What Our Guests Say About Us

“I’m a tough critic when it comes to service, and I was blown away by how thoughtful and courteous everyone is at these bars. The menus are complex, and I always ask a lot of questions. Each bartender explained different aspects effortlessly and in a way that made me feel jealous to not know more. I love it here.”

– Monica Alton, 2024

Really incredible tiki bar! Stacks up next to places like Paradise Lost, Hala Kahiki, Mai Kai, to name a few of comparable craft. Would absolutely recommend. Will return every time I visit the area.

Fantastic bar for rum drinkers. Friendly, helpful staff. It was a pleasure drinking here. Great selection . The cocktail and the rum list at really fair prices. The cocktails are well crafted balanced. Some OG Tiki drinks and a good selection of house specials. Justice went above and beyond in helping with rum selection and availability. Highly recommend.

Excellently curated atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff, interesting and well made drinks (not inexpensive, but you're paying for a premium drink PLUS the experience to go along with it). I would definitely recommend this for people who are visiting the area.
