Woooo what an ambiance. Lovely place. Small but cute. Do reservations before you go otherwise getting a table will be difficult since it's always full. Loved their drink menu and many options. My favorite was Chi Chi. The side food was good to Guatemala with chips that were so fresh and the fries were very crispy. The service was not that great since . We asked for a spoon and they got us almost after an hour. Otherwise this place is a must go place.

Posted a review already. Just incase it didn't show I will do it again:)
My husband found this little place while I was on a travel nurse assignment. It is a fun and quirky place. Both indoor and outdoor seating, large variety of fun tiki drinks, small bites menu. They were setting up for a DJ. You can do a walk-in, but reservations are highly recommended.

Cute little bar in a residential area. If you drive by too quickly, you might miss it. I visited with a few friends on a Saturday evening and had a very nice time on the outside patio. I tried the chambolada and the rum barrel and one friend tried the hurricane. All of the drinks were good and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. I highly recommend reservations.

The drinks here are so delicious! We really enjoyed having a couple drinks here the other night. I would definitely recommend everyone to try it. I had the Forbidden Island signature cocktail and the Pina colada with almond liquor. Both were so flavorful and mixed so well!

We always have a great experience here. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the drinks are great! We particularly love the navy grog and the colada with macadamia nut liquor added.

One of the very oldest, original, tiki bars. Atmosphere for days. Amazing service. Drinks are stellar. Bar food is reasonably good and just the sort you'd expect. (Coconut shrimp, egg rolls, etc)

Love Forbidden Island! Such a hidden gem. The atmosphere is super fun and whimsical inside, and I can't wait to come back during hotter weather to sit out on their patio.

I love this place because their drinks are delicious, without compromising on the alcohol content. The Rum Barrel and Arrow in the Knee drinks are some of my favorites - super strong, but tasty also!

Very cool experience... Friendly staff. Great drinks. You need to have a Mai Tai and then a rum tasting flight.

We came here for drinks and enjoyed every second. The drinks were tall and delicious. They do serve food but I don't know what. Service was friendly and professional. Next time I'm getting some food!

This place has a great vibe. Pretty drinks, strong drinks, tasty drinks, I have no complaints. Great place to be with a fun atmosphere. The food is decent and very reasonably priced. I got fried coconut butter shrimp and mozzarella sticks which were good. Definitely a great place to check out with friends.

Very fun place!
Food would've rated a 5 however the drinks were not full, especially for the price.
Super fun tiki bar.
Yummy fried foods!

Very fun and wild place. Their drinks are awesome but their food is fair. Nice outdoor heaters cut the chill. Staff and servers were excellent. We were lucky to find street parking across the street. Highly recommend getting reservations!!!!! Their Monkeypod was the best drink we tried, yummy. Excellent selection of drinks. I can not wait until we can return.

Got here a little early on a Friday. The place filled up pretty quickly, but was nice an comfy for the first hour. Tables are on a 90 min turn time for 1-2, or 60 minutes for 3-4 during peak times. Strong merch program, wonderful drinks. Honestly my second favorite tiki bar in the Bay area of the 6 I visited. Definitely get the signature drink in signature mug. Having corn dogs was great fun. Large back patio and bar. Absolutely will be back.

We didn't have food, but the drinks, the ambiance, and the service was wonderful!
It was very busy, but space was made for us at a small bar near the door until a space became available at the bar. (Too chilly for us for outdoor seating that night)
I had a monkey pod and a rum barrel. The rum barrel was rated 5 skulls, and believe me, it was an appropriate rating!
Great tiki bar!

The Tiki Bar is well done, the atmosphere inside is easy going/great. Highly recommend mixed drinks offered there. The planet of the apes is a drink I like on a personal note but there's stuff for everyone. The food is okay, don't feel it's bad or anything but the drinks are what to go for. Definitely recommendable for a friends gathering or a date lol

I brought my dad here while he was visiting, and we had a fantastic time! The service was fantastic, cocktails on point, and the atmosphere was great. I do recommend making a reservation, and they will check your ID.
