are absolutely correct. I really enjoyed it and liked that it was served little boot glass, but found myself finishing it in a couple sips because there was SO much ice. For my second drink, I went with the Coquito ($14), which is Barardi and coconut nog. This was also pretty good. More so than alcohol, it tasted like a mix between coconut milk and coconut water, but in a good way. Again, it had way too much ice, though, and I finished it much too quickly for my liking. There was also a small back area on the second floor dedicated to Hanukkah (it was white and blue everywhere), with Hanukkah themed drinks. I didn't get any, but I saw some folks walking around carrying Chinese cocktail containers, and apparently that was one of the drinks back there. read more

I saw this all over social media and had to check it out. Deck the Halls Bar is a seasonal pop-up bar right off Polk. The decorations made me feel like I was inside a toy factory. I felt like a kid again! They had a special menu with creative cocktails and some food items. The drinks were on the sweeter, weaker side. My drink was suppose to come in a cute stocking shaped glass but I guess they ran out ): no biggie. It's ok because they also have shots! I went on the last weekend of the season, so it wasn't as crowded. My group was able to snag a booth after 10 minutes of standing around. You can order drinks at the bar or from a table. The crowd was more sophisticated than your average Polk bar regulars. No one was getting wasted, everyone was just chilling and having a great time. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience! read more

Deck The Halls Bar - Festive cocktails - Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Friends and I had planned to go out for the holidays to see the Christmas Takeover Miracle at PCH which was still closed, and Kona Street Market was also closed on a Sunday night. Super sad. My friend found this Christmas-themed bar instead, which did have promising photos on Yelp, so we did give it a try. The address was strange - we were directed to a bar on Broadway, and when we arrived, it felt like were at a strip club bar. But, it was the right place, the Deck the Halls Bar. Perhaps this is a strip club year round? Lol. Who knows. The decorations did not match the pictures, unfortunately. There were definitely some Christmas themed things, such as the living room area with the chimney, carpet, Mr Grinch, puppets, wallpaper. But it was nothing like the pictures. It seemed like they half-assed everything this holiday season...such a bummer. The menu didn't look too exciting honestly. I got the Snow Globe, which seemed like a typical vodka with spritzer. It was just boring drink that was quite strong. It did come in a very cute snow globe glass though, with a Santa on the inside, although it wasn't sealed correctly, and kept leaking. My friend got the same drink, but hers came out with BLUE liquid for her drink, and was way stronger than mine. Their drinks are not consistent, which was weird. My husband got a Hot Toddy, which is a very basic drink that you can't mess up. I did like the Hot Toddy, for what it's worth. I was definitely impressed with their bathroom though, which looked like it was just remodeled or something. It was super clean, which really surprised me, being that the bar looked so gross. The staff didn't bother to check our covid vax cards, and weren't even wearing masks. So weird. Needless to say, we all left after one round. After coming here, it made me miss the Miracle at PCH even MORE than I already did. Our friends and I are planning to go to Kona Street Market to make up for it sometime later this week. Just a sad time. read more

Fun bar with extremely well put-together Christmas decorations. We arrived here on a Saturday at ~8:45pm and it was starting to get packed. I noticed that a long line had formed by ~10pm so I would recommend coming early on the weekends or coming on a weekday. There is definitely a lack of bartenders (given the number of people at the bar) so expect to wait a while to 1. get their attention 2. get your drink. The decorations inside are so pretty so there are a lot of good photo ops :) Be sure to explore both the ground and upper floor! In terms of drinks, I tried the Coquito and Holiday Stockings and both were delicious (and photogenic). The Coquito is more festive and interesting (coconut nog is yummy!) and the holiday stocking tastes more like a regular cocktail. I wanted to get the santa/snowman mug but it looked like that was for the Lil Cocoa drink and I didn't want a hot drink. I recommend checking this place out to have a fun and festive time with friends :) read more

SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!! I was so excited to come bring my friends from out of town here but... First of all, they are breaking the law. Nobody is at the door. It looked like a group of kids were sitting in the couch area. Nobody checked our ID's ever. And no mask mandate (which I don't care about). Very odd bar experience. Most importantly the drinks were all very overpriced and tasted HORRIBLE!!!! Like, these bartenders should be ashamed to have curated this nasty tasting menu. I will say tho, the decor is very cute and 2/3 drinks were cute, details below: Yellow snow: is a pre-made slushee that just taste like sweet and sour and served in a styrofoam cup. Snow globe: very cute! Love the Christmas duckie inside but the drink is nasty af! It wasn't strong, nasty but like the flavor was just..... watery and not good. Didn't even finish half! Old fashioned (forgot the name): was very strong like an old fashioned should be but maybe they used cheap whiskey? Idk it wasn't good either. This one your drink is in an ornament that sits on top of a glass of ice. So you pour the drink yourself. Very cute. read more

Deck The Halls Bar - Old fashioned Snow globe - Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was so excited to go to a holiday themed bar on Christmas Eve! But this place was such a disappointment. First off there was no vaccination check at the door! My friends and I felt so unsafe about the whole situation and debated even staying. There was even someone entering the bar before us who was upset they had to wear a mask. We decided to just have one cute drink, take a few photos and leave. But wow was it even worth it? The photos were cute as they have a pretty neon sign and nice decorations but the drinks were horrible! We had a few of the snow globes which looked adorable with the themed duckies inside, but they tasted super watered down. My friend also had the old fashion and everyone who tried it literally cringed upon sipping it. Given how unsavory we felt and how bad the drinks were, I wouldn't come back even though the decorations were cute. There are probably better holiday themed bars in the city you could hit up that would have safer practices. read more

Deck The Halls Bar - Snow globe! - Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Super fun pop-up Christmas bar in SF! We got there around 15 minutes before opening and a line was forming already so definitely plan ahead. Luckily because we were so early, we got a nice booth to drink and chill at! Tip: it is faster to get drinks at the bar though. The decorations were super cute and SO extravagant. There were giant candy canes, presents, and other xmas sculptures - it made the bar feel like a true Christmas wonderland / Santa's workshop. In terms of the drinks, I really liked the Yellow Snow (hennessy ice blend), the Lil Cocoa (hot cocoa and some type of liquor), and the Reindeer drink (forgot the name but it tastes like a spiked coffee). A little on the pricier end as each drink was $15+ but pretty cool place to check out for a holiday drink! read more

Yo, it was Black Friday, my friend and I were sick of crowds, so we headed over to this Christmas bar I saw on some feed. I forgot if it was 7x7 or funcheap, but either way, we had a great time here. You can't miss this spot, they have this giant snowman up in the front. If you had been drinking lots down Polk, you'll still see it with your blurry vision. I was overwhelmed when I walked in. You know how Alice felt when she fell down the rabbit hole? You know Jack Skellington singing What's This? Yea, that was me. Service was great. We were still trying to figure out what in the world we had stepped into, and we were already guided to a table. We were seated in Candy Cane Lane and I just felt trippy. Multiple servers came by to make sure we had our drinks ordered. What sucks was their candy cane stools. They were not the most stable thing at the bar. Every time I leaned in, I was toppling over. At first I thought I had too much to drink, but I started seeing other tables having the same issue, confirmed it wasn't me! We each had a drink, since we already had like few glasses of bubbles, few glasses of wine. I ordered this Lil Cocoa and my friend had ordered the Tinsel Spritz. She made the right choice, while I got a bit more drunk halfway into the drink. That hot cocoa + mezcal combo got me all warmed up inside, but also got me feeling real tipsy. They had two giant marshmallows in the Santa mug. Super festive. If I came right in without all that bubbles and wine, I'd get it again. read more

I would avoid this bar at all costs to save yourself from embarrassment. Horrible service from bartenders. We stood in front of the bar for about 10-15 minutes attempting to order for my partner and our 2 guests. We requested to place an order multiple times and BOTH of the bartenders refused to take our order. We understand that bartenders could be busy but there is no need to be rude and pick and choose who to serve first. I am unsure if this was due to race or why they profiled and discriminated us. read more

This was an awesome bar to hit up in the city during the holiday! We ordered the "nice" drink, red bitter ball, traveling duckie, and the Scrooge (beer + shot). I liked the "nice" drink because it had pineapple but it was pretty watered down. I would have added an extra shot if I had known. The red bitter ball is basically hard liquor on ice so it's more bang for your buck. I didn't like the traveling duckie because it tasted like a liquid candy candy/mouth wash. And the Scrooge was a nice way to finish everything off. We also ordered the chicken empanadas which were surprisingly tasty. We devoured those in seconds. It does get quite busy and there's not a lot of sitting space but I also don't know when is the right time to really venture here. Overall, I highly recommend visiting just to say you were able to experience it! read more

If you know me, you know I love EVERYTHING Christmas. Needless to say it's my favorite holiday. When my gf told me about this place, I knew I had to check it out and it did not disappoint. After dinner, four of us decided to stop by. It was a weeknight and we walked right in with plenty of seating available and a slap in the face with (yep, you guessed it...) CHRISTMAS! It is beautifully decorated and so festive. It will put a smile on any grinch. The bartenders are so friendly, which is truly what gives this place five stars. They go above and beyond to answer your questions, make you feel at home and whip up your tasty drinks. If you want a lit experience (literally), order the Rudolph's Root Beer Flip. Come for a date night, girl's night out, or just cause! This pop-up is cute, fun and definitely worth a visit. read more

I noticed Deck The Halls Bar when I was walking around the neighborhood, so I made a point to stop by. I was able to stop by twice before they ended their service for the year. Love the decorations and kitschiness of it all. Loved the storyline layout of the menu. The bartenders were all great (shoutout to Cory) and the barbacks were amazing about walking around and clearing glasses. The place got packed very quickly both days I went in. The first time, I just peeked in and got a quick shot but I was fortunate enough to find seating just as someone was leaving their table. Here's what I thought of the drinks I got to try: Naughty - I tried this as a shot and as a cocktail. As a shot, since it wasn't chilled, almost tasted like syrup. As a cocktail, it was more palatable but still not something I felt would get me buzzed. The black color was fun. Jolly Old Fashioned - One of my favorite drinks in terms of decor. It comes in glass with ice, garnishes, and a little ornament filled with the actual cocktail. In terms of taste, it tasted like a cranberry juice cocktail. This was a little stronger out of all of the drinks we had, but definitely juicy. Snowglobe - I got this purely for the fact that it was cute. That's all it was because I really hated this one. It tasted like vodka water. Looks aren't everything! Fireplace - I was about to order the cider until I saw someone make flames just for this one. While it was rather sweet, this one was my favorite cocktail out of them all. I felt that it had a good amount of liquor in it and I really enjoyed the fire flair. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here but I didn't love all of the drinks. My biggest complaint of all was the fact that they did not check vaccination cards, which became concerning as more and more people came in and kept the place crowded. I was vaccinated, but I can't be sure of everyone else! I'd like to visit again next year, though I admit I've had better experiences at other holiday bars. Hopefully, management can make improvements for the next pop-up! read more

None of bartenders wore masks, there was no one asking for id or even vaccination cards! Overall not my favorite Christmas bar experience. The drinks were overpriced and nothing super exciting. You could tell the majority of drinks were just pre-made and super simple. The place was so packed that we never even found a place to sit, we just had to stand and have our drinks while we looked for a better place to go. read more
