    We found this place on Tik Tok and decided to to try it out. Parking can be challenging. We found a spot 2 blocks away, but it was fine because we found a few new spots we want to try out the next time we're back in the City. Loved the ambiance of this place. So much to look at. Even the bar has dancing lights that randomly comes on. I took a video but couldn't upload it here. The food was okay. Nothing stood out. I liked the Shepard's Pie. My husband had the Fireside Pot Pie. He wouldn't order it again. It wasn't bad but not great. We also had the Witchy Wings. Service was great, very attentive staff. Bathrooms are clean :-)

    Wizards & Wands absolutely nailed the whole magical tavern vibe. The smoky potion-style drink looked straight out of a wizard lab, and those crispy arancini were dangerously good -- crunchy outside, rich and cheesy inside, buried under enough parmesan to make zero apologies. The atmosphere pulls you in immediately with the dark lighting, themed decor, and cocktails that feel more like spells than drinks. One of those spots where you end up taking photos of everything before eating it. Easy 5 stars.

    Came here for a girls' night because we were curious about the wizard theme. If you're into Harry Potter, it might be up your alley, but temper expectations. Aside from themed decor and ceiling projections, there isn't much actual "wizardry." It would be fun if they leaned into it more, like with sorting hat moments, a house quiz, something interactive, but as is, the experience feels pretty minimal. Food was just okay. When you see "Liquid Nitrogen Hot Cheetos" listed as an appetizer, it should be a red flag. Fries: sidewinders dusted with Hot Cheetos seasoning. The Hot Cheeto seasoning wasn't listed on the menu and I wouldn't have ordered them had I known. Fries were okay, but not very crispy, and the seasoning was a miss. Sprout's Summer Salad: caprese-style with heirloom tomatoes, basil, and burrata, fresh and probably the best thing we ordered. Sorcerer's Salad: cabbage, mint, cilantro, avocado. Honestly tasted like a bagged Safeway salad with avocado added. Pretzels: $14 for three, which made them awkward to share. Service was mixed. Our first server (did not catch her name, but she had just moved here from Texas) was warm, welcoming, and great. Midway through, servers switched and the second was noticeably short and curt/ not very welcoming, and the vibe shifted. All cocktails are batched and can't be modified. We waited about 15-20 minutes just for them to be poured, which felt slow considering they're pre-made, and we were unable to make any changes. The ceiling does a dragon display every ~45 minutes, which was fun and honestly the highlight of the "wizard" experience. Overall, I wouldn't go back unless a friend really wanted to. Fun to try once, but there are plenty of better spots in the city for drinks, food, and atmosphere.

    The naughty waffle

    Went to their Sunday Brunch and so enjoyed the Rock in fashion show! It was so entertaining. We Laughed had lots of fun food and was surprised to hear they were having a wedding in the afternoon! The girls were so gracious and professional! The "Naughty Waffles" were so fun

    My friend and I randomly came upon this place on a walk and decided to stop in. The bar is fun, quirky, and unique. It is Harry Potter themed and you can tell by the small details. They have a bar area and a seating/dining area. We only ordered drinks. We both ordered the Love Potions and they were really tasty and refreshing. It was so good we got another round. The bartenders were very funny and nice the whole time we were there. A very casual and relaxed vibe overall.

    This is definitely a cute place to come if you have a group to bring and want a Harry Potter vibe. I ordered a couple drinks which came out really strong and a pot pie recommended by the bartender which wasn't bad. It came out with edible glitter which was really cute, and the puff pastry on top was most enjoyable! I would come back with my Harry Potter obsessed friends for the strong drinks and cute atmosphere!

    Came here with a few girlfriends for a GNO in the city. All of them are into Harry Potter so figured this would be fun to check out! We came earlier in the evening, had a reservation for 4:45 but it was still quiet inside at that time, people could have walked in no problem. By the time we were leaving around 6:30 it def picked up and was busier inside! We each got different cocktails, the Love Potion was a hit. I had the Unicorn Blood because I am sold whenever I see butterfly pea! It was good, and probably the most bang for your buck when it comes to liquid/ice ratio in the drink. We shared tons of appetizers which is a great way to try different items, I really liked the burrata salad with tomato's and the fries were surprisingly good! I'm not too into that type of fry cut, but they were crispy! Overall it's a fun place to check out for drinks!!

    Absolutely dumbfounded--for all the wrong reasons. Ripped off, gaslit, and nearly burned alive!!! Don't come here they're scammers! The establishment nearly went up in flames while we were attempting to finish our drinks, due to extreme incompetence. Someone had installed Christmas lights connected to a household extension cord outside, plugged into a standard home outlet--during peak storm season and one of the heaviest rain weeks we've had. The smell of burning rubber and smoke coming from the ceiling is something I still remember vividly. The female waitress was polite and helpful, but several male staff members made rude and disrespectful comments about me and my friend, including remarks about our drink orders and our knowledge of craft cocktails. The issue began when the first drink I purchased for my friend tasted overly sweet. While that alone would not have been an issue given the use of syrup, problems arose when I ordered a second drink and specifically asked for a double shot. Despite there being no rush or foot traffic, it took the staff approximately 10 minutes to prepare the drink. During that time, they were visibly arguing behind the bar and making comments about us. Before the second drink was completed or brought to us, I explicitly told them to cancel the order because I could already tell there was confusion and that the situation was being mishandled. Despite this, they proceeded to make the drink anyway and charged me for it. Naturally, if a double shot is ordered, one would expect either a stronger drink or a second drink containing alcohol. Instead, we were served a second drink that contained an extra shot of syrup--not alcohol. One active bartender confirmed this was intentional and claimed it was "normal" to receive a second shot of syrup when requesting a double shot. That explanation is both incorrect and insulting. For context, I am a former bar and restaurant owner, and my friend currently manages a sports bar. Despite our professional experience, the bartenders continued to gaslight us, insisting the drink contained additional alcohol when it clearly did not. After we expressed our dissatisfaction, they brought over a tall glass of vodka that we did not ask for. This shot was supposedly offered "for free," yet I was still charged for it. From the start, staff members also made comments questioning the validity of both our IDs and suggesting we looked too young. I strongly suspect they were hesitant to serve us alcohol at all, given that both drinks tasted overwhelmingly like sugar. This has happened to us before due to our appearance, but dismissing our complaints as "uneducated" is unacceptable--especially considering our industry backgrounds. Claiming that a "second shot" means additional syrup instead of alcohol is misleading and unprofessional. The way this situation was handled--from the drinks, to the charges, to the disrespect, and even the unsafe conditions--was unacceptable. Honestly I paid with a 100$ bill and I noticed the receipt now saying 70$ doesn't make sense. Also please watch out for the other reviews they all say the same thing about the free shots offered by staff which end up being charged for.

    If you're a Harry Potter fan, this is the place for you! An absolutely magically decorated tribute to Harry Potter. The drink menu and food menu is also amazingly curated to make you feel like you're at Hogwarts Sean the bartender is amazing and was really great in suggesting things based on your taste unfortunately, I got there an hour before close. However, I would absolutely go back to spend way more time in the magical world of wizards and wands.

    Celebrated my best friend's birthday here and the staff were so warm and accommodating. We did an entire murder mystery game and the ambiance perfectly fit the vibe we were going for. The restaurant was decorated so well for Christmas, with the entire ceiling towards the back projected with stars, dragons and more. What a magical place! Truly feels like you're transported to Hogwarts. We all ordered food and drink, and the Wizard's Beer is just like I thought butterbeer would taste like, like rich butterscotch and caramel. It was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the burger, which came with curly fries and everything was delectable. Our group also ordered the arancini, and the prime rib I believe? Everything was so delicious! Definitely a wonderful place for a birthday! Thank you for being so accommodating to us. We had such a fun time!

    Their version of butter beer was delicious

    As a big Harry Potter fan, had to check it out. This place was cute. The ceiling was lights like the great hall and it had fairies. It also had a dragon that did a pop up. We just stopped by for drinks and their version of them was fun. The server was super nice too.

    The drinks here are absolutely lovely and fun -- definitely the kind of place you bring out-of-town guests to impress them with something unique. Go early if you want to snag a table; it fills up fast. We went at 5:30 on a Friday and there were plenty of tables, and when we left, it was packed. The servers are cool and attentive, and the overall vibe is festive. The music adds to the atmosphere, though it can get a bit loud -- sometimes too loud to easily carry a conversation. It's actually really loud in the bathroom area. We'll definitely be back to try the food next time. Based on the drinks alone, it's worth the visit!

    I'd been hearing about this place for a while and had been wanting to make a trip for their famous Drag Brunch. My partner and I were in San Francisco for Folsom Street Faire and looking for somewhere nearby to eat, and guess what? This spot was just down the street from our hotel, perfect little surprise! Unfortunately, we couldn't make the brunch hours work, but we still wanted to check out the place and see what it was all about. As a pretty big Harry Potter fan, I was excited to see how they brought that magical vibe to life. And they did not disappoint.... the Marauder's Map style menu was such a clever touch, and the enchanted digital ceiling that changed scenes? Loved it. We ordered a couple drinks, mine was the "Love Potion," and my guy had the "Wizard Brew." Honestly, the drinks were the highlight for me. Super cute, tasty, and on theme. The food, on the other hand... meh. We got a pot pie and something else I've already forgotten, so that kind of says it all. Not bad, just not memorable. But let's be real: we didn't go for the food. It was all about the atmosphere. The place has great energy and such a fun, magical vibe. I will be back, and next time it's gonna be for Drag Brunch!! I just know that's where the real magic happens.

    This was ok. The food selection was disappointing and really has not much to do with Harry Potter.

    Is this more of a restaurant vibe or a stop in for a drink vibe?

    Both. They also have drag brunches on the weekends.

    Is this place ok for teens?

    Call ahead. It is a bar, first and foremost so 21+ but they might allow 18-21 before a certain hour.

    How do I make reservations for the drag brunch?

    I was able to reserve through their Google page. Click on "Find a table". Choose "Resy.com" which will take you to their reservation page. Pick a Saturday or Sunday of your choosing and time slot. Should still hopefully work out.… 

    Is there a different menu for Brunch?

    No same menu

    Can under 21 come in the restaurant?

    No 21 over only

    Is this place appropriate for kids (12 and under)?

    It's no drag queen book hour. There is alcohol, cussing, twerking competitions, and some sexually charged dialogue/jokes. It's really fun, hilarious and a great time. But I feel like it's an adult activity. Plus there's some acrobatics done by the… 

    Is this place only for 21 and over or can younger adults come with someone 21+?

    Their IG says 21+ https://www.instagram.com/wizards.wands?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

    Does anyone know where I can make a reservation? Or do they accept walk ins?

    It looks like you can make a reservation on OpenTable for early afternoons on the weekends, but a lot of the tables are reserved for different time slots of their cocktail experience everyday on Bucketlisters. My friends and I were able to walk in…

A great place to go with friends for a casual dinner or to celebrate a special occasion. All four of us had the smash burger -- juicy and full of flavor. I had mine with tasty grilled onions. The two couples split salads, which could have been a main course. The fries are doubled fried, so they are hot and crunchy. The staff was friendly without being obtrusive. They knew their product well. We will definitely be back to try some of Indigo's other dishes.

I would call the food mix of Indian but mostly American food. Everything we tasted was delivered as advertised, elegantly presented, and was delicious. We started out with the hummus and then we got a dish that was very similar to like a chicken satori and their Smashburger. My guest suggested that it was one of the best if not the best Smashburger he has tasted, and he was comparing it to a place that specializes in it down the street. The staff was very attentive and very fun. It's a little things that matter, and they took care of all of them. Service was superb! I'm not really sure how to described ambience but it was definitely more towards dimly lit and romantic. You could see several couple couples, enjoying a date. I saw nothing but smiles from other guests as well. Indigo is a gem that has yet to be found. Although I know there were guests there that had been there several times before. This is a place that is going to become very busy very soon and may be hard to get in, but I suspect that Kash, the owner and his wife will be just as pleasant as they were this evening. I'm super fond of Mom and Popp type places and this is definitely one that you need to try out. You will not be disappointed.
