    Tiki selfie (the Tiki God is on the right!)
    Paul K.

    Gotta love a good Tiki Bar! We had an hour to kill before an appointment so we Yelped unique bars in the area and found The Monkey's Paw in Springfield. The profile looked pretty cool so we decided to go there for a drink. Once inside, it was pretty dark which is typical for a Tiki Bar. The decor was very good and there was a lot of it around. My fave was the mermaid skeleton above our seats. The drinks options were plentiful and they even had jello shots for a bargain price (we had a few of these for good measure!). I had The Monkey's Paw classic drink and another in our party had The Invisible Man drink. Each was lovingly prepared by the bartender who was super cool with the prep and conversations we had with him. I loved walking around and looking at all the decor on the walls and ceiling. There's a lot to see. There's even a door that leads to a courtyard with several food trucks ready to serve you. There is a stage near the entrance for bands and a small dance floor. I would love to return one evening to check out the atmosphere and do a little boogeying! Give this place a try. It's a well done Tiki Bar and one of the better ones I've been to.

    Finally stopped in after passing by so many times we went to The Monkeys Paw Bar unplanned with my family last night visiting Eugene and it was happening inside love the tiki ambiance I ordered a painkiller, got situated in front facing the Small stage waited patiently for headliner band Jenny Don't & the Spurs played for 1 1/2 hrs as we all danced and rocked on. Purchased 2 T-shirts & a poster, Very cool as I got to meet jenny and bass player An awesome & unforgettable time we all had as it was unplanned. Will be back again! Thank you so much!

    Very cool tiki bar! Super dark inside, I thought my eyes would never adjust. Surprisingly they did, LOL. They have a cool selection of drinks, all were delicious. Service was pretty good.

    Visited many times. Great spot to go for a tropical fruity adventure. Never had a bad drink from here. Friendly service is consistent. The decor is unique and unmatched. Great for groups. Tables, booths and bar seating available. Food trucks right outside if you're hungry.

    I love tiki bars and this one fits the vibe with a cool twist. Loved monkey paw from the moment I stepped in. Plenty of seating, food trucks right outside with more seating, a pool table, and fun classic horror movie references throughout the decor and menu. Drinks were also yummy and fun to try! Like most tiki bars, the drinks were on the sweet side, but the bartender was very accommodating in making the drinks a little less sweet when I asked.

    Monkey's Paw Tiki Bar is a nice, chill spot to hang out and relax. They've got a great outdoor setup with a good variety of food trucks out back, so there's always something new to try. The atmosphere is laid-back and fun, and the drinks are top notch. I went for my wife's birthday and they gave her a really cool birthday drink for free, which was a great touch! Definitely a place I'll be coming back to.

    So much more to rum than what you learned in college.

    Stepping into the Monkey's Paw gave me the mini getaway I was craving. The decor was traditional tiki filled with fun pieces that were definitely collected with admiration. From the carved koa wood to fun lamps and vintage floats, this place is a stunning eye pleaser. The barkeep was top-notch. Warm and inviting. He made perfect tiki drinks. His knowledge of rum was thrilling. Ask to read the book about rum flights. They put together an array of fun information that will increase your thirst for rum. I tend to judge tiki bars on their Mai Tai, and their take on the classic Trader Vics did not disappoint. What a perfect blend of rums and house made orgeat. That's how you know you found your tiki place. Some nights they have live music, so you can get down to some pulp fiction surf classics. There are food trucks outside that you can bring in something to nosh. I can't wait to go back. You'll find a cozy corner to fall in love. What are y'all waiting for? Get in here.

    Always a great place to go. Jamie was amazing! She has created a custom drink just for me that was the simply fantastic. Food trucks next door that are worth the stop.

    Fun little fish tank in one of the seating areas.

    This was a fun, chill place to grab a pre-dinner drink on our anniversary date. The bartender was very friendly and welcoming when we said it was our first time visiting. And we had the place to ourselves at 5 o'clock on a Monday. The cocktails are great and a little more affordable than what other places charge for a cocktail these days. I went with the 'painkiller' and I would order it again. We also opted for some nachos from Squachos and it was a great pairing with our drinks. I would visit here again for a pre-dinner cocktail or for a night out with friends.

    I am a fan of Tiki bars and this place did not disappoint. I read about this place in the traveler's magazine and am so glad to visit this place. The place brings you into a different world from Main Street Springfield. This place does not serve food, but has food trucks outside its building. The drinks are great and has reasonable prices. Our bar tender was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Please come and visit this place the next time you are in the Springfield/Eugene area.

    Love the way it is decorated, the variety of comfortable seating, and the drink selection of alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks. Very different from any other bar in the area. Service was pretty slow but it was a Friday night during a busy time.

    This place was amazing. Took my son here for his 36th birthday. They have a flaming birthday drink they bring out that was enough for the 4 of us . Atmosphere was so much fun and ghoulish. Drinks were good and the customer service was amazing. Will definitely be back

And check this out they had cloth napkins even, nice touch... ;) Their food: I had a burger with tots, the burger I thought was a bit dry but good flavor and the tots were cooked just right. The place was very clean, swept up and happy. The background music was a mix of Marty Robbins, Tennessee Ernie Ford and others from that era. Bathroom was nice and clean and well stocked. There was a gal there, maybe the owner or something, she saw the "Vietnam Vet" patch I was wearing and bought me a beer and thanked me for my service... Very sweet of her I thought. Thanks for a great lunch, folks, I will be back!

He hasn't quite nailed consistency yet, but it's clear he's trying. After my original experience, I wasn't sure I wanted to return. But I happened to see him advertising for a new chef not too long after, and I figured that was a good time to try again. I still love that he supports other small businesses, like the butcher shop next door, the bakery across the street, and my favorite brewery in Corvallis as well. Nothing makes me happier than seeing small business supporting each other. I have a complete love affair with their tacos every Tuesday, and my inner fat kid craves them constantly. Friday, my husband and I went in for the prime rib special. It is a 12 ounce prime rib, baked potato, and chowder or salad for $25. We also enjoyed an amazing beer from Block 15, which is like my favorite brewery ever. Service is great, I've never had a complaint there. The owner is always there working, everybody working works. The owner and chef both bring food out if the bartender is busy. It's clear nothing sits and waits. Everything is everyone's job, and I have huge respect for that. I am really glad I decided to give Twisted Duck another try, because every experience gets better and better, and I'm always happy to see a small business growing and becoming very successful.

The Skybar is located on the 5th floor of the building along with the Hotel lobby... uh okay. The staff are all very pleasant and accommodating. We went to the SkyBar and found it to be a smallish yet convenient place to wait for guests or visitors along with getting a drink or a bite to eat. The bar looks like it can accommodate about 30 people in the interior. There is a nice outdoor patio that can easily accommodate more when the weather is nice. The barkeeper was very attentive and observant, he took our food and drink requests at the bar and in short order, everything was presented. I had a Moscow Mule that I found to be a refreshing drink. Ginger beer, lime and vodka. An excellent combination. I also had an order of the chicken wings and fries. The fries were a normal shoestring variety, cooked well, nicely salted and came in a metal bowl. The wings I found to be outstanding! I don't usually get wings this well made unless I do it myself. I received 8 wings coated with barbecue sauce on a charcuterie board with the fries. The wings were served nicely hot. The meat was piping hot, juicy and tender. The barbecue coating was a hearty middle of the road sauce, not sweet or too smoky. It was caramelized perfectly for that sticky texture and flavor. Definitely a nice coating. Thankfully the bartender brought us a lot of napkins. The wings and fries made for a satisfying meal. The bar boasts a couple of gas fireplaces that make for a warming environment with a few semi private tables. There is a longer table for a larger group as well as several smaller tables and a few bar stools for game watching. All in all we found the bar to be a cozy semi-private environment, yet available to the guests as they come and go. All around, a nice meeting area and watering hole. We will book our family members for a stay here at the hotel. I'm looking forward to trying more of their specialty drinks.

With that said, it was very challenging to find modern songs as there were numerous songs that were not in English and some of the English songs were actually in a totally different style than what we are used to hearing here in the US. So if you are expecting karaoke like you would have in the local bar this is not the place. The karaoke rooms are large with plenty of couches and seating, there's a big screen that displays videos and the words, you're given two microphones and there's some fun lighting that happens. During our time there the air conditioner was not working in our room so it became really hot, but they moved us to another room which was really nice. We were there during karaoke happy hour which was $15 per person per hour so it does add up pretty quickly. Also, we were there on a Friday evening and we were the only ones there, when I asked the attendant at the front desk if this is normal, she said they're not very busy on the weekends but during the week they're very busy with the Asian population. They do sell alcohol, but it's a very limited menu, they did offer a magnum of Cook's champagne at $38 a bottle, which was steep, but what made it not worth it was the fact that it was room temperature. I don't think this is an establishment I will visit again, but I do wish them well as they put a lot of thought and money into their karaoke establishment.
