The ambiance is very tropical and fun, and love that they have such a spacious bathroom! They have an extensive drinks menu, like several pages long! With so many guava, pineapple and coconut-based options, it was honestly confusing on what to get but we decided on the classics: the Lei Lani Volcano and Lava Flow. The drinks were so creamy and delicious yet dangerously strong! Also, can we talk about the portion sizes? My drink was literally the size of my face, like what?!! It is best to come here in large groups because their shared drinks/scorpion bowls are a total showstopper! It is in a very upscale neighborhood of Portland called Grant Park, so it was fun to walk around and see all the cool houses - there was one imitating a thatched roof and what not. Worth checking out the neighborhood before or after visiting Hale Pele.

The decor feels arbitrary and hasn't grown in the 3 years between my visits. The bartop is tiny despite plenty of wide open space in the venue, adding to that empty feeling. But it's the only tiki bar for miles and it has a unique tiki + horror theme that I appreciate: emphasizing creepy mugs, playing vintage Godzilla on the TV, and a collection of drinks named after monsters. They also have custom mugs for sale, which is always awesome to see. My partner enjoyed her Chinese Mai Tai, but my Bride of Frankenstein tasted like light cream. The service was good. They were professional and personable and bantered well with everyone around the bar. There seemed to be plenty of regulars making the rounds in the early afternoon. So if you're in Eugene and want a tiki drink, this is the place to go.

We wanted a drink and bite before thrifting and going to the book store. One other couple was inside. Waiter was nice but not hospitable. The ambiance is amazing - 10/10 love the vibe and decor. I ordered a drink of the mixed drinks and my husband got a margarita. The drink was so bad - neither one of us could drink it. I don't think I've ever returned a drink I can't pound before haha. It was 10 minutes before I went home to the bar to ask for something different - no one came by to ask how things were. The guava choice I picked for the second - not good. Watered down flavors of who knows. The drinks at Wahi Hanna are amazing in comparison - especially with the Dole Whip vibe. The spam fries were $9 for half a can of spam cut up and put in the oven with a side of mayo? The loco moco was promising but tasted like something you'd get at Kenjis - not a Hawaiian spot. I feel like with a lot of tweaks in flavor - this could be a great spot.

Please note they allow up to 3 checks per table which is very reasonable! Service is 5 stars. Ambiance is exactly what I wanted. Everyone at the table enjoyed the decor and you can walk around to explore after you've settled your check. All the cocktails are fun and present well. This last time I tried the 3 shots they offered and highly recommend! They won't serve all 3 to 1 person at once but once you finish the first one they can bring the 3rd one out. The Jell-O shot was my favorite:) I heard the grilled cheese was very good too! Worth checking out.

I also couldn't taste the cranberry sauce very much. The tots were good and the ranch they came with was also good. The dessert was a nice way to end the meal and wasn't too heavy.

Not sure how they never noticed it before it made it on the wall but there's no way they haven't seen or been told about it since then. We definitely weren't expecting....that! The restaurant was clean and wasn't too loud. They have a good amount of parking in their lot. There are only two stalls in the bathroom so it can have a bit of a line when it's busy. This was my second time going to North Bank. It's a bit pricey but it's a good treat and a nice place to take a friend who is visiting from out of town.

The menu looks like tiki drinks, but the Jungle Bird and Scorpion were absurdly bitter and tasted nothing like their namesakes. The host at the front seemed completely put off by our arrival. Our server was friendly but seemed new and made a few mistakes. Their burgers are large, but do not come with fries. Every burger should come with fries, especially at this high price point. For what it is, the space is pleasant, especially sitting by the window and watching the river. We did, however, see a fully developed spiderweb in a surprisingly conspicuous spot inside. The more McMenamins I visit, the less sold I am on their value proposition.

It's such a unique concept and always a hit when I bring friends here. The space is cozy with an elevated tiki-inspired vibe, and they recently added a nice outdoor patio. It's a little on the pricey side, but you're paying for the atmosphere and experience, and I think it's worth it! The staff are always warm and upfront about wait times, so if you don't have a reservation, be prepared to wait.

We reserved on Tock, and it was mostly full on a Friday night. Drinks: lots of local beers are available, but I went with the Pineapple Express: she warned it was spicy, and it indeed was (in a really good way). All of the food is done family style: - Clams Galicia: with tomato, chorizo, bacon broth. This broth as amazing. I literally drank it with a spoon - Pan con tomate: slightly different from classic preparation - more flavorful and heavier on the toppings - Salmorejo: tomato and bread puree, Serrano, jammy egg - like a creamy gazpacho - Grilled asparagus: with whipped ricotta and a cured egg yolk - Squid ink pasta: with hazelnuts, caramelized onions, peppers, and a runny egg yolk, a bit spicy. This dish was my favorite - Honey brined pork chop with a basque piperade sauce The servers were all great about checking in. I would definitely recommend the squid ink pasta and the clams if you're in town!
