Best pool table in Oakland. Excellent hosts, great vibes, and never a bad time. Get the macadamia chi chi, watch the A's and sit a while.- Daniel LazzariApril 1, 2018The deco is fantastic and the bartenders are lots of fun, but what really keeps us coming back is the macadamia nut chi chi. The scorpion bowl has a lit volcano in the middle, which is awesome.
Adrian PhillipsOctober 9, 2016Come for the scenery and stay for the tasty cocktails. If you don't like sweet drinks, skip anything you feel is sweet (cause it will be). Drinks are boozy and well priced. Great for groups of people
A nice bar with great atmosphere. The place is small so it gets crowded quickly. Busy nights they really need to get another bartender on deck. But their drinks are fairly priced and strong.
Krista marie ImusOctober 25, 2016My favorite tiki bar in the Bay Area. Oversized connect 4. Comfy lounge chairs. Yummy drinks (sometimes too sweet) but still get the job done.
BommyNovember 6, 2017Most cocktails are too sweet so ask the bartender for a recommendation. Busy but not too crowded or loud on a saturday night. Just the right amount of liveliness.
Brian StraussAugust 28, 2018Do you like sweet-ass, strong, drinks made from rum with little umbrellas, served to a room full of twenty 22 years olds? Yeah? It’s all yours!- Scott RocherJuly 5, 2015Like a boozy coconut milkshake, the Chi Chi is the thing to get. Don't fight it.
Great music, drinks and atmosphere. Totally different than other East Bay bars. Can get busy on weekends!
Frank KimAugust 11, 2014Sweet pool table and just awesome tropical themed cocktails here. Has become a neighborhood staple for me.
Jacqueline PalmerAugust 15, 2011My favorite bar in all of the bay area! Great place to bring a small group. Macadamia nut chi-chis are so scrumptious!
Sailing Spoken HereDecember 6, 2010Cool slice of paradise in Oakland for anyone in the mood for tiki. Great cocktail list and don't miss the erupting volcano!
Timothy KempfFebruary 22, 2015For some reason they only have 2 bartenders on a Saturday night. You'll end up spending more time standing in line giving the stink eye to the person next to you than actually drinking.
Gabriel RooneyApril 23, 2013They open at two (1400) if your day is going really great or really shitty.
- One of the most difficult bars to get a drink at on a busy night. Exercise patience.
Tim HarrisonFebruary 13, 2016A supremely mediocre tiki bar. Also, weirdly, almost no cell reception inside.

"A Black and Tan with all toasted almond is a great to share treat"

"Wow I really love this place. The vibe is fun! I wish that you could drink in their outdoor seating area, however. The bar can get a bit crowded and loud. The drinks are a bit pricy but worth it."
Amanda Moreland - 8.6
"The onion rings are amazing!!!!!"
