Food is great, super clean inside. Great place to watch a game, have a drink and a bite to eat.

Love the idea of a tiki bar in the city. John did a great job setting it up. The drinks from the. Staff were delicious. However he could use a waitress instead of bartenders going to the tables as the wait for that is waaay too long. Finallly I wish he had in house food prep instead of farming out to Grasso’s. Our 2 chicken finger dinners were toooo overdone and really inedible. My fish (& chips) was underdone and therefore not edible either. An in-house cook would care about “their” business whereas farmed-out cooks are just looking for a payday.

Had my wife’s surprise 40th here. John was very easy to work with and the bartenders were super helpful with decorations and made great drinks. Great atmosphere and a perfect spot to shelter from the rain while still feeling tropical. wing bites and pizza were delicious!

Where do I start about the tiki bar. Always a great atmosphere, great food from grassos kitchen, and great staff. Love the set up and the look of the outside patio. The live music on the weekends is always great.
The owners John and Kat are always great and welcoming!!!
My real reason for leaving this review is to highlight a certain employee. I have been coming here for years since you opened. I have seen many bartenders come and go. I just wanted to say that Michelle is AMAZING!!! She is the reason I keep on coming. No new bartenders can compete. I like to say “she is the tiki bar”. She is the one to create the environment for the guests. The way I sit back and watch her interact with everyone she comes in contact with and they all have a huge smile on their face is amazing. There has been days I’ve came and she wasn’t there and the experience wasn’t the same. She makes my experience amazing every time I come, over anyone else. I hear the same from other customers that I come in contact with when I’m here. If she were to ever leave, I’d follow her to the next bar she was employed at, and I’m sure other customers would do the same. Please value her!!! Give her a raise !!

A relaxing place west of a dead end street. Clean and bright, a wonderful place to meet friends and family.
