Piña colada with passion fruit and Chili Lili.
Wendy W.

Summer's here, baby! (All the vibes without the temperature to match pleaaase.) The house cocktails are so inventive and intriguing, and they're almost too pretty to drink (keyword: almost). I loved my frozen piña colada with passion fruit, which arrived looking and tasting like a lightly boozy dessert. Delightful. My friend enjoyed her Chili Lili with cachaca, passion fruit, and togarashi. They also have a couple of booze-free drinks for the alcohol-adverse (me on most days). The P.O.P. with passion fruit, orange, and pineapple juice... yes please. It's a pretty small, chill spot. There weren't a ton of people when we went on a Thursday evening, so the limited seating wasn't really an issue, but just know that it's small. We're talking a couple of tables outside and maybe 5-6 seats inside, including the two in front of the bar.

Grabbed an outdoor table at this Tiki bar during the peak of the Delta variant wave in NY when many bars closed their indoor spaces. Though we felt like we were competing for sidewalk space with the heavily foot trafficked block we were on, the cocktails were good enough to whisk us and our taste buds away to greener pastures. In particular I really enjoyed the sweet potato cocktail with ube. Unlike many other ube cocktother ube cocktails I've had, this had true ube flavor, complete with a deep purple hue and salt rim that contrasted nicely with the marshmallowy flavor. The frozen passion fruit pina colada and Tamarind Dark n Stormy cocktails were also hits. The menu is short but the drinks pack a punch.

We had some time to kill before our dinner reservation and decided to stop for a few tiki drinks at Shaka Shaka Tiki. We had a few cocktails and a beer. My favorite of the house cocktails was Chili Lili (cachaca, passionfruit, seven spice togarashi, lime, orange bitters)! It is quite small - there's some inside seating as well as a couple of outside tables. It was a great place to sit and have a few drinks on a pretty evening. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

I want to move in here. I want to starfish in the middle of it. Cocktails are amazing, the plants are the vibes! I wish I live near by because I would be here everyday!

Great drinks! The most unique and tasty piña colada i've had. The music is good and the staff is super positive and friendly!

Inside

I consider myself super lucky to have lived around the corner from this tiny but mighty gem. Basically feels like you're in an intimate living room with plenty of lovely plants, macrame hangers, and of course drinks made with love. Have come on random weeknights and had the place to ourselves, also on fun lively nights like pregaming for NYE. The vibe is special on any occasion. Bartender/owner has an impressive rotation of Hawaiian shirts and awesome songs on the playlist to match. You won't be disappointed.

Flower Power and Chili Lili

Super cute hole in the wall to grab drinks with friends. We tried the Flower Power, Chili Lili and the Companion Negroni. All fantastic and well balanced. The music was also a total vibe. Highly recommend!!

Shaka Shaka Tiki is what Companion Cafe turns into after dark. It's run by Gary from Hawaii, and it's a pretty cool concept. Makes sense to turn a coffee shop into a bar at night. I wonder why everyone doesn't do it? The space used to be Bergen Dean Sandwich Shop (located across the street from the exterior of the Brooklyn Nine-Nine precinct. Not the largest space, but they have bar seating, and two tables. They have a daily juice special that they squeeze fresh. When we went, it was Granny Smith apple, kale, and ginger beer with gin as the mixer. It was SO GOOD. And also makes you feel like you're being healthy instead of a drunkard. Win/win! They also have a cool bathroom!

This place is one of my favorites! Super chill, delicious drinks, great staff. All of the cocktails are inventive and tasty -- pina colada is one of the best. Love coming here to get away from the crowds on Fulton.

Custom Mai Tai (was not on the menu that day, but they made it upon request!)

Had this place on my radar for a long time but was only recently able to go. Due to COVID, seating was outdoor, and it was quite the chilly day for tiki drinks. Just the same, the drinks were excellent and the staff extremely friendly. As it was surprisingly busy for a cold day, they brought out an additional table and chairs for us. Our socially-distanced fellow patrons were convivial and the bar seems to draw a pleasantly diverse crowd. If we lived closer, this would be our regular neighborhood bar, but maybe it could be yours!

Piña colada
Jiayan X.

I'm so glad we did moms night out at shaka shaka tiki tonight, the drinks were so delicious, the whole atmosphere were so dreamy which allow us to forget about all the stuff was going on for a second. :) I appreciate the music I heard some Chinese and Cantonese songs I really like, feels like home! Will come more often!

One of my favorite bars ever! What a cool place tucked away on the second floor of Gage & Tollner…read more Their menu is so fun with levels of intensity to them. We went on a Friday night with a party of 3 and did a walk in. That was a risky move and to our luck, the hostess was so sweet and squeezed us in as the last party of the night! This is a must visit when in downtown Brooklyn. We couldn't try the food since the kitchen closed and we were the last to enter but we were able to try 3 drinks and I recommend them all! 1. Donkey Conga ($22) Bourbon and aged cachaça centrifuged with Banana. Followed by Cynar & sweet vermouth. 2. Manta Ray ($22) Coconut cocktail of apricot, ginger, and mint. London dry gin & Haitian Rhum. 3. Star cycle ($18) Shakened milk washed gin, Jasmine, and grapefruit

The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

We had reserved a table outside and called in the morning and afternoon to confirm that we had the table. When we walked in, they tried to put us at the table that was in the room between the main area and the outside area. That room was extremely hot as instead of A/C, they had just 2 fans and also, we would have been bothered by people walking back and forth by us. After calling the manager, they have reluctantly agreed to sit us outside. I think what happened is they had a large party of 30 people outside and probably have given up one of the tables for it. Once we were seated, everything went well. I had coconut shrimp and split hanger steak main with my friends. It was 8 of us so everyone tried different things and loved them.

Tldr: felt very overproced for mediocre food…read more Ordered: Calamari Crab cakes Tuna Slider Shrimp Tacos In order from what I enjoyed: Calamari =slider, shrimp Tacos, and crab cakes ranked least by far The Crab cake sauce was not very good. It tasted watered down. The crab cakes were really soft, a bit too soft so they broke down completely while trying to split and eat. The shrimp taco . Kinda regular nothing special. Half the shell was crispy, other half soft. They were okay enjoyable but for it's price? Not again. Calamari as always is just a classic staple. Nothing to really say about it. It's just something you get whenever you see it on a menu for everyone to share.
