Loved my experience at Sealed With a Spark! I've had my original pieces for years, so I decided to…read morecheck out their new location, and it was beautiful. As someone who lives in SF, Pier 39 was actually such a fun and unexpected adventure. I love jewelry, but I never remember to put it on, so permanent jewelry is perfect for me. This time I got a bracelet engraved with my dog's name and her birthstone, which made it feel even more special. I love having something meaningful that I can wear every day without having to think about it. Definitely recommend whether you're treating yourself or looking for a unique experience around the city.

If you're considering permanent jewelry, Sealed With a Spark is hands-down the only studio you…read moreshould be going to. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels elevated, personal, and genuinely fun. The jewelry is stunning, high-quality, and crafted with incredible attention to detail, and the staff is knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. Every single employee is upbeat, welcoming, and absolutely hilarious - it honestly feels like you're hanging out with your best friends instead of being in a studio. They make permanent jewelry feel celebratory and special, not intimidating. I got my first permanent bracelet in February, and it's still in perfect, mint condition months later. Despite having a diverse lifestyle - sports, lounging, everyday wear, corporate workdays, and even black-tie events - my jewelry still looks brand new. Nothing snags, nothing irritates, and it seamlessly goes with everything. Saying this jewelry is versatile is a massive understatement. I now have SEVEN pieces from Sealed With a Spark: four bracelets, two rings, and one necklace. One bracelet is a matching piece with my mom (pictured during Thanksgiving, which makes it even more special), and another features a custom engraved charm with an ampersand (&) as a meaningful tribute to my dad and brother. The customization options are incredible, and the team is extremely patient and helpful, especially if you're indecisive like me. They made every single visit effortless and enjoyable - yes, all seven of them! Clearly, I'm obsessed - and for good reason. If you're searching for permanent jewelry, custom engraving, meaningful gifts, or a fun experience with lasting quality, look no further. Sealed With a Spark truly sets the standard and is absolutely the best choice you can make.

I was really excited to bring my friend here this year because I came 2 years ago and had an…read moreamazing experience. This time, however, was highly disappointing. Previously, there was holiday decor outside and the inside was decked out. There were photo areas and everything was festive and wonderful. The bartenders were fun and nice and the drinks were exciting and they put on a show when making them. This time? None of that. The decor was bland and looked thrown together. The bartenders seemed miserable. The drinks were good, but there was no flair. I was kind of embarrassed that I brought my friend after raving so much about it. Save your money.

Not shocked this place has very few stars. I would say the only reason why this was fun, was bc I…read morewas with my girls. But everything else about it was meh. I would only recommend doing the Holly Jolly Bar if you are really BIG into Christmas, otherwise, hard pass for me. Try to arrive just a tad bit early bc the lines will get long fast. There was only ONE person working the front (tagging bracelets and passing out drink tickets, which were not actually tickets, but little xmas decor). Thankfully we were one of the first few in line. When we turned around, the line was about 25 people long. When we first looked inside, we felt duped bc there was no xmas décor. I immediately thought, well, that was false advertisement. You actually have to go all the way across the bar, downstairs to a dif room where the Holly Jolly Bar takes place. Cute, but not all that. We were lucky again to get a booth that fit our group of six. We were ready for our drinks, so we go directly to the bar. The bartender we encountered was not nice. I mean can you work just a little bit for your tips? A smile would be nice. We found out shortly after ordering that the FREE drink that comes with the $22 entry fee was only for selective cocktails. Any others, you have to pay for. I had two 'free' drinks and neither were good. They were very CUTE (see photos), but the drinks were so sugary and I barely tasted any alcohol. Overall it was an experience, but would rather not do again. I'm not really THAT into xmas, and even if I was, I think any ol' bar would do.

First off - prices have increased in 2026, which is why I'm giving 3 stars. I don't think the…read moreexperience as a whole is worth the ~$25 entry fee (which includes a $15 cocktail). That being said, I'm a sucker for Halloween and will throw my money at every unique experience in October. The cocktails themselves are fun, photogenic and interactive, but hit and miss with flavor - skewing either too strong or too sweet. We ordered the Monstrosity (waaay too strong whiskey flavor), Divination (sweet), Electric Jolt (fun and interactive but otherwise forgettable flavor) and Monster Mash (margarita-like, my favorite drink of the night). Staff are kind, we came on a Thursday night when it was pretty quiet so bartenders were attentive. When I asked if I could get more banana syrup in my Monstrosity (since all I could taste was whiskey) our server said all the drinks are premixed but he'd check with the bar upstairs to help -- and he came back with the syrup! It didn't really help the drink but was above and beyond in service...! The decor is amazing. This is really what you're here for - I suggest you grab your drink that's included with your ticket, take in the awesome decorations (pose w your drink for IG) and leave. If you're not put off by the price tag, it's definitely a fun experience. While I wasn't crazy about any of the drinks we ordered, I still had fun goofing off in the spooky setting and posing with my partner.

Not worth it...way too crowded...no place to sit...they don't enforce or keep track of the time…read moreslots...super long wait and crowded at the bars...everything including the floors, walls, seats, tables, bar counters and all their menus were sticky because spilled drinks were everywhere and no one was cleaning besides taking old glasses away to make room for people to buy more drinks...also they advertised mocktails and there is no selection of mocktails (when I asked the bartender she told me she can give me a lemonade)...horribly overhyped and disappointing experience...don't fall for it

HEADS UP- this is NOT a restaurant‼there is one chef who sets up a "pop-up" in various locations…read more We were not aware of this at first so we walked to two different locations before finding the right one, which was at Mayes Oyster House on Polk St. Finally came across the correct location on his Instagram story at @arepasenbici. Now we know to also check his website at arepasenbici.com *WAIT TIME- our party of 3 arrived right around 7 pm. We were a bit confused upon arrival since there were no other customers, only a bartender on FaceTime and a DJ jamming out by himself in the corner. We were worried that we went to the wrong place again, but it turns out that majority of the chef's customers just orders ahead online then picks up to-go. After asking the bartender if this was the right place to find arepas, she told us to walk towards the back and meet the chef in the kitchen. Then the chef handed us barcodes to scan and we did not have to wait extremely long for our orders but it also wasn't super fast since he had other orders to take care of. *AMBIANCE- fun, loud, "going-out" type of vibes at this specific location since it is also karaoke night on Wednesdays starting at 7 pm. *QUALITY- great! This was our first time trying our Venezuelan food and definitely won't be our last. Although we have no other arepas to compare it to, we can confidently say that it was prepped with great care and skill. Love how there's also a vegan option, which is the Dom arepa! *CUSTOMER SERVICE- great! The chef is friendly and highly personable, which definitely plays a role in us wanting to support him even more! He even surprised our friend with 2 pastellitos after finding out she didn't order some when both my fiancé and I did, which was very nice and inclusive of him. *RESTROOM- bathroom available inside at this specific location. *OUTDOOR SEATING- available, but no outdoor heaters. *PARKING- no private lot available, best bet would be metered street parking on streets surrounding Polk like Bush St which is free after 6 pm!

A long, long time ago - well, a while back - I was in search of a Sailor Moon + Luna and Tuxedo Mask pop to complete my mini collection. A collection that my heart desired. I already had Sailor Chibi Moon as a surprise gift from my boyfriend and wasn't sure where to go to start my search for Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and Luna. I contacted Jenn/Jfunko at Popping Collectibles and she found it for me within the week and delivered it as I wasn't in any capacity to drive at the time. Well, times have changed, I'm in an apartment (1x1) and my dearest pops were just sitting there. They were collecting dust and not receiving any attention. They were blocking the area where we held our tax documents. Again, I contacted Jenn. My loves need a new home. They deserved a new, loving home where they're not just forgotten on a desk. Still unable to get around and about, Jenn swung by quickly to pick up the pops and promised to find them a wonderful home and that they would be safe and loved. Overall, the transactions were definitely quick and she's very up front and honest about the whole thing. I appreciate the rapid responses as well as the concise, yet thorough, communication.

I had a lot better luck finding songs I liked at other places for sure.
