    Great location to sit out and enjoy music or karaoke. Can't beat the evening sunset as boats go back and forth.

    Boat up window

    Okay hear me out lol I'm not really quite sure what scale to use to actually rate this establishment. It's in the middle of nowhere. It has a very interesting group of patrons that frequent this establishment. The bartenders seem a little rough and tough. I really can't explain it. Lots of shoeless people, people that have been up for days and a bit of a rough crowd but let's face it I had a blast. Most importantly it is literally right on the chain of lakes and it is very important to mention they have a boat up, drive through window! There's a first for everything. So funny. They cannot serve open containers but can give you a closed lid drink. The live music they offered seemed like they had a pretty good following. There were lots of people outside listening on the patio. Good vibe. Let's face it I would go back, I had a darn good time.

    Love Caribbean Bay! Boats can pull right up on the water and they have amazing entertainment on the patio. Always a good Sunday Funday! Highly recommend their famous Rum Runners- very delicious and strong for a frozen drink. They always have a very friendly crowd and the staff is really great. Even when they're busy (which is every time I've been) the servers are very attentive- but you can always go inside and order drinks directly from the bar. Cool Pool tables inside by the bathrooms. Just make sure you shut the front door behind you or guests will scream "shut the door" at you until it's shut. Diverse group of people- all persons welcome. Biker and smoker friendly, too.

    What a great stop after a great concert at The Ritz in Winter Haven. Reminded me of my hometown. It was open mike/ karaoke night. Everyone was having fun outside like Floridians do, I felt as if I knew everyone. My buddy Doug got me to try his favorite Miami Vice which did not disappoint. Great place to unwind abs listen to some music. Will definitely have to come back when there is a band.

    Stopped by on our way through Winter Haven. Pleasantly surprised by the ambience of the patio deck overlooking the water.

    Fun place! Nice tiki hut outdoors. Great service! No food, but it's nearby. It's a little off the beaten path, bring your own boat!

    Man I hate to do this but something has changed at Tiki. My wife and i have visited many many times…read moreand enjoyed the Tiki Hut tremendously. However our last two visits were not good. Last week we had drinks and I ordered a Margarita less OJ like I always do. It was straight sour mix on ice. Verified by 2 people at the table. I told the server that I think they forgot the tequila. She came back with the same drink and said the bar said "its because I skipped the OJ" ?? Well that would make it taste like sour and OJ wouldnt it? It still wouldnt taste like Tequila because there was none in it. Tje poor server agreed with me and apologized. She also said management will not let them freepour anymore and they are mandated to use jiggers. She said there had been several complaints about drink quality. I left the full drink , minus 3 tastings , on the table. Not only didnt they remake it, they charged me for it. Fast forward a week and we had friends visiting so we took the to the tiki to eat lunch. Everyone had mahi , 2 fried, one blackened. The blackened dish was cut up like french fries and drier than dirt. No one ate it. The fried plates were terribly fishy. I eat fresh mahi routinely and this wasnt fresh by any means. Im afraid we are going to have to find somewhere else to visit. There just aint much good around there anymore but the views, the music and the conch fritters ( but even they werent that great last time)

    So I am slightly confused. I already did a review for Port 27, I guess this is a new page. To be…read moreclear, Port 27 is a venue which has a brewery with its namesake Port 27. There in lies some of the confusion on my part because my last review I guess was for the brewery and not the venue, but I kinda reviewed it in its entirety. So here I go again. Port 27 is a lakeside destination with iconic views, good eats, a great brewery and eclectic shops. I have been here more times than I can count. It is quite convenient as it is less than a 5 minute drive from my house. And the bike ride isn't bad either on a Sunday when it's not too hot. So I have been here in the evening on the weekend with live music. They host events like runs, and there is even a comedy show. Port 27 is both kid friendly, and pet friendly. There are plenty of places to sit and there is a kind of kids area as well. Most of the major events are hosted on the outside stage. The shops: Antica Trattoria has some of the best pizza in Florida. It is popular and stays packed, yet they get the pizza out pretty quickly. There is a fair amount of seating inside. And, there are places throughout Port 27 to leave your pizza boxes when you are done. Van de Walle has great coffee and awesome desserts and the staff and service are on par with the coffee and desserts. They roast their own beans in house and make all of the desserts in house. You can purchase their coffee and theybwill grind it for you to your preference. Port 27 the brewery is a bit cloistered and on a busy evening or the weekends, the lines can be a little much. But the wait is well worth it because the beer is quite awesome. The servers are passionate about the beer and you can get samples, but when it is super busy you should just jump in to respect the patrons behind you. There are also burgers, tacos, ice cream, arts and crafts, candles and a shop that has vinyl records. Every time I go it is always a new adventure and somehow I never get bored. If you are in Polk County Florida and looking for something to occupy the whole family, Port 27 is a great option. But don't take my word, see it for yourself.

The bartender gave us some pointers and then gave us a minute to decide. A sample or two then decisions were made. The IPA was delicious and my wife got a cocktail that was gone pretty quickly. Use the QR codes to order food. They bring it to you from the various spots around the property. Nachos came first. Ask for two sets of silverware and extra napkins. You will need them. It was really good but really messy. I was hungry when we ordered. Should have waited. The nachos filled us. That bruschetta was taken home and devoured while watching a movie. Great friendly bartender. Nice quiet atmosphere with lots of conversations going on around us. We're coming back when the weather is better.

Every detail, from the decor to the lighting, creates an immersive atmosphere that leave you in awe. As someone who actively seeks out tiki bars wherever I travel just so I can experience and review them, i can say they nailed the ambiance. The cocktails were well crafted but leaned much heavier on warm baking spices than my personal preference and I tried quite a few. I tend to prefer creamier, fruit forward tiki drinks with just ahint of spice, so while they werent my favorite style, thats a matter of taste rather than quality. The person i visited with loved their drink, which reinforces my previous comments. The real surprise of the evening was the food. it was outstanding, far better than i expected from a tiki lounge. The dish was flavorful, well prepared and easily worth the visit on its own. Overall, the experience delivered exactly what a great tiki bar should, an incredible atmosphere, quality drinks, and good food. Even though the cocktails werent perfectly suited to my palate, Id recommend stopping in if youre a fan of tiki culture.
