"Blood in the bucket was slightly stale, lukewarm warm at best, but it was as advertised and it worked in a pinch. I think they hepranized the bucket somehow? So the blood didn’t clot but it it did have a funny aftertaste.
It’s the middle of AZ so beggars can’t be choosers out here."

"Not great for vegan vampires, no accommodations whatsoever! Staff thought it would be appropriate to offer me garlic as a substitute, I almost died!! Somebody needs to retrain these employees asap, I am never coming here again 🤬🤬"
