The cocktails are damn good, and the seafood options straight from St Pauls Fish Co are fresh and delicious. Popped in a Monday night to meet a girlfiend and somehow managed two seats at the bar. The bartender was super duper nice and attentive, the twinkle lights were twinkling, the beachy atmosphere was there. A fun little escape in the dead of winter! Big fan of their margaritas, that's definitely a go-to. Had the paloma this time though (aka grapefruit marg), and really liked it. They make their mixings all in house which I SO appreciate. Fresh-squeezed lime juice is 10000x better than any random pre-mix. Tiki stands true as a great Milwaukee rec!

Ya see, the thing about tiki drinks is that they take a minute to make, cost a bit extra, and I drink them far too quickly. So unless you're ready to fight me up the stairs for a spot, just avoid this place. The barkeep is rad, they're usually carving a new tiki piece when open, and the menu has like 20 choices.. If you do come here, you will enjoy it. If you don't, that's fine too because I'm trying to keep this place all to my self.

Our drinks were solid I had the Painkiller, and my husband had the Love Potion. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the TVs displaying live online poker really detracted from the ambiance. We really enjoy tiki bars for the drinks and the escapism, and it was just way too hard, actually impossible, to forget we were sitting in a Midwestern bar in the middle of winter. We will probably give it another chance, when it's not the grand re-opening, but based on that first experience, really nothing to write home about.

Jenneca, the bartender who served us the entire time, made sure of that. Not only did she give us great service, but she made us feel like we were part of her community. She spoke to us like we were family and made two Angelenos feel like this was home. I truly did not know what to expect being out here, but I felt like I didn't want to leave. Jenneca was exceptional -- not only in her way of speaking to people, but also made lovely drinks. If I could move to Milwaukee now, I would, solely because I found a community in a place away from home, and that is so difficult to find.

Once inside, the friendly host staff will ask you for the password. Heck, if I can figure it out, anyone can. Then we were shown to the table. The ambiance is certainly 80's feeling with the music and the relics of the era. Even though the menu is limited, the restaurant still offers great options. Riley, server, had greet us shortly after arriving. My friend order an Old Fashion (when you're in WI...) and I had ordered the Shamrock Shake with a shot of whiskey (we visited Milwaukee near St. Paddy's Day). Both of us ordered the Fish Fry. The drinks were delivered within a few minutes. The Shamrock Shake was certainly well worth it. Then few more minutes, the entrees were delivered. The three pieces of fish were very meaty and great crust. The well seasoned fries were very tasty. Riley had checked in couple of times with us. Great service, great food and great 80's music. Enjoy!!

It's kind of tucked into a corner lot so it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Trader Nick's has a wide variety of rum Tiki drinks. I'm not much of a rum drinker, but the owner ran through my drink options without my needing to ask - including a couple of vodka, gin, and Bourbon drinks on the menu. I had a Bourbon Sling and it was very tasty. My drink - with a pretty hefty tip - was around $12 - pretty reasonable, in my opinion. The owner is so nice and helpful! He checked in on our group a few times, and thanked us for visiting more than once as we left. He seemed genuinely interested in whether we had a good experience. One of the two resident dogs was cute, but he didn't seem to like me very much. I got a little growl and bark - yikes. The only thing I think could be improved is the addition of food, or at least some snacks. Especially since most of the drinks are liquor based, it would be helpful to have some food with the drinks.

If that doesn't make you feel at home I'm not sure what will. Nick knows Rum. Let me say this again. Nick knows Rum. He will make you a cocktail that's perfect and delicious and tell you its story. Yes. This is a tiki bar. So there are sweet options, but if that's not your thing tell your barkeep. They know what cocktails to make you. Did I mention how adorable this bar is? They have an impeccable tiki glass collection. Lots of local wood art work and all the tiki vibes. You can have a beer too if you are not in the cocktail mood. They even bring a Hawaiian beer to the list. If you want high class cocktails that don't have all the hoity toity, but all the flavor then get in here. Some nights they have live music too.

The mashed potatoes, while they were creamy, I did notice a bit of sour cream in them and since I'm not a big fan of sour cream, it just tasted like the sour cream just over powered the taste of the potatoes. I just know next time I'll see if they can do an order without sour cream and if not, I'll order fries. They have live music on Saturdays, and the musician did covers of Billy Joel, which was good. We've never had a bad experience with either their host staff or server, and our server Chloe did a great job!!
