    Tiki vibes
    Christina P.

    This bar has kick-ass playlists, great bartenders, excellent drinks and overall fantastic vibes. I'm still unsure how a place this cool found its way to Orinda, but I'm very glad it did. Planning on becoming a regular.

    This tiny tiki bar is so awesome!! Right next to the movie theater so a movie then drinks at this place are a great date night idea. Love the decor and the drinks were amazing

    Fun tiki atmosphere! Nice drinks

    Great place to visit after the Orinda theater or dinner at Casa Orinda Steakhouse. Good variety of tropical drinks. Fun decor. The downside would be the fact that we've been here for 20+ minutes and still haven't gotten our drinks. And there are empty seats. Bummer, the bartender admitted he forgot the drinks for our party of four. And we had already paid! UPDATE: We did finally get our drinks and they were good. I got the Saturn which was gin based and my boyfriend got the Mai Tai. As we were leaving the bartender apologized again and offered to comp our drinks but my boyfriend politely declined.

    This is a fully legit tiki bar, and worth traveling to for any tiki fanatic in the East Bay. Two of us sampled four the drinks off their menu and one was a winner. Their classic Matai was done just as it should be: with plenty of fresh momt, well balanced, and rich use of orgeat. The jungle bird was delicious, and presented with just the right amount of tiki kitch. Their version of a grog was richly spaced and served with an orchid flower on top. And finally we had a non-rum drink that combined rye, scotch, import into a sort of tiki old-fashioned. Also great ambience and music. Definitely seated my expectations

    This is a fun new place in Orinda! It's right next to the Orinda theater. The inside is small but they have done a great job on the decorations and it is a fun little place to hideout and step away for a little bit. All the cocktails my mom and sister and I got were delicious and they put a lot of fun garnishes in them. Service was friendly. We will be back

    Cozy tiki bar nestled next to the theatre in Orinda. Drinks are very strong, which is appreciated since some bars can be stingy with their pours. My favorite was the zombie, but I'm looking forward to trying a few other drinks from their menu on my next visit.

    Great addition to Orinda! Boo Loo Lounge is a tiki bar that just soft opened. There's not even a sign yet. It's just to the side of the Orinda Theatre, occupying the spot that the old Cine Cuvee wine bar used to occupy. Apparently the bar has been under renovation for about 1.5 years, through the latter part of COVID, and is just now getting ready to open. They're still waiting on the ingredients for their full menu but they have a fun and tasty more limited menu for now. We tried a Ruby Daquiri which was a daquiri with port. A little sweet and quite strong. Fun tiki decoration inside the lounge and very friendly staff. I'm looking forward to bringing friends and family back here! Finally a fun cocktail bar in Orinda!

    Amazing cocktail

    Really good vibes and great service ! Came on my anniversary and had a lot of fun and was a special time

    Grog, Singapore lady
    Marshall G.

    UPDATE: went back and had a great experience with Maxton behind the stick. My wife got the Singapore Lady and really liked it; I got the Grog and thought it was one of the most complexly layered drinks I've ever had! Be warned that it's very dry, but that's on purpose so I can't fault it. So glad to have a legit tiki bar in Lamorinda. Go check them out. You'll have a great time as long as one of their primary bartenders is working that night. Oh, and their Zombie is one of the best in California.

    Rum barrel - strong! A night ender.

    Bri took care of us on a Sunday afternoon. Incredible drinks and service. Only bar in the area that uses quality ingredients. The navy grog is 10/10, very complex and layered.

    Awesome sea urchin light fixture

It's a longtime local favorite of mine and my go-to spot for meeting up with friends--equal parts escape and comfort. The cocktail menu is impressively deep, full of beautifully crafted, fancy tiki drinks that practically beg to be explored, and so far every single one I've tried has been delicious (dangerously so). Inside, the bar nails the classic tiki vibe--warm, immersive, and transportive--while the outdoor patio offers a lovely, relaxed option with plenty of extra seating on warm days. It's the kind of place where you can linger, laugh, and lose track of time. The staff deserve a special shout-out: genuinely friendly, attentive, and accommodating, which only adds to the overall experience. A quick pro tip: if you're planning to stop by during popular after-work hours, definitely make a reservation--it fills up for good reason. The food menu is on the smaller side, but the bites are tasty and thoughtfully done, perfect for sharing alongside a round (or two) of cocktails. All in all, Forbidden Island is a standout spot that keeps me coming back again and again.

I came here with my brother and my sister-in-law for a drink after having dinner in the area. The people were friendly and helpful. We ordered a few of the tiki drinks. I got the banana hammock, lol. It was tasty and refreshing. Overall, great spot, and I hope to return in the near future. Parking on the street wasn't too hard to find. We parked about a block away in the residential area.
