This place is absolutely adorable. Great vibes! The service is also great. Our waitress was able to give us great drink and food recommendations. The flamingo drink was so refreshing. Couldn't taste the alcohol! Can't wait to go back read more

Time of day: late after noon, around 4PM Service: 5/5 Upon arrival, I was greeted within a few minutes, with no pressure and time to review the menu. I observed proactive water service from the on duty mixologist, and immediately got the feel of a laid back, southern vibe and tropical twist. Drinks: plenty of tropical drinks and local beer to n cans with 4 draft beers. Draft beers were good for local, but not fully aligned with what is expected at a tropical bar - 1 Japanese lager, 1 local Asian style lager, 1 IPA and 1 Lager - all local all draft ... good options and would love to see this expanded to local pacific island inspired craft beer in the future. Great selection of specialty cocktails. Somewhat mix forward; I would love a more spirit forward cocktail. I indulged in the Sunset sling. This was well balanced and not too sweet. I can't say I tasted the gin, but in all honesty, nothing was TOO much in this drink. The Hurricane was next up and WOW - this too me straight to a tiki bar - balanced, spirit present but not over the top, and tropical in all the right ways. If you're here for just one drink, choose this one. Food: the vegetable gyoza were a solid choice - they came out hot, crispy, and had a ponzu in the bottom of the dish - the server should highlight this as I initially thought it was missing. You get 6, which is solid, but I would love to see 7 or 8 to make the $14 dollar price feel like a steal. Ambiance and Activities: There was good music, but non tropical & more of a house mix. I'd also like this to have more of a tropical influence given the scenery, maybe a house mix that emphasizes a tropical vibe - no complaints volume wise, just a change I the tracks would further align the overall theme of the space. Wanna get corn holed, take some photos, or do some hula hoop!? They have it all. A great neon sign, a corn hold green space and hula hoops can be found d in the back wall. Indulge and find your self I. A comparable Hawaiian climate (June - September) with great vibes to match. Summary: please come see this place. It's new, plenty of vibes, and has exactly what you need if you're looking for some R&R as a local or Visitor. read more

Fun spot! We went with some friends here while we waited on our table at the adjoining Junto. Shoutout to the DJ Robyn who provided the good vibes and they have some yard games and hulahoops and such. Good food and drinks, fire pit and small table seating, the tiki bar vibes feel perfect for the summer. read more

My friends and I went to check this place out, it was a super cool environment. It was not crowded when we went, the drinks I thought were priced accurately. We did not get food, but the food did look good. Our bar tender was new so there was some issues there, but nothing major. It took a while to get my tab closed even though there were only a few people. The games placed all around were super fun. They were playing bay watch on the tv to fit the theme which I thought was cool. read more

​We entered the main door of Junto and then moved to the Tiki themed Bar Kapu with mismatched seating (different seat heights and design). There is a side entrance that leads directly to the outdoor area on the street adjacent to the front door. First big detractor of the night was the swarm of flies that come for your food. I had hoped for oscillating fans to keep them at bay, and to provide a cooling breeze, but that was wishful thinking for a 91° 6ish time slot. The service was fine and attentive, however I found it odd that they asked for a credit card to keep for the duration of our stay - I guess for an open tab - which I found to be an odd practice. I've worked in the credit card business, and that is a practice we would never recommend to consumers. It's one thing to hand it over at the end of the meal for them to promptly run it through the credit card kiosk, and another to bring it somewhere else for a considerable amount of time before it's been swiped. I don't normally carry my physical card around and rely on my phone's digital wallet, so luckily one of us had a card on hand. Now regarding the food - the veggie dumplings were fine - but for $14, definitely pricy for an appetizer. We had the $21 poke bowl which was nicely presented with a few avocado slices and seaweed salad, a decent amount of Bluefin tuna cubes, but it had way too much rice for serving size proportions and the tuna had an off putting aftertaste. My guests and I agreed that YW Poke's $14 bowls were way more flavorful and come with more toppings and sauce. Yes, I've had really awesome poke in other States, particularly O'ahu, but I'm comparing it to another local venue for an apples to apples comparison. The $18 Rainbow roll wasn't as good as the $16.25 Rainbow roll at Sushi house, another local site, which comes with freebie appetizers - so it's not something we'd order again. We understand that commercial retail rent must be high for any new builds given the B'ville Square real estate - and hands down, the decor in the backyard patio is eclectic, as is the attached Junto restaurant, but pricing should match the quality of the food. I've had better at AOI, also on the Square, even though their quality has come down a notch from their debut days. We won't be trying Bar Kapu again, but we will give Junto a chance even though the kitchen is the same, but only because their menu has more offerings. ​I've made a reservation for their brunch and will post their review tomorrow. read more

Food was great. We had the chicken lettuce wraps and the Guy. The bar staff were super friendly and helpful. The only complaint is with the music system the DJ was using. She was playing it so loud it was distorting and cutting out. We kept thinking surely she would turn it down to improve the quality of the sound but after about an hour we finally had to ask someone to ask the DJ to turn it down just enough to make the sound clear. We loved the outdoor vibe. read more

Do not order the old fashioned. It's not even close to an old fashioned. I asked the waiter if I had the right drink and they laughed and said even they think it's comical they call it an old fashioned. Mostly weird cherry taste, with crushed ice that melts in seconds. read more
