Dr. Funk

The drinks are the BEST!! I love the Phoenix Rising... Get it!! It's a unique beverage and ever so pretty!! They ALWAYS decorate the interior and exterior so elaborately. I just love this place!!!

We came to Dr. Funk for the first time today. Sadly, it's unlikely we will return. There are 4 drinkers at the table and the only person happy with their drink is the person who drank a beer. ☹️ The drinks we ordered had no hint of fresh fruit juice, cheap alcohol, and had a medicinal taste. No tropical aspect at all. The cups were packed with ice and were small and plastic. We suspect the cups were due to the event but the charge should be 50% less. We also think maybe the ratios were off due to the cups and ice. Not really sure but at $17 a drink, you expect it to taste good. Especially from a tiki bar. We just walked away from $34 worth of no bueno and one of the drinks was consumed just because of the principle that he can't walk away. On a positive note, the staff is very nice and cute. The food we had was very good. The mushroom curry is very flavorful. I would've liked more substance, it's mostly sauce but the flavor is really good. The spam fried rice was also very good. The spam was crispy and the flavor profile of the rice was good. We are used to Forbidden Island in Alameda for the drink quality, so it's probably hard to go to any place with less quality but it's sad that we were so disappointed in the drinks. The place is very very cute inside and vibrant but it just wasn't enough to bring us back. :(

One of the best places for happy hour. We had our drinks and food brought to us very quickly. The staff was welcoming and fun. The ambiance and the decor was phenomenal and detailed. Overall a great tiki spot!

Atmosphere was ok. They had decorated for Christmas which was fine but not that great or exciting. Cardboard cutouts aside, it was a half-hearted attempt at best. We were the first ones in when they opened and the table was already sticky from the previous night. Really? Yuck! Made me wonder if anyone actually cleaned this place. The drinks were overpowered and while ok, not the balanced drink you’d expect from a tiki bar. Decided not to try the food after the sticky table mess. So many other choices nearby on San Pedro area that I’d skip this and try out the others next time. Oh, and dog friendly means outdoor only as our friends found out.

The bar had a cool vibe, and the drinks were unique and well-made. I tried their signature cocktail, and it was flavorful with just the right balance of sweetness. The staff was friendly and quick with service. The only downside was that the place got pretty crowded, making it a bit difficult to find a seat. Still, it was a fun place to hang out, and I’ll likely return for another round of drinks.

South Bay finally has a tiki bar to rival forbidden island and smuggler's cove! Drinks were fantastic overall, only dud was was the navy grog which tasted like it had too much grapefruit juice in it. The ambiance is perfect too. There's a planned food menu that wasn't ready yet at the time we visited so eager to see how that one plays out. Be prepared to wait as they limit capacity of who can be inside (which is honestly great, no fighting for seats or the bartenders attention). Only small ding with the experience was our table service was forgotten about after the first round and a drink order was lost, but I wouldn't count that as anything more than first week opening issues. EDIT: Bar has gone downhill a lot. Feels more like a standard bar that happens to have tiki decorations and tiki drinks than an actual tiki bar. The price gouging has also become frankly insane. In the years since my initial review, I've learned the head bartender that was a big driver of everything I loved left and the owners just started squeezing every little drop to make cheap change. We'll see how well having a bad reputation in the tiki bar world works. Adjusting rating to reflect the current reality.

The ribs were very thin not much meat and a little fat. The drinks had good flavor but plenty of ice. The atmosphere was my 😍 private booth intimate setting. Cool vibes..

I wanted to share my experience at Dr Funk tiki bar in downtown San Jose and let me just say, it was a blast! This place had such a wide range of drinks to choose from and the snack options were a great addition. What caught my attention was that each drink had a rating of alcohol content marked with an "X" - the more X's, the stronger the drink. As a fan of rum, I was pleased to see it being featured prominently on the menu. But the real highlight for me was the service. The staff at Dr Funk were not only friendly but also made sure we had a great time. They were knowledgeable about the drinks and made recommendations based on our preferences. They definitely knew how to create a enjoyable atmosphere for their customers. Speaking of atmosphere, that's what really captured my heart about this place. On both occasions that I visited, I chose to sit outside and let me tell you, it felt like stepping into a different world. The unique ambience made me feel like I had been shipwrecked and stumbled upon this hidden oasis in the desert. It was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Dr Funk. I can't wait to experience that sense of escapism once again. Cheers to good times and great drinks! 🥂

Such a fun spot! We went on a Sunday and ordered really amazing drinks which looked and tasted great. Unfortunately we didn't notice that they don't serve food on Sundays, but the servers were kind enough to tell us other places in the area that had amazing food and told us we could bring it in. The vibe was chill and the decor was amazing.

I stopped by this restaurant once, and unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. While the atmosphere was nice, the food was just okay. To be honest, I found the dishes to be lacking in flavor and freshness. The portions were also pretty small for the price. Nothing really stood out as particularly impressive or memorable. For me, it's hard to justify going back when there are so many other great options in the area. Maybe they'll work on improving their recipes, but for now, I won't be returning. If you're a fan of this restaurant, I'd love to hear what you think!

Strong drinks and friendly bartenders! Dr. Funk is my favorite cocktail bar in all of the Bay Area. They have some of the strongest authentic rum cocktails, friendly bartenders, a themed and comfortable interior, and tons of seating. They do batch some of their cocktails, but they are done well and made fresh daily. Their wings, though not breaded, are so crispy! And the curry fries are spicy and full of flavor. Mind the turmeric in the curry, it WILL stain your clothes. I do wish their batched drinks were a bit less pricey than those they need to mix and shake individually, but their happy hour (4-7 M-Th) does offer a considerable discount

Dr. Funk has been a solid tiki bar in downtown - I haven't been as much as I'd like, but it's always a good place to vibe. Atmosphere is on point and drinks are strong and delicious. I've been recently on a president's day with a friend after having an all-you-can eat feast nearby at gyu-kaku, and we wanted to cap it off with a couple drinks. It was pretty quiet for a Monday night but they had a sharks special and an additional brewery takeover. We took advantage of the cheaper mai tai's ($8 Mai tai Mondays!) then switched over to the non-alcoholics. Service was quick especially bc we were sat at the bar. A little bit more disappointing though - we went on a Sunday afternoon during Memorial Day weekend and found out there is no food on Sundays! Apparently it is a recent business decision to close the kitchen on Sundays, and also applies to the Irish pub next door (apparently the same owner!) unfortunately it changed our plans of having cocktails bc cocktails on an empty stomach is a recipe for disaster. : (

Tiki in the South Bay? Sure, why not? Believe it or not, Dr. Funk isn't the name of a locally popular R&B DJ. The name refers to Dr. Bernhard Funk who practiced tropical mixology in the South Pacific for 31 years back at the end of the 19th century. In tribute, this spacious tiki bar was opened in the always congested San Pedro Square where it appears to attract the locals in droves. Jamie W. and I met our friends Carlos and Jack for a long-awaited reunion and decided to start our evening here. We stayed out in the patio since it was balmy out. They offered about nine classic tiki drinks and eleven more artisan cocktails presumably of their own creation. The four of us ordered two of those cocktails in pairs as they were the most tropical of the bunch. One was the $19 Phoenix Rising, a mix of mezcal, Oaxacan rum, aperol, pineapple, lime, coconut cream, cinnamon, and serrano tincture (photo: https://yelp.to/RKXtHVgeQl). A creamy delight with just enough kick to sustain us to dinner. The other was the $17 Drink of the Gods, definitely a funkier drink with the wallop of three different rums plus cherry liqueur, coconut cream, heavy cream, pineapple, lemon, turbinado, and bitters (photo: https://yelp.to/PPKNqcBxGS). If the Phoenix Rising had the kick of a mule, the Drink of the Gods felt more like Secretariat on a bad day. It was indeed tropical but just enough to make you remember you're nowhere near Honolulu. Our server was quite new, so he was enthusiastic to make sure we were happy with our selections. Honestly it wasn't a landmark level of tiki libation but they met our needs. COCKTAILS - 3 stars...enough kick but not our favorites, also quite pricey AMBIANCE - 4 stars...a solid job on the tiki decor SERVICE - 4 stars...he was really making the effort TOTAL - 3 stars...it comes down to the libations RELATED - Exploring the South Bay? Here's my collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2uv12JY

Seemed like a nice place to come with a few friends. We order some shots and mai tai. The mai tai was bitter and not to my standards. However, the place seems like a cool place to hang out with friends and probably order food and regular beverages.

Came here for dinner before a concert at SAP. We had fried rice, prawns, strong cocktails, burger and fries. Everything was delicious. Such a fun atmosphere. Big outdoor patio. Service was friendly. They were a little slow due to the crowds but we enjoyed our cocktails while we waited for the food. I'd come back!

The tiki scene in the Bay is just sooo good. Y'all don't even know how lucky you have it. Loves: + Tiki bar vibes are always just a good time + Good drinks, and mine (Phoenix Rising) even came with some pageantry + Located in San Pedro Square so you're close to everything + Good for pairs to bigger groups too + Friendly and attentive staff Fun fact: this spot is designed by the same human who designed Smuggler's Cove in SF.

Tuesday night and we had about 8 people, we sat out on the patio and it was a great time. The music inside was a bit too loud but it was just right outside, especially if you wanna have some conversations. We ordered a bunch of different drinks and they are strong. I got the Puka Punch and it definitely packed a punch. The drinks are themed and have a very tropical vibe to them. The tiki decor isn't too much, just fun! The waiter was extremely friendly and took pictures for us. The water jugs were replenished frequently, it was a slower night but I feel like the staff would be attentive even if it was a weekend. The parking structure across the street is so convenient and you can bar hop easily from this location. Try it out, it's a good time!

This place is SO fun. The aesthetic is so spot on, there's little tiki hut tables and the lighting is so fun. I remember the drinks being very tropical and fun, and very themed for the vibe it was going for and the food as well. The menu had fun names too. The service was really quick and kind too especially given that we had a large (and bit of a loud) group! Would return for sure.

This place is a hidden gem located in downtown San Jose. Wanted to try some new, interesting and tasty cocktails, and we definitely found that here. I ordered the Distant Sunset which was super tasty. Along with, Drink of the Gods which was strong in alcohol content and tasty (really rare to find nowadays). Our server was great, very attentive and outgoing. We asked him what appetizers he would suggest to go with our drinks, and he recommended the coconut shrimp which did pair really well. I did wish that they had more finger food to go with our drinks. The place is decorated to fit the theme of a tiki bar. Will definitely be coming back here to try their other cocktails

My hubby and I came here as a date night before seeing a musical. We love tiki drinks so we were thrilled to find this restaurant that had food as well! All of the food that we had was delicious, I even forgot to take a picture of the burger!! The coconut shrimp were almost all gone too by the time I took the photo. The drinks were really good, highly recommend if you're looking for something fun or if you like tiki drinks. The theming is fantastic and on point. The service was also good they came and checked on us often. We could have been in and out in under an hour if we wanted to. Can't wait to go back!

Such a perfect little date night tiki spot! The drinks are delicious and strong and they have yummy lunch and dinner items! Thanks to Oscar for his super helpful & friendly service as well as turning me on to his personal fav, the Shipwreck!

It is always nice to find new gems when visiting home. I moved away from San Jose in 2015 and now reside in Las Vegas where the tiki scene is popping. That said, I have always felt intimidated by these magical places so I never visited a tiki bar until stumbling upon Dr. Funk in the old Peggy Sue's diner location. Upon entering, the scent of fresh mint and pineapple tickled my senses. The Justins greeted us and took the time to explain the menu and rum selections. We watched as our cocktails were finely crafted. Since we were there early, food was not ready at first, but the Justins made sure to place a priority order so our chicken wings were piping hot! My only regret is not returning after Music in the Park. We will definitely return when visiting back home! Many thanks to the Justins for the hospitality and stellar service.

A San Jose tiki bar that nails the aesthetic, but misses on the verve. The drinks were great (but pricy, and only two non-alcoholic options). The food was passable - the spicy chicken sandwich was over-fried, and the spice varied from bite to bite. But no one eats here for gourmet experiences, and what's on offer is perfectly fine.

I wasn't planning on stopping here but the great playlist & cute decor caught my attention. This place is definitely a vibe! It's a great location to stop by to grab a few drinks before having dinner at restaurants nearby. Service was decent, other servers were more attentive than my server. For the price to drink ratio, they are worth the price especially those marked with "XXX", as they are strong even with a significant amount of ice. XXX drinks tried: - Shipwreck: not my jam on how the flavors turned out and a bit heavy on the banana flavor; it's strong but doesn't taste like alcohol, I'd order this again just for the nice buzz. - Puka Punch: fruity, refreshing, and floral notes; it's a bit smaller drink but still delivered a strong punch, I'd order this again just for the nice buzz too.

If you want to catch a quick buzz and amazing atmosphere, Dr. Funk is the place to be at! We came here on a Friday night and were quickly seated on a table outside. I do recommend seeing if there is a table available inside or at least walking inside to catch a glimpse of the nice interior however. We got the Puka Punch bowl to share and the presentation was really nice! I was disappointed that they downgraded the size however. Nevertheless, the drink was refreshing and my group had a great time sipping on the bowl.

I've been to Dr. Funk a multitude of times since moving to the Bay. It's located ideally in San Pedro square but is almost hidden, if you're not paying attention you may miss it. The place is quaint with low lighting and an inviting atmosphere. It can get pretty crowded on weekends so finding a table isn't guaranteed without a reservation. Despite the crowd, it's never too loud so you can to have an actual conversation.The staff is almost always really attentive no matter how crowded the place may become. The drinks here are top notch. Really delicious and have their own unique flavors. Each drink has "X's" depicting how strong a drink is ranging from 1 to 3 X's. And believe me, this place is not watering down their drinks. Honestly the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is their food. Their fries and other finger food are fine. But I had the absolute worst chicken wings here. I don't recommend those to anyone. All in all, i really recommend this place. It's one of my go to bars in the area.

Great cocktails. Little bit on the sweeter side. We tried missionary's downfall and puka punch. Food is average.

Phewww really strong drinks hurrr. My current condition may or may not affect my rating lol (or should I just wait until later to review it?.....naaah). Extra word vomiting, lessgo!!!!! ------------------- This tiki bar is primarily focused on rum-based drinks and I do quite like the rum here. The cocktails that I tried were the sidewinder's fang and queen's park swizzle. If you love sweet tropical cocktails the sidewinder's fang would be right up your alley. I personally enjoyed the queen park swizzle even more though because of the fun citrusy sour punch to it. The food that I also tried was decent.....it definitely hit certain cravings while drinking hahaha. The fish and chips: the fish was not the most succulent but was still scrumptiously crispy and the chips were like freshly prepared McDonalds fries (IYKYK when you want 'em!). Chicken skewers: reminded me of L&L teriyaki chicken thighs loool kinda one note on the heavy soy sauce taste but I wasn't mad about it at all; the skewers also were pretty hefty. You could argue that I should dock a star for the food to not lean on specific (cheap but not cheap here) food cravings, but in that case I would still redeem a star for the ambiance and service. Loved the colorful lighting and themed decor here (one of the better decorated tiki bars that I've been to for sure) and the server was friendly and attentive. Overall a great spot to check out if you want some drinks and food in a cool and chill environment.

Dr. Funk is a corporate-feeling tiki bar in San Jose. They do not play Exotica (tiki music) but rather reggae and other music. The bar area is somewhat bright. I ordered a Shipwreck and a Missionary's Downfall. Both tasted like daiquiris. There was nothing distinctive about them. My bartender was more concerned with her sidework than engaging. When I left, no one even realized.

This is the tiki bar of tiki bars. Who needs Cheers when you got Dr. Funk! What a great place to chill and enjoy the vibes. Great music at the place last night. Bartenders signing along to the music and hyping the patrons. The food is great bar food with sandwiches, wings, nachos, curries, skewers, ribs, burgers! They have HAPPY HOUR!! and of course an ample selection on their dinner menu as well. This place has it all and everything is delicious. The drinks are on point and go down smooth. The staff is friendly and the main bartender is awesome. If you go there you must try the Rising Phoenix! (see the attached video). You won't be disappointed. Sample the large selection of rum. Just a fun place to hang out at in San Pedro Square. They even reserve it out for private events. A must to visit when you are in DTSJ!

Loved the vibe of the place! Don't let the gorgeous cocktails fool you, even though they taste amazing, they're stronger than you think! The first time I came here I saw a drink with fire and wanted it. It was called the Phoenix Rising. I'm not a fan of Mezcal but this drink was really good! The smokey taste that Mezcal usually has wasn't over powering and actually complemented the drink! The vibe was chill, the bartenders were knowledgeable on the drinks and friendly and there's even outdoor seating in the front and the side! My only complaint is their tiki bowls. They're not really worth the price. They're mainly filled with ice and they're tiny. All-in-all this place is cute. I recommend trying this place out. Make it you're first stop to start the night!

The ambiance is incredible! This Tiki bar transports you to a calm and relaxing get away near a beach. The servers are so very nice and personable, they really want you to enjoy and relax here. The drinks are also incredible and taste just right. I also really love the coconut shrimp! I would highly recommend stopping by for some drinks with friends:)

The decor was on point, the service was great as well. However, we were left really disappointed by thier original drinks, hence 3 stars. Their original cocktails lacked balance, tasted like a mishmash of ingredients thrown together without harmony. Decor - 5 stars Service - 4 stars Orginal cocktails - 1 star

Went with friends on a Friday night, liked the somewhat cheesy island vibes, cocktails were great! Couldn't taste the booze, but boy did it sneak up on us. Service was attentive and accommodating.

Made a reservation for a friday night. The area can get pretty busy! There was some confusion about our table initially but it got sorted and we got our table inside. Def recommend inside seating if it's you first time. Just for the atmosphere and experience! Drinks came out abit after we ordered. The drinks were pretty good. Good star ratings to let you know which are the stronger drinks. Really fun watching them set other drinks on fire while enjoying ours. Fun place to grab tiki drinks. Will have to try some food next time too!

Outstanding tropical drinks in a fantasy environment. Take a trip away from the city when you step inside the litttle grass shack of Dr. Funk. Flaming cocktails. Tasty food. Fun people. Sit inside in a cozy booth or outside on patio for people watching

Such a cute tiki spot. They had a DJ playing oldies or island music or something of the nature. The bartenders were super nice and attentive! Drinks -drink of the gods-started off with this cocktails and it was STRONG. Easy to drink too. Never really feel like $17 cocktails str worth it but this one got me tipsy right off the bat and that is not an easy feat -mai tai pa-on the menu as a tropical ipa. It was okay! Could definitely taste the fruitiness in the drink. I'm personally more of a hoppy ipa person but since it's a tiki bar I decided to try the fruity option and it was pretty good! Such a cute spot! The fact that they had the DJ for a Tuesday means it is probably a crowded spot on the weekends. Would come back!

Met up with some friends to grab some drinks. We had the mai tai, missionary's downfall, bali bali, and vacation valhalla. No one really enjoyed their drinks. They all tasted a bit off for us. Service was slow that night with ordering, and refilling water. Parking in SJ is tough in peak hours, so you may need to walk a few blocks. Consistency seems to be a bit of an issue here looking at the other reviews.

Good vibes and drinks with a pet-friendly patio! This review is from a while ago, so the drinks we got might be different than what is offered now - just FYI! The interior of Dr. Funk definitely has nice tiki bar vibes, but the patio isn't that decorated so I'd recommend leaving your pups at home to fully enjoy the ambiance. We brought our pup along with us so we had to sit outside, but it was still quite nice. I ordered the Culpepper's Remedy and my boyfriend got the Dr. Funk and some fries to share. I love that the menu has Xs to rate how strong the drinks are and a detailed description of the flavor profiles. The drinks were beautiful and delicious and I wish we were a bit more hungry to try their other bites - they had a good variety of finger food and snacks!

The service and decor were great. The drinks were sour and not island tropical. They all kind of tasted the same so it was super disappointing. They played current music so I felt like I was at a night club not a tiki bar. Won't come back. Super disappointed.

Bar wise awesome... but no Mac salad. HOW CAN THERE BE NO MAC SALAD? Food was good but... can't miss the Mac salad. Please add that.

Lovely atmosphere and good drinks! The service was good and informative! Definitely a cute place to go after work and relax.

Awesome tiki bar! Great for a night out with friends. It's not too crazy but lively enough to keep the evening going. The drinks are a little bit on the pricey side, but not too bad considering the drinks are strong . There's a reason some of them have a limit of 2 per person

The food and drinks options could be better. Possibly have a like band or better music playing. It felt kinda lame on a Friday night.

I'm usually not a huge fan of tiki bars, since I don't like overly sweet cocktails. However, I got lucky here and actually got a drink I really enjoyed! Drinks here are are rated X, XX or XXX for how strong they are. We got one of each. -Phoenix Rising (XX) - The favorite at our table! I probably should have expected this from the name, but I was pleasantly surprised when the waitress lit the drink on fire! The flame can get pretty tall. Definitely a fun and photo-worthy drink. The flavors in this drink are delicious! A perfect blend of creamy, tropical, and spicy. -Zombie (XXX) - This was STRONG. XXX drinks are limited to 2, and we could tell why. It got my friend good LOL. This one uses 4 rums including 151. Enough said! -Jungle Bird (X) - This one was alright. The ice cube was quite large so it felt like there was barely any drink. It was a more simple drink, with a shorter ingredient list than other drinks. There is HH here from 4-7 Monday to Thursday (except SAP events nights). The interior is well decorated and you feel like you're transported elsewhere! Definitely a fun place with varying levels of strong drinks.

Such a fun and cool tiki bar in the area! Perfectly located right next to a parking structure where the first 90 minutes are free. Right when you walk into the bar, you're immediately transported to another place, and the little booths are decorated as huts. Service is super friendly, and they make an effort to explain their menu and any recommendations they might have. The drinks are a little high and more equivalent to the pricing that you would see in San Francisco. However, the drinks are really strong, so it makes up for the price. They also have a food menu here, and we tried the curry fries and the chicken sandwich. The sandwich was fairly spicy (which we were warned of in advance), so I wouldn't order it if you have a low spice tolerance, but the curry fries were super flavorful and crispy. As for my drink, I got the Distant Sunset which was fairly fruity and strong with the gin.

Made reservations at Dr Funk a few days before for 7:30 and requested the booth for six people. Really happy I did because it's right in the corner and can see everything happening. Parking was great right across the street in the parking structure. The party of six had a mixture of drinks and food items that everyone seem to enjoy. The shrimp seem to be the highlight and it was really good. The curry was really good as well as the curry fries. I had the zombie it was strong but had a weird flavor and might have needed a little sweetness added and for the price maybe a little bigger. Otherwise no complaints on drinks and food. The one complaint we did have was hidden fees. Such as the 4% living wage and being taxed on our tip on the final bill. Overall we didn't mind the 18% mandatory large party tip but when we went home and tried to split the bill evenly we did find that the 18% was actually almost 19% and being taxed on tip was about 25% in total. Service was excellent can't complain and we do want our staff team to be rewarded fairly. But maybe what doesn't sit well is in that presentation on the bill and not being informed up front, unless I missed it. Would I return? Absolutely!

Stopped in for cocktails on a sharks game day and ordered a burger from the sharks menu, one of the cocktails off that menu and another off the regular. Friendly staff, very cute and fun vibe inside with the decor!

I've been to a decent amount of tiki bars before, and have to give a lot of credit to this one for having a (very small) mocktail menu. I'm not a big drinker and had just had surgery, so having a few non alcoholic options was awesome. It's pretty spacious in here, I like the different sized booths and a giant aperol of water for the table. The bathrooms are in the back hallway which is shared with the surrounding businesses including an Irish pub. I guess it's dog friendly because there was an adorable cutie in there with his dad at the bar, and it honestly made the entire time there much better.

A lovely place for a drink in downtown San Jose. Sure, it will be crowded on a weekend night but they do take reservations so you can lock in your seats if you're able to plan enough ahead. The drinks are tropical and strong and come out very fast. I was impressed with how attentive their service was and with the quality of the drinks (even if they obviously have stuff mixed in advance.) Bonus: on Sharks game nights they have some rad specials. I got an Alvarado St Mai Tai with a fairly smooth shot of rum. Now that's my kind of combo!

Drinks and food are good. Love the ambience. A great Tiki experience. Service was great also. They aren't very good on off menu drinks, so stick to the menu and you will have a great night.

Love this tiki cocktail bar! A lot of time and effort spent on the decor. Dim lighting and loungey feels inside. I've been here a few times and staff has been great every time. Their drinks are yummy and strong! I've tried a few different drinks, but believe it or not; the one drink I crave from here is their Pina Colada hahaha Drinks are pricey but average cost for a well made cocktail in dtsj.

Stopped here around 10pm on a Friday after grabbing dinner nearby. There were tables available outside but none open inside, and I see why - the inside is awesome! Super decked out in tiki bar vibes and it really feels like you're transported to the Caribbean. They had a waitlist available, but since we were thinking of doing just drinks, we opted for going to the bar inside which has no wait. We got two drinks: - Phoenix Rising (5/5): tasty drink, but mostly just super epic. They set the drink on fire and then shake cinnamon on top, which sets the whole thing off - so cool to see! - Drink of the Gods (5/5): refreshing drink. They made a rum heavy drink still taste so light and yummy. Always nice to get a pineapple slice to eat after too! Both drinks were also strong and packed a good punch. Good bang for your buck, since the drinks are priced a little more than your standard bar drink. You get the experience too! I can't wait to stop here again and try out their other drinks; the whole menu looks great and unique.

Fun ambiance with some unique and cute drinks at the bar! While waiting for my drink, there were so many different colorful and decorated cocktails being made. The Dead Man's Isle and Siren's Shore are definitely a couple popular ones. My group of friends tried the Scorpion, which is a HUGE bowl with citrus, pineapple, and flowers on top. Not to mention.. they set the cocktail ON FIRE! Super unique. However... the taste was REALLY STRONG. Though it had some fruit notes in there, it was definitely packed with alcohol. Very strong.

Super cute tiki inspired bar! The drinks are amazing and the customer service is excellent. They also have great music on the weekends and a big open patio that is perfect for summer nights! One of my favorite places to visit in DTSJ.

It was my birthday a few months back and I wanted nothing more than a tropical cocktail on a beach. But if vacay is not option, but a tiki drink drink would do. Luckily the hubs got at table Dr. Funk, who apparently was a fellow German with an affinity for cocktails. Danke! Their drinks were strong and delicious. Their food was surprisingly good, especially the Galbi. And the vibe is on point. Will def be back with friends.

Fun ambiance. Wished they have curly fries and not curry fries Drinks are delicious. Bartender was super approachable and friendly. Hope to come back to try more drinks and snacks here.

Love the casual ambiance here, super chill. Staff is quick and attentive. Drinks are delicious. We had a Mai Thai, Shipwreck, and Puka Punch all soooo good and good prices for the area. Basket of fries was BOMB, super crispy.
