Scam Alert – Miracle on 5th Street Bar got caught using their own accounts posting a bunch of fake postive reviews to cover up the real reviews from people they ripped off (people who bought tickets, but couldn’t get in because they’re first come first serve even if you bought tickets)

If you got ripped off by them, do a credit card chargeback! They won’t offer refunds like they told KXAN they would – also report them to Eventbrite.

Daaaaaaaamn
Yeah this place sucks. Tried to go there last year but if you dont buy the express pass theres no chance you’re getting in.
There will still be giant lines to get in cause tons of people have bad taste and are willing to do anything for an IG photo. The drinks are ok. The atmosphere is fine. I swear it just caught on cause it was downtown one of the earlier places to go all-in at Xmas.
I’ll take Nickel City xmas rum drinks over this any day.
So not worth it. You can go to Gibson street for free & basically have the same experience… with staff that is actually nice to you
I’m not too pressed to say this because I typically don’t go during the holidays but all these people could be going to one of the best Christmas bars year round with some of the best bartenders LALAS!! I mean again I’m ok with others going elsewhere but this occurs every year stop giving them the monies folks!
The fact that any of y’all even care enough to WAIT IN LINE for a bar with some Christmas lights up is awfully telling
Lefty’s on East 6th! Larger venue that has free entry and a tonnage of Christmas decorations. They went even bigger than their Halloween setup. Highly recommend over Mulcted on 5th.
This is not exactly a secret. They sell a lot of tickets. Learned my lesson a couple of years ago
Went on a weekday night around 9. No wait and was able to get a seat. Definitely more expensive this year than previous years though.
I was shocked to see some social media influencers were promoting for them the other day
Their food sucks so bad they gave themselves a 4/5
