We did not eat here, but visited this place for the first time today after viewing the Donn the Beachcomber documentary at a nearby movie theater. The 2 bartenders were very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable even though the place was packed!! Excellent service with a smile! I'd visit again.

This place executes punk tiki-bar in the best way. The vibes and decor are so fun. Fun tiki drinks, and if you want, you can take home the glasses home for only $7.

My only one complaint about this place is that seating is a bit limited, but the space between the bar and seating is so narrow, that its a bit awkward to stand. But because there's no cover, its always worth popping in to see if there's a place to sit.

one of my favorite places to be in nyc-they know how to pour their punch of liquor in the drinks, the right amount of griminess in the vibe and the music, and the bartender with flower on her head always comes with a smile when she serves the drinks, and is always there on a Friday night, with funky guitars, loud basses, and shrunken head. You got it, me writing a google review at 10:54 PM after 2 tiki drinks and one more volcano to share in spirit:)

Tasty drinks with a lot of different options for different tastes. We enjoyed this place, but the music was a bit loud for us. Understandably, it was punk rock happy hour :P next time we’ll try the small bites.

Such a fun place, the vibes are so cool. It's a tiki bar, so expect the drinks to be fruity and fun. I went with a group and got a drink that was lit on fire. They also have food from the Chinese place next door and it's pretty good. They also have free water, which is important to me when drinking at the bar.
