This place is so weird. You walk down an alley (the nicest alley ever) that is lit with tiki torches, and are greeted by a bouncer wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a blazer. The bar is in the lower level of a building, and right when you walk in you see bright blue lit up skulls and dim lighting. I was thinking this place wouldn't be packed, and we'd be able to get a seat right away so we could have a couple drinks and apps. Well, I was wrong. Turns out there was an hour wait.
So we went to the bar and ordered some drinks. I don't know what I was expecting with a tiki-themed bar, but all the drinks were super expensive and were sugary beach cocktails. They do however come in statement glasses, which you can buy as a souvenir to take home (are we at Disney?). There also were not enough cocktail tables at the bar area. As this is mostly a cocktail joint, with a small and limited menu, they should have had more hang space to make it more enjoyable for the people just grabbing a drink.
Although I had fun (solely because of the company I was with), I will not be going back here. If this was on your Chicago bucket list, cross it off. There are so many other good places to go.
