Loud rap music kills the atmosphere. Should be exotica music.

Rebekkah was absolutely fantastic! She was the best bar tender I’ve had in so long! She made sure we had everything we needed. Checked on us multiple times and overall was just the sweetest person! Genuine and very hospitable!

As a tiki bar lover, this place ticks all the boxes: great drinks, friendly service, and amazing atmosphere. The menu offers a good mix of classic tiki drinks and some with modern twists. And the vibes are just right…the floor-to-ceiling decor is incredibly detailed and well thought out. You really feel like you’ve left the Midwest when you’re here. Bartender Ben was lovely as well. If you’re a fan of tiki bars or just tasty fruity cocktails, don’t miss this place!

Love the ambiance/decor! Small cutesy bar. We like going on Sundays for the sushi specials (they use Blue Sushi's menu). The tap water has something wrong with it but that's the only downside :)

I'm sure the drinks are good here, but it says they close at 2 and we stopped by at midnight and they were closed. Call before you go, don't waist your time trying to go after midnight!
All I gotta say is, wow. This little hole in the wall is the perfect escape. Not crowded, fantastic drinks, service is amazing, and the atmosphere is so cool. You don't even feel like you're in the Midwest. Music is great and not loud so you can easily have a conversation. We will definitely be back!

Fun bar with great drinks and even better service. My only gripe is how expensive it is. Even comparatively to similar places, this bar is PRICEY. Overall it’s good and I would recommend, although I find it hard to get more than a drink or 2 before I can no longer justify the money I’m spending

Tyler and his team at Blue/Revival House did an amazing job helping us plan a birthday party. The food was amazing as usual, and the cocktails and atmosphere couldn’t have been more perfect! Great place to hold an event, or pop in for a cocktail or two.

Ben was an absolutely awesome bartender, and the drinks were super good. The vibe was cozy and calm and a great place to get drunk and yap with my best friends.
The bathroom was also super clean and abundant, as well as the rest of the bar. Really enjoyed this place

This place has such a fun, clean, atmosphere with a great design vibe! Definitely a place I would like to sit and hang out longer on a date or out with friends. The drinks we had were phenomenal! It's rare to find a place with an upscale fun ambiance, and also have top of the line drinks, but this place hit it right on! They obviously only have a certain style of drinks with their tiki theme, but we found the drinks to be robust enough that they were fantastic even without being our go to style of cocktails! Definitely will come back!
