We recently found this neighborhood gem, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots in the…read morecity. The neighborhood feel is exactly what we've been looking for. Welcoming, comfortable, and the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular. Everything we've tried has been excellent. Our go-to order has been the wings and the chicken Caesar salad, which are both consistently delicious. But today we tried the Shia LaBuffalo Bowl, and WOW it was absolutely incredible. And honestly, the name alone deserves bonus points. So clever! We cannot wait to try the rest of their menu, EVERYTHING sounds delicious. We have to give a huge shoutout to Katie behind the bar. She makes us feel at home every single time we visit. She's warm, friendly, funny, and an exceptional bartender. I'm pretty particular about an Aperol Spritz, and Katie makes my favorite spritz in the city. She also makes an amazing mango margarita and a fantastic spicy watermelon marg. Great food, amazing drinks, and the kind of hospitality that keeps you coming back. We absolutely love this place and highly recommend checking it out. You won't be disappointed!

The food is solid and made to order. Seems like they get a fair amount of take out as well. I miss the tots which seem to be off the menu. Cheese Curds are Illinois good. They pour a proper Guinness and saw a few black and tans as well. Outside of st Patrick day it is interesting to see. Good crowd, great staff. Pass on the chicken sandwich.

Disappointed and Uncomfortable Experience! I stopped by this…read moreplace hoping for a good meal and chill vibes before heading out to a super bowl party but what I experienced was anything but welcome.

Hala Kahiki is a tiki bar staple in the Chicago Suburbs! The inside is much larger than I expected…read morewith a huge bar area, covered outdoor patio, and at least two other indoor seating areas. I love that as soon as you enter, you are transported to a tropical oasis that is dark and moody. I visited with a larger group so we made a reservation before. One pays $5 per person in your group and the amount is later applied to your bill. The food menu is minimal and most items weren't available sadly. We got two orders of their pineapple salsa with taro chips. It was yummy but wasn't enough substance to match the drink levels. For drinks, our group got a wide variety. They have all sorts of flavor pairings to accommodate every guest. I got the Captain's Revenge after hearing the Pearl Diver was unavailable. It was good but not amazing. For my second drink, I got the Chocolate Banana Old Fashioned which I thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't hear anyone in our group be disappointed with what they ordered. Our server, Jazmine, was very knowledgable about the menu and asking the right questions to make sure what we each ordered would be something we liked. Overall, this was a fun experience and I am happy I finally got to visit! My experience was slightly tainted with how much was not available the night we visited.

I love that this place has little bit of Mexican food mixed with some Polish and American. For me the service is great, because I think when I'm at a bar, I like when I'm not interrupted every 10 min. I also don't mind going to the bar and placing an order if the bartender/server is not around. The place is very cute and well kept, I love all the decorations and it does feel like an upscale bar without the upscale prices. In the summer, the patio is a great addition.

Street parking was easy to find which is a plus. Its walk-ins only but my party of 6 were able to get a table no problem on a Friday night. To drink, I started with the Oolong Martinez. It was good but way too strong for me so I just gave it to my husband lol. I opted for the Kiss & Tell instead except I asked for no mezcal. Much lighter and refreshing! I believe they have a downstairs lounge called "Nightshade" which serves their own special menu. My goal is to go downstairs next time! Their food is GAS!!! Everything I ate was a 5/5 for me - especially the party fries and the moon burger. We got the deviled eggs and funeral potatoes for the table and I was blown away (both of these menu items rotate flavors monthly). Also FYI - They have a photobooth!!!! I love photobooths!
