Rachael LynnJanuary 21, 2012Cool bar, but beware: very crowded, slow and no air circulation on busy nights.
RTWgirl ArnetteApril 8, 2014Had the worst mojito here. 4 others agreed. They made new ones for us and they all still sucked. How is that possible in a rum bar?
Batida de coco for me, black prince for my boy. Both excellent.
Ariel BackenrothJune 26, 2010Stay away! The people running this place are assholes. If you want a nice friendly tiki bar, try Trad'r Sams in the Richmond.
Morgan LintonNovember 22, 2012Order the salty walrus, not on the menu and only available from the upstairs bar. Tell them "Morgan" recommended it, best drink at the cove!
