    I had an incredible time at the Arcane pop-up at Boba Bear today! The level of immersion was next-level—walking in felt like stepping right into the world of Arcane. The decor was on point, with vibrant, detailed touches from the show that brought the universe to life. The interactive elements, including themed drinks and exclusive merch, were super fun and added an extra layer of excitement to the experience. The staff were amazing too—super friendly and passionate about both the show and the event. Overall, if you’re a fan of the show or just looking for something fun to do, I highly recommend checking it out. Great vibes, amazing staff, and an unforgettable immersive experience!

    Second time here, did not disappoint. Bartender Minnie is so skilled making both beautiful and delicious beverages. Brandon is so attentive and kind taking care of every need without even having to be asked. The food is 10/10 for sure. Everything came out piping hot and pretty fast. All our entrees arrived at the same time, impressive for our family of six! We will definitely be back! (PS we traveled all the way from Palm Springs to come back this time and will do it again!)

    We celebrated our 10th year anniversary at Intercrew and it was amazing! They were able to accommodate my last minute request to have a customized menu with “happy anniversary” Written on top Of menu! Upon arrival, the host was friendly and even wished us a happy anniversary, as she sat us down at our table! The ambiance was amazing in there! Lighting wasn’t too bright or too dim! The live performer was great and covered some get r&b tracks, that had me sang a lot to all night. Our waitress was super nice and attentive and even brought us complementary champagne for our anniversary! We had tuna tartar for starter, rib eye steak and pasta for our main! Every dish was super delicious. The steak was huge and soooooo good and cooked perfectly to my likely (medium rare). The pasta was good as well, but the portion can be a little bit more generous! Overall, my experience was phenomenal and I’ve already told numerous of friends to give them a visit! We will defiantly be back for date nights and girls night out!

    Great place with amazing food, service was good but it was a slow night. Felt like I had to keep flagging down someone for service. Service used to be top notch. Food is still good!
