Loved this tiki bar. Such a good vibe. Big fan of tikis so I go when I can. This was a good one I tell ya. Can’t remember what I ordered but I liked it me. I’d come back. We parked across the street in a paid parking lot.

Love the vibes, I love me a good tiki bar. Not much concept of time or place once you get inside, and I like that— I like to feel like I’m tucked away in a vibrant beach themed retreat. Had a Keylime cocktail that was based on their popular Keylime pie shot. Oh my gosh, it was so good. Totally recommended. Will definitely be back!!

I’m a big fan. Super kind server, the drinks were delicious. Even had great NA options, so you don’t feel goofy sitting there with a soda water. Loved the presentation, flavor, and price. I wish I could decorate my living room like this place, it’s awesome. Definitely recommending to everyone who likes drinks that taste like the person who made them cares, come check them out if you’re in the neighborhood!

My husband and I have been coming here since we were dating. Love the atmosphere and the fact that we don't have to yell at each other when we are having a conversation. Great drinks too. Rum doesn't give me a headache- thats a win in my book!

This is a really cool tiki bar located in Fort Worth, Texas. Once you enter the doors, your journey into escapism begins. Kevin was tending bar during this visit, and he was amazing in all categories. A mixologists approach to the cocktail is taken, as fresh ingredients are used, which you can taste in the final product. Kevin is very knowledgeable with various spirits, which definitely showed in the way he prepared a drink. The drinks were very well balanced and flavorful. This spot is definitely worth a visit, especially if you appreciate a well prepared cocktail and a cool tiki bar. This spot is drinks only, so plan solid sustenance accordingly and check for hours of operation. Bar and tabletop seating are available. If you like great people, service, and drinks, walk in, pull up a seat, and enjoy! Cheers, and I hope to see you soon!

Very cool tiki bar, it’s like a spooky tiki situation. Huge menu, they have bowls to share which are always fun. “I don’t like sweet drinks” had me laughing out loud. They are silly over there! Service was exceptional. If you’re into tiki you’ve got to stop by

Kelsey and Brandey (not sure how to spell her name properly because I was not told) made the experience amazing.

Food: they don't have food here, so I gave it a 2 star, but it should really be N/A. You can bring your own food, so that makes it amazing.

Customer service:
Absolutely love Kelsey. She has 7 absolutely beautiful and amazing pets. She is literally the epitome of a good person.

Drinks:
The drinks cost anywhere from $9 to $14. So they're affordable but you can spend a lot if your not careful. However, the experience is worth it. The drinks can hit you if you let them, so as always drink responsibly.

Overall, I really enjoyed this location and I would recommend it for sure.

We went in for drinks only. I do not know about any food. The drinks were all good, the wife ended up with a beer and they even put an umbrella in it lol.
We had so much fun looking at the atmosphere and enjoying our drinks. Our server was awesome too.
I highly recommend checking them out.
