Great Tiki Bar in the city, one of my favorites. Massive cocktail menu, knowledgeable bartenders, amazing vibes, super fun ambiance. Not super easy to spot from the street, can also get busy. Every time I come to the bay, I try to make time to come here. Don’t sleep on Smugglers Cove. One of my favorite Tiki Mugs came from here, would be great if they had shirts or coasters, I try to collect them from the tiki bars that I visit all over.

Have wanted to visit this iconic tiki bar for a long time and we finally made it. They did not disappoint. Staff was awesome with knowledge and recommendations and the drinks were amazing. Went twice in three days to take it all in. If you can get there when they open, you may get lucky enough to sit at one of the two bars.

Very fun place. Definitely my favorite stop for the night. Very crowded, but we got our drinks fast and they were delicious!!

I don’t understand what the 1-star reviews talking about. The service was amazing. After telling the barkeeper once my name he called me after my name. Our drinks were done under 10min. Very friendly stuff. I can recommend to come before the rush like around 9pm. It’s easy to spent there 3-4h.

Worth dropping by for a drink, although not really designed to hang out. Strong drinks and limited seating kind of make you feel like you’re intended to move along. Drinks were really tasty and aesthetically presented, and the line outside moved pretty quickly, so I’d go again if in town, but wouldn’t be a regular. A worthwhile novelty to experience at least once.
