   First time I visit this place. Came for their Holiday pop-up event and had a great time. From the ambiance, the drink/food menu, and the tentative host. Will be coming back.

   Reservation was given to someone else, so after waiting 20 minutes we had to separate our party into adjacent booths. Not ideal, but we made the best of it and had a great night. Great drinks and very fun. It was packed and service was very slow. It was all worth it for the novelty factor, but would not recommend outside of the Christmas pop up

   My sister and I had a lovely time at Here & Now with the Christmas themed decorations and drinks. The drinks were so delicious! And our server Mark was just fantastic. The ambience was great, and the music wasn’t too loud. Where we were seated was just perfect. Near the bar and our table with the comfy chairs were so cozy! We’re definitely going to make this a yearly tradition!

   Went to the Blitzen Bar pop up was a ton of fun. A little chaotic but a lot of fun. Didn’t really eat much but can 100% recommend the Christmas themed shots!

   Charged for drinks that i didn’t order despite telling me that I would not be charged. Hid this by not providing itemized bill at the end of night. Shady AF

   Here & Now aka Blitzen's was festive and well-staffed. I highly recommend and time your reservation to overlap with Drag Queen Bingo which was hilarious. Cheers!

    Just from the moment you walk up it’s super fun! The inside is decked out, it feels like you’re in a hallmark movie. The drinks were so fun, the food was great & the service was awesome. I highly suggest stopping by.

    Love this place. It will now be a tradition to go every Christmas/Hanukkah season. Food (especially the burger, so get your own) was great! The holiday drinks are so fun and creative. We had so much fun doing the shotski! There’s a time limit of the tables so If you want to try lots of things I’d recommend ordering everything you want right away.

    Love the holiday vibe. However, it took us 15 minutes to get inside even tho we had a reservation, another 15minutes to get seated, and another 15 minutes to get our drinks. My husband called one of the drinks Bambi bc it had a dear on it, the waiter corrected him rudely and said it’s blitzen. It was just weird and awkward. The food was ok. We were cold bc our heater wasn’t working. However the decorations were cool.

    The best Christmas pop-up in LA every year! The ambience is cheerful, the staff is awesome, and the beautiful drinks never disappoint. The only reason I wouldn’t rate this place 5 stars is to stop more people from crowding it! Love it here!

    Came here for the Holiday bar in December, made reservations about 2.5 weeks in advance to make sure I got an indoor spot; loved the vibe and definitely felt like Christmas. Definitely try the Ski Shot when you are with a party or 2 or more!

    Blitzen’s Pop Up Bar at Here & Now is a “must-do” experience in LA. They invest in their drinks and the atmosphere with whole hearts! Short-staffed to some degree meant you had to wait for drinks longer than you hoped, but that’s the nature for most bars nowadays. Our server was apologetic and made sure our second round of drinks were quicker. Overall, I’d recommend this experience, and I’d also recommend knowing what you want and ordering it as soon as you can….it just may run out!

    If reservation has a 90 min limit it should be stated when making reservation from the beginning, from the moment we sat down we were rushed and server was extremely rude when asked about the possibility of staying longer. Our bill was almost $300, the personal lecture that followed was unnecessary, we wanted to be jolly, have an experience and get additional drinks but no. In the words of Julia Roberts 'Big mistake, huge! '

    This years experience was a let down. The drinks were not good or cute like years before. It was way too loud and hot in the restaurant. What is point of reservation when you still have to wait 30 min. Food selection was mediocre. $28 for baked Brie?!

    We have been waiting since last December to experience Blitzen's Holiday Pop-up and we were so excited to snag a reservation. The ambiance is perfect. Extremely cozy and inviting, beautifully decorated from floor to ceiling. Love the snow blowing when you open the front door, looks like a scene from a movie. There's a DJ that keeps the holiday hits coming, it's super loud so a little hard to chat but still a great atmosphere, so fun and lively. The cocktails are perfection. So festively served in holiday mugs and/or adorned with the cutest accompaniments. The food is delicious, everything literally tasted home made in the best way. The fresh baked Santa's cookies were amazing. Literally our only complaint was the service was terrible. Our server forgot about us several times. Our appetizers came not only after we were served our entrees, but after we were completely finished with our entrees, like it should have been dessert not apps. We asked the server who brought our food about our apps and she said she would check but never came back. Our original server asked if we were ready for dessert and when we informed him we didn't have our appetizers yet he looked super confused. So clearly there was no real accountability on tables receiving what they order in a timely manner. But no worry, we weren't in a rush. Our cookies took maybe 45 minutes to arrive. In fact they took do long that our server asked if we anted them boxed to go because we were done and paid and just sitting there. So overall a 10/10 experience, slightly marred by the fact that service took nearly two hours for just the two of us to order a normal apps through dessert. Will come back though.

    This is the second time I’ve had a reservation at girl and the goat and I’ve had to wait over 30 minutes to be seated. Definitely defeats the purpose of even making a reservation if we are waiting that long.

    Went during the Christmas and July event. Loved their commitment, they went above and beyond with décor, atmosphere, food and drink. Every single staff member was dressed up, incredibly kind and helpful. They had a Santa there to take photos with people (and their dogs) and made the rounds, chatting with everyone by their tables. The food and drinks were delicious. Parking was the only tricky bit, so get there early. Great night.
