"This bar takes inspiration from old-timey Caribbean mansions. The outré decor — complete with lion statues — and a pool table encourage an entertaining night out. Tiki-ish cocktails like the drunken coconut (rum, coconut water, and pineapple juice served in a coconut) are decently priced (for the East Village) at under $14, and island-influenced small bites range from coconut shrimp to jerk chicken wings. Reservations are accepted for groups of six or more, and the bar has a front room that can be reserved for a group to gather." - Paul Schrodt, Stefanie Tuder
