    This little bar is okay and has a fun, laid-back vibe. It could use a little cleaning and maybe a refresh on the smell, but that might just be part of the aesthetic with the dim lighting and little luau feel. The drinks were yummy and nothing too fancy, which fit the atmosphere well. We sat at the bar and were served immediately. The drinks were strong, and I don't recall seeing a food menu since we only had drinks. It felt like a dim tiki hut in the best way. I'd probably stop in again while bar hopping, but it wouldn't be my first thought for a destination visit.

    Missionary's Downfall

    My friends and I came here after work on friday to enjoy happy hour. They had really good deals from open - 7pm! We decided to sit outside and enjoy the sunlight/ fresh air. Our server greeted us within 5 minutes of us sitting down and our drinks arrived shortly after. We really enjoyed the coconut shrimp and wings. The coconut shrimp was our favorite!! I'm not a big rum person but the Missionary's Downfall was so tasty.

    Grabbed dinner with a buddy and wanted to grab a couple drinks after. Dr Funks is a great place to grab a drink and just chill with some great tiki vibes. Both indoor and outdoor seating were wide open on a Tuesday night and the bartender had even recognized us (not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing ha.) will definitely keep coming back

    Dr. Funk had a super cute Galentine's/Lunar New Year theme when I went with pretty pink string lights and hanging hearts and lanterns. Their happy hour is great and lasts until 7 PM, chicken wings for $12, macho fries for $9, Shipwreck drink for $12. I got the Jaded Lover ($19), special LNY drink, and it had pandan and tasted very good. Would definitely like to return for their next seasonal event.

    So funny I've been to the bar next-door a handful of times and always wondered what this restaurant was! Lol my friend told me about this place and I had to come check out the specialty Halloween drinks!! They are so incredibly strong you can only have two per person! If you get there for a happy hour, it's a much better deal!! We are lucky it was a Friday night and we got there in time for happy hour and got a drink for a normal price! Lol inflation sucks! We both enjoyed our drinks along with the atmosphere and the french fries were hot and crispy! I will definitely go back again and get another holiday specialty drink. Apparently they do every celebration with specialty seasonal drinks!! This particular Tiki bar was doing a circus or clown themed Halloween! Also check out the karaoke bar next-door at old Flats, O'Flaherty's.

    We had our double date night here last Sunday, and it was fun! I loved how they decorated for Halloween with the clowns decor. I was scared when I first walked into the place because of the clown animatronic, but quickly laughed afterwards. We sat in a booth, which was cute. My boyfriend and I got the Puka Punch, Shipwreck, Lychee Luau, and Nachos Fries. The drinks were strong. My favorite was the Shipwreck and Puka Punch The Nachos Fries were tasty, crunchy and flavorful. I'm glad that I got to finally visit this spot as I had it bookmarked for awhile. The staff is friendly and attentive. The bathroom was clean and shared with the next door establishment. We found parking on the street about two blocks away. I would definitely return again. :)

    Stumbled upon this spot looking to have some drinks before dinner reservations. A full tiki bar, it was good vibes when as soon as we walked in. There are some serious drinks on the menu. The number of Xs next to each cocktails provides the booze level. I ordered a couple of drinks but stared with the signature rum cocktail, the Funky Grog, it's XXX, deserving of that rating. Also enjoyed the Puka Pinch and Rum Barrell. Semi crowded around 6pm on a Friday that quickly packed out by 8pm. My coworkers and I had a blast. The staff folks are super cool, the decor is fitting and the atmosphere was social.

    Definitely a cool spot to visit for the holidays! I first heard about Dr. Funk on a viral TikTok last year around Christmas time. I finally got around to visiting for their Halloween set up this past weekend. When we arrived it was nice to see the front of the Dr.Funk bar is covered in full colorful bright lights. Love it! It definitely stands out in a sea of dark restaurants + bars at night. lol. When we walked in we were greeted by the Killer Clowns! Yikes super creepy! But definitely cool Halloween vibes. lol. Their Halloween theme is the Killer Klowns from Outer space (apparently it's a movie from like the 80s or something but still spooky!) lol. The Halloween decorations are spooky Halloween clown vibes so it features life size scary clowns, giant popcorns, spider webs, circus stripes, and bright lights all over. Pretty cool. We wanted to check out the options on the Killer Klowns Halloween menu. We ordered the Cotton Candy Cocoon from the Halloween menu and the drink that goes on fire (I forget what it's called) as well as the Lychee Luau. The Cotton Candy Cocoon was interesting, but not very sweet at all tbh. lol. The only sweetness in the drink is the cotton candy on top. lol. The fire drink obviously looks the COOLEST but that was also my friend's favorite drink choice as far as taste goes! So I would definitely recommend that one. My favorite drink was the Lychee Luau because I'm a vodka + juice kinda girl so it was PERFECT for me. Yay! We had a lot of fun just trying different drinks and talking. I love how it's easy to talk here with chill vibes and they apparently have karaoke in the other room as well. I only learned this because we could hear the drunk singing party lol. Also I've never been here before but the lady told us that it is open seating and to pick any table we wanted. We grabbed a table in the middle but we would've liked a cute booth with the lights! but they were all filled up unfortunately. *sad face* No worries though we still had a fun time. :) This is definitely a fun holiday theme bar if you're looking for someplace spooky or even for when Christmas comes around to go be merry. :) Around last call they use a large LOUD bell to bang on to scare everyone which alarmed us so yeah that was NOT the vibe! lol. But I totally get it so whatever. lol.

    Stopped in for drinks on a Friday and we were able to grab a seat at the bar. Chaz was so helpful and friendly. I'm a vodka girlie and he was able to make the Zero's Hero with vodka for me. So good! Love the Christmas vibes that they have going on right now.

    I am a huge sucker for tiki bars and Dr. Funk did not disappoint. I've been here a few times previously and I just love it every time. The drinks are typical for tiki bar drinks in this area, so be prepared to pay for a little bit more for some delicious, beautiful drinks. The fries and finger foods are delicious too! This time around, we shared the Puka Punch amongst 3 people, which was great. I love the little fire art show. I also love that they decorate up the shop during Halloween and Christmas time. One thing I'll note is that in the years since, it feels like they've gotten really short-staffed. This really is a problem for management and the owners, not the workers themselves. Despite this, the employees are always attentive and kind. Lastly, they do have happy hour! At least since May time, on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4-7 pm, exception for SAP nights. (WEBSITE as of 7/14/25 shows daily HH from open to 7 pm) Service: 4/5 Food/Drinks: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 5/5

    Review of Nightmare Before Christmas bar during Christmas time: My husband had an entire drink spilt on his lap and we weren't offered an apology. My husband and I came for date night, we wanted to grab a themed cocktail before walking around Christmas in the Park. Really unclear seating. The bar was full and when we asked to sit at one of the many open tables we were told to check with the host, which we didn't initially see. We got seated and ordered our drink, the worms wort and deadly night shade. Both drinks were honestly not very good and did not taste as described. When initially being brought our drinks the runner placed them on the table and pushed it towards my husband causing the entire cup to fall in his lap. The runner simply gave an oops and walked over to the bar to grab rags. My husband had to ask her for one to wipe himself up. We asked to move to another open table since there was a big puddle of alcohol on the floor and the table and chair was sticky. She said she didnt know and she would have to ask. She went back to the bar and came back a few minutes later to tell us we could move. Mind you my husband is still wet and standing next to his seat. We moved and he was brought a new drink, I asked the server for napkins because he was still wet and she said "didn't he already get one?" ??? Odd response. Anyway we were offered no apology and never got checked on. Date night was cut short. And my husband's Christmas sweater got stained. Overall really bad experience. The decor was cute but nothing crazy. Drinks are overpriced and service is not good.

    This was a creamy Christmas drink I forgot what it's called

    So fun when they turn this into a Christmas bar!! Loved all the Christmas drinks and the decor! If you're Christmas bar hopping, make sure to stop here! The bar tender Chaz is so attentive and friendly and made such yummy drinks!!

    Came here tonight with my wife for happy hour. Lucky to be here for The Nightmare Before Christmas theme this month. Really dig the decor! Had the Deadly Night Shade which was great. My wife ordered the Mai Tai which is super close (if not spot on for Trader Vic's). Had both wings and nacho fries which were great! Got a second drink (Puka Punch) from HH menu. It was good. Service was great as usual. One draw back: No military discount . I will be back though!

    Are they now closed Mondays? We stopped by last Monday and all was dark. Website says 7 days a week. The door was locked.

    It can look closed from the outside. The inside is on the dark side.

    When is happy hour?

    Monday - Thursday from 4pm to 7pm, excluding SAP events nights.

    Can I take a 1 1/2 year old to this amazing restaurant on Saturday at opening time? Only an hour or two? He will be with mom, pops and grand parents. 🙏

    Showed up at 5:30pm and wanted to sit outside with my 15 month old and was told it was 21+ only but I've seen other parents with strollers having drinks outside on multiple occasions.

    Is it 21+ still, now that you serve food?

    Dr. Funk is a 21 & up establishment.

    Outside seating open?

    I was there a week ago and there was outdoor seating with heat lamps.

I remember old tiki bars back in the day in the 50s when I first remembered hearing about him and the 60s when they were still popular. But as time went on and people change, they kind of disappeared, but this one popped up. And I'm so glad it did because it brought back fond memories of what it used to be. When you walk into the place, it's unlike anybody you're gonna walk into there are one dollar bill stuck to every square inch of the ceiling. Smoking is only allowed outside, so the room was pretty clear because as you walk in it is small, but there's plenty of room at the bar and there are a couple little hutches that you can sit in as well as an area around the corner, but the big surprise is outside. When we walked outside, there was like a 10 foot tiki head out there and it was a flash throwback to the old days. It was so much fun to see. The bar serves drinks that are long forgotten and most bars, and they served them with flair. Everybody from the minute I walked in the front door was awesome. They were smiling, attentive, helpful, and making sure that you got exactly what you wanted and the perfect experience. I even had a moment to talk to the owner and tell him how impressed I was by the staff and the fun that the place brought. I would say I will absolutely be glad to return to this place anytime. The quality that drinks is absolutely five star. The flavors were spot on. And the throwback atmosphere was perfect. I strongly recommended for anybody that wants to go out for an evening of fun and frolic. When they close the back where the outdoor seating is a little bit earlier than the regular bar hours it does get a bit crowded on the inside because so many people are there that you didn't see originally. But that didn't change it. We still had maximum fun.

I wasn't as much as dinner for two at Atelier Crenn or French Laundry, but for me to treat 4 people to a fun night out, it was definitely up there. The Tonga Room is located in Nob Hill inside the gorgeous Fairmont Hotel. You head downstairs and you are transported to a tropical paradise. You can choose to sit at the bar or reserve a table where you will be charged $20 per person for entertainment. The entertainment is WELL worth it. The Island Groove will keep you jamming and dancing and laughing all evening. They do take small intermissions, so save your conversations for then. The band is definitely the highlight here. We had lots of yummy drinks and a plethora of dishes on our last visit. I tried the Wiki Wiki, Dark & Foggy, Fair Fashioned, and ordered a few Manhattans and Maker Marks as well. The drinks are good and they definitely help get you into the vibe! I also sampled the Luau bites, mushroom fried rice, kalua pork and spicy basil chicken. The food was ok. There was a unique sauce that accompanied the plantain chips I ordered but it's a big order so unless you're sharing with the table, I don't recommend it and the sauce portion needs to be much bigger. There was a woman at the table next to us who had a dog that was definitely not a service dog and I have no issue with that. As a matter of fact, I checked prior to coming to see if they were dog friendly hoping I could bring my small dog and I was told they are not. However it seems to be at the discretion of staff on duty so I would double check if you want to bring your dog. Honestly it was a bit loud and rowdy anyway so I'm glad she was safe and cared for at home. I really liked how attentive the staff were. They checked on us regularly and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. When people from the bar tried to come sit at empty tables at the end of the evening, staff were very good about shooing them back to bar area as you pay a premium for the tables and the view from them. It's an enjoyable experience and I will definitely be back again, although I may just enjoy the bar and the dance floor next time.

The cocktail menu is inspired by records, and you can feel the creativity in every sip. These aren't your standard bar pours -- they're clearly thought out and crafted with personality. If you're someone who appreciates a drink with a story behind it, you'll be in your element here. The live DJ on weekends takes the whole experience to another level. The music isn't background noise -- it's part of the atmosphere, and it hits right. What makes this place truly special is that you're getting two completely different vibes under one roof.

Alter Ego is a proper intimate lounge with their full bar, and it feels like a world away from the street outside. The transition between the two spaces is surprisingly seamless and genuinely fun to experience. And they're open late, which puts them in a rare category of places actually worth staying out for.
