Hala Kahiki Lounge

Fun and atmospheric tiki bar, massive menu with plenty of delicious options, fast and friendly service. Barrel of Bananas was a less sweet and stronger option, while Mai Chai was sweeter and less strong. Sweet potato and taro chips and pineapple and mango salsas are all great, can't go wrong. Went for the chocolate and standard Kokomos and both were awesome, fairly light and sweet - chocolate overpowers a bit, while the standard is a perfect balance of Amaretto and coconut. Wanila Niu shot is fun, and Lava Flo is a super-tasty treat!

I didn't come here for the food, but for the drinks. I sat at the bar and the decorations, mood lighting and music are great. They definitely had a wide variety of drink options with and without alcohol. If I'm ever in the area again, I will stop by!

Just fly in for the weekend and we stopped by on the way back from the airport. We got there early and parking was a breeze. There is free street parking along the front and down the side of the residential area. The atmosphere is great with the decor being very Polynesian. The weather was nice and we sat outside in the back covered outside area. They have fans to circulate the air. We got the edamame for a snack and had a couple of drinks. The wait staff was fantastic and very friendly. it drinks were fantastic and strong enough for what you get. I got the Hala Kahiki and love the glasses it came in. It tasted great and was definitely strong enough. I’ll be coming back next time. I visit Chicago.

Let me be the latest to say that my friends and I have enjoyed Hala Kahiki for years. I used to drive past here with my dad before I turned 21, and it was among the first bars I wanted to visit when I became of age. I don't live in Illinois anymore, but try to make a stop here whenever I visit. It's the perfect atmosphere for an intimate date or just a night out with friends. The drinks aren't cheap, but they taste great and there is an amazing variety. I'm so glad Hala Kahiki has remained open after all these years.

I like Hala Kahiki, we have been coming there for many years ( 20 years). They have a great selection of drinks full bar. Plenty cocktails available. I used to like that they had pretzels, but they have been discontinued. Few things like restrooms could be updated. The menu is great, but no prices available ( not thrilled about that) , you only find out at the end or unless you ask about each drink. Service was good, but at some point they stopped coming over and most of the time would have to ask them to come over to take the order. Our drink didn't come for awhile, had to call then to see, plus one of us didn't get to order because we couldn't see our server anymore ( not great) Overall I still like the place and would cone, juat wish they would put a bit more effort in to those things like putting prices on drinks. We spend about 130$ for 4 people ( about 7 drinks total ) .

Hidden gem in the suburbs. I've lived here 8 years and finally came here with my mom. Definitely recommend eating before. Food menu is limited as the focus is clearly on the diverse drink menu. They have an amazing selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails. Will definitely return.

Really fun and unique atmosphere — definitely a cool experience! The tropical vibe and decor were super immersive, felt like a little vacation in the city 🌴 One thing that threw me off a bit was that the drink menu didn’t have any prices 🤏 It’s hard to know what to expect unless you check online. I ended up paying $50 for two drinks, and my friend paid $28 — kind of a surprise. We also ordered sushi, which was okay — nothing special, but decent enough as a snack. The staff was great! One of my drinks was really strong and they remade it with no problem. Super friendly and accommodating — definitely a plus!

Didn't eat food but had a wonderful chill evening with my bestie. Gideon was a great server! Looking forward to visit again in the future
