Love a good tiki bar, and there are so few in the East Bay. Great drinks and a low key crowd. Only wish parking was easier to find. (Street only)

Must have been an off night- the place was mostly empty and the bartender was not on their game/brought the vibe down.

The drinks were poorly made. The bartender just floated one ingredient on top of another without mixing. The drinks were overly sweet - and I love sweet drinks! I was really looking forward to coming here, but I don't think I'll come back. The ambience was beautiful and I got quick service on a Friday night, so both of those are pluses. Still, I doubt I'll be coming here again.

Pretty good for $12 cocktails. Only one bartender for a Tuesday night so there is some wait time
Drinks were great !

Not in the Bar scene anymore but this place is truly lovely. Loved the drinks and the price range. A little too loud for my taste but I guess it comes with the type of business.

This is one of those places where someone spent w lot of money on a high end, highly skilled tiki bar contractor, then forgot to buy jiggers, or good ingredients. The classic drinks on the menu have zero resemblance to the classic, well known, easy to find recipes for them. They were all pretty terrible. The hip hop soundtrack doesn't help.I'm not sure why people go out and build such beautiful tiki temples then run them like this. Makes no sense.

So the floor is sticky, so what? All the bartenders here know how to make all the classics and are true professionals. Kona Club is the spot. Please tell me you didn’t come here for filet mignon.

Is this the only tiki bar where you can’t get a good Mai Tai? I know of one other, it’s in Hawaii and oddly enough it’s called Mai Tai Bar. The Mai Tai listed on the Kona Club menu has pineapple and guava… (not a real Mai Tai) we asked for the Trader Vic original and were served? ??? Who knows what but it was not good. The Mai Tai was invented in Oakland so what’s the problem?

Music is too loud to hear conversations. Drinks are pretty good though.

I loved this place and I had a good time there. I don't drink a lot. I had a single beer here with a friend and I really enjoyed my time while I was there. The bartender was friendly. I had a beer and my friend had a virgin cocktail. Both tasted great! ????
Kid-friendliness: I'm not sure why you would take your kids to a bar. I mean I guess my dad used to and I turned out fine. ? Seriously though, don't take your kids to bars.
