VDecember 10, 2016If you like coconut you'll enjoy Chi Chi and Pina Colada. They have huge variety of drinks, which are not expensive at all. Also, try their Hawaiian chips with mango or pineapple salsa. So good!
- James OppedisanoAugust 19, 2012We now have a little something to eat with your drinks. Chips & Salsa Hawaiian Style - $5.25 Taro chips- Hawaiian original, or Sweet potato- delicious & great for dipping. Pineapple or Mango Salsa.
Meghan WelchMarch 18, 2016Try the flights to get a sense of what you like and the cute little wahine waitresses can take care of the rest and give you suggestions. The Kahlua colada is delicious, if not a little dangerous!
One of the best bars in Chicago & tiki bars in the USA. Serving zombies & mai tai’s since 1964 in a beautiful tropical interior. My fav drink is the Golden Zombie. Hala Kahiki means pineapple.
Michelle FoxAugust 4, 2013Amazing place! Bartender Jimmy is the best! Never had a drink I didn't like
I've been here twice, both times were awesome!! They don't serve food, eat before you go. The drinks sneak up on you. I had 3 Zombies, I didn't realize how intoxicated I was until I stood up lol
Katherine M.October 15, 2015Driving to the airport and want a pre-flight drink in one of America's most historical tiki bars? Check. Don't expect craft cocktails, though. This place is old school.
Gabby StupakJanuary 13, 2015I love all of the drinks here! Great place for hanging out with friends ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ
Lexi WAugust 23, 2016Tiki drinks are a great excuse to see old friends. Feels like you're actually in Hawaii.
Mike TareelapJune 9, 2013If you guys are into footfetish, the waitresses are full bloom flipflops. Ask for Sandy, she's got great toes... And the drinks are not bad either... ^__^
I recommend the Scorpion drink in a frozen pineapple. Awesome taste!- James OppedisanoSeptember 17, 2012We now have sweet potato chips and/or taro chips with mango or pineapple salsa. Give it a try next time you're in.
Pattraphorn ChaivisetJune 9, 2013Snow Goddess is my most favorite. It's like a coffee shake with whip cream.
The store is worth looking in, but the lady that works in it is seriously like a character from SNL. She will follow you around and not let you leave.
The few times I've been, they've watered down the drinks with a ton of ice - except for the last time. Go on a weekend.
- James OppedisanoAugust 19, 2012We will be running a Living Social deal this next weekend starting the 23rd. Don't forget to get yours.

- ALEKS KANCHEVAJuly 13, 2013The worst experience I have ever had. The employee and the owner had extremely rude attitude. Terrible service! Better save your money for a better place with friendly environment!
Steve RMay 28, 2012The service here sucks unless you sit right at the bar. Every time I come here I have to beg for a waitress. This place would be so much better with more efficient management.
Let's all have a drink , with great people have a Great Night
