    Happy hour late night!!! $5 desserts!
    Jill M.

    Our tour guide Betty from Boot Hill Suggested Mai Tai for late night cheap drinks. We enjoyed a Thursday late night happy hour which starts at 9pm. We sat outdoors, where smoking is not allowed. The view of Richie Plaza and the Band Shell were pretty spectacular on this night with a full moon (or close). Drinks are cheap. We were all about the fruity drink specials for $5. Lava Flow was like dessert, too sweet for me. The Captain Morgan Rum Runner was tasty. The wait staff was nice, but never did bring my water or ask my friend about a refill. Could have been more attentive. The restaurant deck was clean, comfortable and has great vibes. Being oceanfront doesn't hurt! The lead vocals in the live band sounded like karaoke--and not good karaoke. Even with the cheap drinks--you couldn't drink enough for that guy to sound good.

    Came here for some drinks and snacks and a nice place to chat with a view of the ocean. Was a bit disappointed by the Mai Tai itself, but I really enjoyed the Lava Flow, it was so creamy and delicious. The food was tasty, but a bit small and expensive for the portions.

    We stopped in here for dinner and were one of three tables of customers. That should have tipped us off. We started with the calamari which were extremely small. Not the plate, the actual calamari. They were over battered and over fried. Very rubbery. Then we got the chicken tenders and they were also over fried and very dry. The bourbon dipping "sauce" was completely liquid, like water. It tasted like they just mixed bourbon and sugar in a jar and then poured it in a cup and called it sauce. Lastly, the firecracker shrimp. They were not deveined and when I pointed this out to the waiter he said "I don't know any restaurant that cleans the small ones"...like I was just supposed to get over myself and happily eat poop. And trying to pass off that other restaurants are dirty (which they are not) so they can be too. We got Mai Tai's to drink and they were pretty good, hence the two stars.

    This is probably my favorite spot in Daytona. Such a good atmosphere with great food and entertainment. We drove in for the weekend to pick up a bike and take advantage of a romantic getaway. This was the perfect location to do so. We even came back the next night and it was even better. The live band on Friday was really good too. The prices are so affordable especially if you order off of the happy hour menu, which has late night hours. Overall, we will definitely be back when we come back for bike week.

    Amazing happy hour. Decent views of the beach kind of through the boardwalk/pavillion. We were there on a Fri (M-F they have certain apps on a happy hour special and also drink specials) the day we were there they offered their late night drink specials during happy hour which included $3 Kona Big Wave and $3 glasses of wine. We also had a couple of their happpy hour apps. The shrimp ceviche was really good. For the happy hour price of $6 they don't give you a smaller portion which I've had some places do. It's kind of like pica de gallo with streamed shrimp. We liked it and thought it was refreshing. We also had the coconut shrimp which was also really good. 5 large shrimp in coconut batter fried to a perfect crisp and served with some kind of marmalade type sauce. We seriously may go back tomorrow.

    Stopped by for dinner and drinks on Friday night in the summer. Just ahead of the 9pm happy hour so we paid normal price for everything. Still reasonable, $8 per drink. The drinks were delicious and came up fast. We decided on some food as well. Ordered 12 chicken wings and a Margherita flat bread. Gave 4 stars as the food took longer than it should have to come out (the waitress informed us after putting our order in). We were hungry and not in a rush so not a big deal. It didn't seem too busy at that time yet so I was surprised they were behind in the kitchen. When it did arrive though, the two of us ate every wing and most of the flat bread. Would definitely order those same items again. But we will be returning and most likely will try something different. There were a lot of tasty options. Definitely want to come back during late night happy hour as drinks and some menu items are a few dollars cheaper. The bartenders were all great!

    Rare burger!

    This was sooo bad! No one was here and we still got crappy service ! Ordered the cheeseburger well-done. And well - you see it! Horrible. And service was horrible and we were the only ones on the patio!

    This Tiki Torch looks like a... Tiki Torch?

    All night happy hour? Practically. Come Monday through Friday and it's happy hour prices from 4 p.m. until 1 a.m., except for two hours between 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Saturdays it's on 9 p.m. - 1 a.m. and Sundays it's 4 p.m. - 12 a.m. Happy Hour Prices: Specialty Cocktails $4 Well Drinks $3 Beer Pints $2.50 (Bud, Coors, Miller, Kona) Beer Pints $2.75 (Yuengling, Michelob Ultra) Beer Pints $4.00 (Magic Hat, Stella, Shock Top, Landshark, Fat Tire) Mai Tai's is where you go if you want tropical drinks at a reasonable price in a themed bar. If you are looking to have a full dinner here, you're out of luck, but they do have plenty of appetizers to get you through. Icy Mai Tai - Good, but no whoa factor. Lava Flow - Pina Colada with Strawberry. Good if you like sweet, fruity, creamy drinks. Cucumber Melon Crush - I loved this one. Really refreshing cucumber, with a little melon flavor to give it some sweetness. Spinach Artichoke Dip - Good portion size, I was happy eating it, but I wasn't impressed. Frizzled Onion Strings - Breaded, battered and fried onion slivers with BBQ and ranch. Kind of like the onion strings that Applebee's serves. I like those and I like these. Popcorn Shrimp - Our group gobbled these up in 5 minutes. They give you quite a few shrimp, I would totally order this again. French Fries with Herb and Parmesan - They come served in a suspened cone with the cheese and herbs sprinkled and melted on top. BBQ Chicken Flatbread - Loved this. Their flatbread is very thin, crispy, but full of chicken, cheese, red onions and garlic on each slice, then drizzled with BBQ sauce. The night we went there was a local band that came on around 11 p.m. and played rock cover songs from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. The next night they were having a battle of the bands. Our server Kacy was the bomb. She was sweet, had our drinks out quick and didn't forget anyone's order in our group of 15+. The food also arrived quickly. The best seats are outside facing the boardwalk and Daytona Beach Bandshell, but if it's thunderstorm season you are better of grabbing a table inside vs. chancing it and having your food and drinks soaked. Planning a Daytona Beach pub crawl? Put Mai Tai's on your list!

    Happy hour until 7pm!

    I came here on my trip in Daytona beach. They had a happy hour and so I ordered a lava flow drink. It was like a pins colada with strawberry syrup. It was quite sweet! It didn't taste like alcohol at all. The Mai tai drink on the other hand was so good! I wish I had ordered that.. Instead I sipped from my boyfriends drink. I also ordered the coconut shrimp since it was $5 on the happy hour. There weren't many shrimps but gosh were they GOOD!!! I want some more right now! What's nice about this restaurant is they are right next to the beach. You can see live performances in the open area and also see the beach water.

Seated outside, but that was ok on the overcast day, and not hot at all (and lovely views, of course). Waitress was very good, friendly and everything got served right and well. Small tip if you are into the fruity drinks--- they had special mugs and change-color plastic glasses for extra $.....but the drink amounts in those is larger than the regular. I paid an extra buck for the color-changing class and got a bigger drink. On to the food: we had clam chowder (good taste, according to the eater), fried calamari, peel and eat shrimp, and "crabby bites." I liked the taste of the small crab cakes, but the crab cake aficionado in the group did not (she has rarely said GOOD to any crab cakes outside of Maryland!). Peel and eat shrimp was quite good-- plain, without much spice added, but bigger than the shrimp at many places around here. Key lime pie was fine; not very tart but thick texture and filling, for sure. We thought/feared it might be more 'gimmicky,' given the name, but it was a solid seafood meal, for sure. Would gladly go back, if there weren't so many other great places along the coast!
