    Nice rooftop with cool vibe and fun music. Drinks were okay but the bartenders made it more fun and made up for the dull drinks. Maybe it was just what we ordered. I would give them a second chance.

    What an amazing evening! Two of my favorite things: A speakeasy, and a tiki bar. So a tikeasy!…read moreSure, it took a couple of tries, and maybe asking the wait staff at the Irish bar next door, where the tikeasy was hiding. You enter an immersive world that really outshines any tiki bar to which I've ever been. The magic radiates out of every nook and cranny. That was complimented by our bartender, Billy, knocking out some perfect killer classics, like a real Mai Tai, and Navy Grog, that, post the 1950s became kind of sugar filled, over-the-top mockeries of the Tiki cocktail arts. No mockery here. Just the old school magic. It's a very analog, and thankfully honest, unhipster revival for a generation who knows not of Bali Hai, Don the Beachcomber, the Mai Kai, and San Francisco's once-great, now seedy Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, at the Fairmont Hotel, on Nob Hill. The crowd, including the regulars, were a lot of fun. In all, a really awesome evening! Five stars, for all of that, and a sixth for the memories.

    Kaona Room is a special place. Every drink the staff makes comes with care and a little spark,…read moreoften arriving with a smoky effect that makes the moment feel magical. And best of all the staff is really excited and genuinely happy to bring the tiki experience to their customers. But, really, it's more than just a special place. It's the kind of spot that makes you happy it exists. The atmosphere transports you somewhere else entirely, where time slows down and every detail feels intentional.

    My husband and I have been coming to Mai Kai since we were kids and now bring our daughter there…read moreregularly. We recently had the pleasure of being served by Sasha at the Molokai Bar and she was outstanding. Even while training, she demonstrated a level of professionalism, attentiveness and kindness that truly stood out. Sasha's warm personality and genuine care for guests helped make our experience even more enjoyable. It's clear she has a natural talent for hospitality, and she is a wonderful addition to the Mai Kai team. We look forward to seeing her again!

    My family and I had a great time here!…read more I had the Roasted Lobster Bisque as an app. If there was lobster in it, they fooled me because there was no lobster meat and didn't taste like there was either. The chicken teriyaki bowl was excellent though! Very hearty portion of chicken and the teriyaki wasn't overly sweet. 4 of the ladies split the Mai-Kai BBQ Mix and it was plenty of food! The bbq meats were tender and flavorful. Not as big of fan of the puréed sweet potatoes, but everything else was good. The show was fun to watch while eating. You absolutely need reservations. The main floor seating is closer to the action, but I feel like we had a better view seated on the upper dining floor area. There's also a large outdoor bar area as well with decent happy hour specials only offered at the bar. Valet is available.

    Soo I came to this bar last weekend and again last night for a redemption. I will say that this…read moreexperience was better than the last. When I came last weekend the vibes were great, it was just extremely packed to the point that everyone was grinding up against each other. Which in that moment I didn't care because I figured it's at capacity and that's normal. Although, I realized when I was leaving the bar that someone had opened my purse and taken my entire wallet. I was bummed because I couldn't continue partying up the night. This led me to message them on Instagram, which was great because they told me to come in and drinks would be on them for the inconvenience. We got to the bar and I spoke with the bouncer and he said to go to the bartenders, that they would direct me to Rensel the bar manager. He was absolutely lovely, provided my friends and I a round of cocktails and told us to look for Sophia for another round. We didn't end up getting another round because we were exhausted from dancing the night away. It was still very nice and accommodating that they did that and we appreciated it. Sophia was very bubbly and attentive as well. Overall, if you are looking for a bar with a disco ball!! This is a cool spot to come to, they have so many different specialty cocktails. They are all delicious and unique! The music is great, the dj really keeps the crowd moving. For parking, there is a lot in the back of the establishment or street parking as well.

    This is a fantastic cocktail bar with a speakeasy feel. Nestled between Wynwood and the Design…read moreDistrict, the vibrant, retro atmosphere with its dim lighting is perfect for an after dinner night cap or to have a relaxing evening out. Loved the comfortable lounge like seating and scannable menus. The Sylvester has a great happy hour. Great cocktails, wine and beer choices. Looking at the menu, they have interesting cocktails. Seems like they put a spin on the traditional mixtures. Two that stood out to me were the whiskey sour and French martini. Delicious mixtures by bartender Robby. He was attentive and able to answer questions about their cocktail twist. Especially loved that he mentioned their 18% gratuity was already added to the check. We added a little something extra just for honesty :-D Overall loved The Sylvester. Great service, delicious drinks and in my opinion, perfect ambiance.

    I had heard a lot of great things about Bar Kaiju so I was excited to try it. It was a little…read moredifficult to find it because it's located on the Mezzanine floor of the building and the first floor is a food court. Once I found the elevator, Kaiju was clearly labeled there tho. The entire bar is dark and has cool red lights all around. We went to the bar to get seated and were led to an open table for our group. Our waiter immediately filled our water glasses and brought the menu. The menu is super cool because each drink is presented as a Pokémon card. There's a lot of info especially on how they compare to classic cocktails. Everything on the menu looked good so my friends and I got a bunch of different drinks. Some of my favorites were the Rodan, Guije, and the pandan drink (I forgot the name). The Michelangelo was also good but a little spirit forward for my taste. I'm excited to come back and try some more of the menu.

    Bar Kaiju was recommended to us by our server at Walrus Rodeo (great restaurant just 10-15 minutes…read moreaway, by the way). Her recommendation was spot-on because we really liked this place. This is a fun, trendy bar with delicious drinks and solid service. It's totally worth checking out. First, I love the theming. Kaiju is Japanese for "movie monster." Ever seen Pacific Rim (2013)? The logo looks like a rough outline of Godzilla. The menu is designed to look like Japanese monster (e.g., Pokemon) trading card books. Each cocktail has its own card art, stats, and tasting notes. Neat. And the vibe of the place is like - I don't know - Japanese neon Blade Runner. It's cool. The four of us got a variety of drinks and were welcomed to our table with complimentary shots. I had the Guije cocktail which cost $24 after tax and tip. Yes, that's the one thing about this place - the drinks aren't cheap. Tasting notes: "Guije is a savory, tropical, and funky cocktail featuring Chairman's Reserve Rum spiced with Mojo Criollo, offering hints of bay leaf, pepper and garlic. Along with fresh mango, lime, Maduro, to round out the robust yet tropical flavors." It was strong, refreshing, and fantastic. All of our drinks were presented beautifully too. My wife thought she left her wallet here. The next day, I DMed @bar_kaiju on Instagram and they got back to me in less than a couple hours. Whoever got back to me was responsive and kind. (Luckily, the wallet turned up elsewhere, but their help was appreciated.) Bar Kaiju is located on the 2nd floor (mezzanine level) of the Citadel food hall. It opened in December 2022. I found out after the fact that they were ranked #77 on the "North America's 50 Best Bars" extended list in 2025.
