Theming in here is really great. We loved the tropical drinks. Our waitress did mix up our order and we both ended up with the same drink but they were delicious. This is a fun experience and the outside is totally unassuming.

Very cute tiki bar with friendly staff, good drinks and good food. I think the food was a little overpriced for the portion provided, but I guess you were paying for the ambience . You enter this restaurant through what looks to be a kitchen. We went on a Thursday night around 5:30 PM and it was pretty empty when we arrived, however, when we left, there was a line outside. They had a really good happy hour menu that had both drinks and food, I did not get a photo because it was too dark. If you plan to drive there, do not try to park in their parking lot, all the spaces are privately metered and super expensive. You can either park on some areas of the street for free or pay a much cheaper rate at a street meter.

This place takes their tiki drinks seriously. The decor is on point - kitschy yet cool and there’s a bit of an Indiana Jones vibe going on. Fun spot for a date or night out with friends. Sit at the bar so you can watch the bartenders work their magic.

10/10 experience!!! The food was tasty! The drinks were delicious and unique. The service and energy from the workers were unmatched. Walking through the secret door in the kitchen to this beautiful oasis is a lovely experience. Definitely recommend giving it a try! Will be coming back for

If you like paying $3 for an ice cube for your scotch, this place is for you. Remember Wendy’s commercial “where’s the beef”? They were probably talking about this place. The tacos were small, like a street taco. Barely any meat on them. There were two tiny avocado wedges for the four tiny tacos. The shrimp pad Thai was super salty. Consider the $17 dishes as appetizers. You will need two each because of the small portions

One of the best tiki bars I've been to on the West Coast!Arrived in time for happy hour and ordered a bunch of apps. The tuna tacos were amazing and the pork Mac was also great.Their Mai tai was top tier and the other drinks we ordered were great. The most impressive was the rum list and selection. Multiple Appleton hearts, black tot last consignment, even some caroni! Taylor was quite knowledgeable (being the bar manager) and was very generous with samples.Definitely make sure to pick up a bottle of their exclusives if you are into rum, the Dr. Bird barrel pick was amazing.5/5, will be back next time in town with more friends.P.S. - would totally join the rum club if I lived closer...

A girl that has been stalking me, approached me while here and was aggressive towards myself and my date. I asked the bartender for help, and they called the manager. The manager was friends with her and threatened to kick me out when I tried to take a photo of them hugging. I don't remember the manager's name but he is an overweight hispanic male about age 35. He did not even ask me what happened, but took her side because he knew her. They are already being sued by others for dangerous security/management at another establishment. I do not recommend going to this location.
