I had a great time here last weekend. I am a lover of all things kitschy, and Otto's did not disappoint! While I wish the tiki-themed mixed drinks were a bit cheaper, they certainly do not skimp on the alcohol. These drinks will get the job done. It was crowded, but it was a Saturday night and there was a rockabilly band playing in the back. We still managed to snag some seating, and the friendly bartenders made it worth the wait for a drink. read more

THE GREATEST BAR IN NYC! I love this place with all my heart. it's the cutest and grungiest bar all rolled into one! the drinks are cheap, the music is perfect, and the people are amazing! Everything is so perfect, my fiance and I took our wedding save-the-date photos here! I was just there on Friday and had yet another fun-filled time! read more

First stop on the Pineapple Express, Otto's Shrunken Head. What looks like a hole in the wall from the exterior, is actually a quaint little tiki bar on the inside. Happy Hour seems like a pretty good deal here and I'm sure myself and other Yelpers utilized that to their full advantage. There is also a variety of tropical drinks on their cocktail menu that looked pretty interesting. Tonight, was strictly Jack Daniel's, so I did not dabble in such fruity drinks. There is also a small room in the back, where I'm presuming they hold events and probably even rent out the space (judging by what seemed like stand-up comedy during the time I was there). The bartender here was a little impolite though. It seemed she had a little trouble multitasking with a bar full of about twenty people but I guess she tried to the best of her ability. About twenty minutes before happy hour ended, she left the bar and didn't come back until after it ended. Being the only bartender there, knowing that it was a YELP event, why would you even think of leaving the bar?! During that time, I managed to get behind the bar and serve myself water. Otto's Shrunken Head will remain a small hole in the wall, nothing more in my memory. read more

This place is one of Reana K's favorites and she is right, they make awesome Tiki drinks. The drinks sneak up on you-since they're sweet you don't know it's time to stop. For 10 dollars in cash, you get an awesome drink, colorful and covered in happy spider monkeys, an umbrella and a cherry. Is there more to life? Yes, the sea horse. That tops it all off. The bar is a little disjointed since it is a dive, is cash only but is punk tiki at the same time. That said, it's super fun and I would come back if I was in the area. Which I am a lot thanks to Stuy Town living. read more

My friends and I stumbled across this place after making a wrong turn and trying to figure out where in the hell we should "settle" for the night. I had no idea this place existed but am SO glad that we found it. Everyone was so nice there-- from the bouncer to the bartenders to the bar patrons. I'm not one for pretensious crowds; Otto's crowd was relaxed and just plain cool, you know? The decor is great and the music is even better; by the end of the night my friends and I were absolutely exhausted (and a bit drunk) from the dance party that was going on in the back. And everyone there seemed to know how to dance. I'm talking proper swing, jive-type dancing. I was in awe...even of the guys! It's a cash only bar, but it's really cheap and my drinks were stronngggg. I got a PINT of cranberry & vodka for $10. $10!!! Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. read more

The bar has a lot of polarizing characteristics. It's a tiki bar. The bartenders and a decent chunk of the customers represent some kind of rockabilly/punk amalgam, and the live music falls along similar lines. The drinks aren't really that cheap, but the decor is (again, It's a tiki bar). There are a few pinball machines along the hallway between the live music and the bar. There is also a small man with a gravelly voice and mutton chops who I can only assume is the owner, and he's probably the biggest draw there. It's worth dropping in once to see if it will be your kind of place, but it likely won't. read more

What better way to end a bitter cold day, but to hang out at a divey tiki bar with colored blowfish lamps and a live surfer rock band. This is the kind of place that could be really self conscious and contrived (and having Pabst on tap is a good start), but in reality it just is what it is without being too careful about it (the bar menu consists of beef jerky and cup o'noodles - after the latter then menu reads: "yeah really"). So have some kitschy fun here (it's a bit out of the way, which seemed to better the typical East Village weekend crowd)... and you might be lucky enough to hear one of the better surf rock or rockabilly bands that play in the back room. p.s. The Susquehanna Industrial Tool & Die Co. play there, and they are, as they say, crazy awesome cool: http://sitanddieco.com read more

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars for Otto's, mainly due to their lack of a consistently working photobooth. If it had always been broken, or simply nonexistent, I wouldn't have been so utterly disappointed on my past few visits. But goddammit they have this great leopard print backdrop and I want more!! They have a nice happy hour 2-for-1 deal, which has gotten me in trouble once or twice. During non-happy-hour, I think their drinks are average... I want to say like $5 mixed drinks? And strong. I kind of hate 14th St a little bit, and the other nearby bars (Beauty Bar, Crocodile Lounge) seem to always be filled with a super-obnoxious fratty brawly sort of crowd (maybe my timing has been bad, who knows). Otto's is the best of the bunch. It's campy, it's grungy. It's always full of what look to be pretty heavy drinkers, but a real variety of ages and styles. Crowded. Can't pin down one particular scene. Even the music has been totally different every time I've gone. They have Pirates of the Caribbean pinball, Big Buck Hunter, and a sometimes-working photobooth. In the back I've heard that bands play? But I've never been around for that. I've peeked back there and it seems like a pretty sweet setup, nice and intimate. They also have some gorgeous red leather circular booths.. Pretty much if you find yourself on 14th St and don't feel like going farther downtown to find a non-sucky dive bar, this is where you should head. I wouldn't necessarily suggest it as a destination (unless a good band is playing), but I've always had a great time there. read more

I had great time here don't get me wrong.. but this is yelp review of the place not review of the event.. I have to say.. I've experienced better.. I passed by this place everytime without noticing.. probably happened for a reason... I don't really get the vibe of the place.. perhaps I started the happy hr way too early here.. perhaps I didn't get the crazy drinks everyone else was getting.. for whatever reason it was.. this place isn't for me.. However I had great time with all the yelpers!!! Thanks Craig N for gathering everyone together =) read more

A hidden gem and LES classic. It's a great place for a fun night with friends.

Run, don't walk... TO OTTO'S SHRUNKEN HEAD! I've had way more fun at Otto's than at most bars I've been to in Manhattan, and that's saying quite a bit. The booths are awesome if you can snag one, and the atmosphere is very relaxed and fun - it's hard to be pretentious or uptight when you're surrounded by tiki lanterns and fake grass decor. Either that or all that rum and music makes people really friendly. When you count the back room where the bands play, it's definitely more spacious and comfortable than other "rock'n'roll" bars (i.e. Manitoba's - even though that's a great destination as well, sitting down is good). Whether or not you check the website in advance (which unfortunately does not get updated often enough), you're sure to at least find something entertaining going on. I dragged a friend there on a Tuesday night with the promise of chilling out and hearing some rock and goth music, and found a bunch of goths getting made up to look like zombies. Another time, I left with plastic cocktail monkeys in my hair and was still finding them in my purse a week later. If fruity drinks are your thing, try the Shrunken Skirt or Pang's Punch (it fricking GLOWS! All good cocktails should glow!), or the classic Zombie. I joke that I have to go back with enough friends to split a Volcanic Blast. :-) Also, as people have mentioned, the last Saturday of every month is Midnite Monster Hop, which will blow every other psychobilly night you've been to out of the water. Come for the music, stay for the eye candy. No, seriously. read more

One of the most awesome bars ever! I went here intially because my friend was djaying and immediately made friends with the bartenders who hooked me up severely and I danced to the great music, stayed until closing! Since then I went back last week with a friend who had never gone and had an exceptionally amazing time as well. It's one of the best dive bars ever, with reasonable prices for drinks PBR starting at 3. Great music always and the people who go to the bar don't suck! I danced with some girl who had found some glow in the dark necklaces on the floor and her and I danced to 80s music :) I love meeting and chilling with cool, random people, I would recommend this bar to anyone who wants to go to a chill place where the music and drinks are good and cheap. read more

Best tiki dive, loud rock n' roll, juke joint (minus the juke). Djs most nights? spinning old rock tunes, punk, surf, rockabilly, 80s, whatever depending on the night. A favorite monthly record hop is the Japanese Rebel Night where a roomful of japoneses and other lovers of rockabilly and old r&b twist, jive, and stroll all night long. Nell and Natasha behind the bar, sweeten up the joint. Great tiki mugs and drinks too! read more

Otto's Shrunken Head - Rebel Night at Ottos - Tiki Bars Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Always wanted to check out this place, and finally decided to come on a Wednesday night after coming back from Hawaii and still thinking about their tiki drinks. We got here around 8pm and the place was already full. We've waited so long for our drinks but we totally understand, given there was only 1 bartender serving the whole house. This place gets so loud and if you want to have a convo with your friends without yelling out of your lungs, you should go somewhere else. The whole dive bar is tacky and ugly. Personally I don't find their drinks appetizing. Totally don't get how everyone is raving about their "great" cocktails. With $14/tiki drink I can get a better shaken cocktail at a fancier cocktail bar with real fruit juices and better liquor. We ordered the Wicked Willie and Mai Tai, the cocktails tasted like they were made from cheap liquors and artificial fruit flavored syrups. Gross. You can pay $6 deposit for the tiki mugs, which comes up to $20/drink. We decided we didn't want the mugs and asked for the bartender for the deposit and that took such a long time as well. While we were drinking and chatting among ourselves, this guy who works at the bar but not the bartender came and started to collect the emptied mugs, he suddenly shouted and startled all of us. When we looked over at him, he didn't say anything and just pointed to the mugs beside our drinks hinting if that was ours I suppose? We said they aren't ours and he just took the mugs and walked away. He was rude and there's really no need to raise your voice when you are literally right beside us. That just killed it. Never coming back. read more

Otto's Shrunken Head - Tiki Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Take this place with a grain of salt. Definitely not for everybody. aka don't take your stuffy friends here, haha. Otto's the place where you go for a good time, to people watch - because there is always a character there. drink tiki inspired drinks and groove to some music. Been here a couple times for shows and a drunkenly good time. I have yet to get a cool mug, I definitely want to take them up on the offer of just having them keep the extra $5 and walking out with the mug. They have cheap beers and usually strong tiki drinks. Though the last time the lychee drink seemed to not have any liquor in it. Still delicious nonetheless. Also, maybe she was just having a particularly bad day but one of the bartenders last time was just plain rude to customers. Quite the turn off. We sure didn't stay long this visit! read more

Once you walk into this dive bar, you're immediately sent to Hawaii with the puffer fish decor, Hawaiian wallpaper, Elvis Presley photos, tiki drinks you name it! It's definitely a one of a kind bar. There's a wide range of people that go here from funky dressed to casual. It's really a bar for everyone. The bartenders are all so nice and quick. The drinks are also themed and can come in a cool tiki, cat, and all sorts of mugs. (FYI: Must give $6 deposit incase you don't return the mug!) The drinks were tasty & strong. There's live music in the back as well. Oh & cash only! read more

Do you like umbrellas with your drinks as much as I do? Then definitely check out Otto's Shrunken Head. Oh, but before you come....go to the bank. It's cash only. A friend and I popped in randomly on a Saturday afternoon and we had a great time with the bartender who was enjoying an episode of Mob Wives. She mixed us up some awesome drinks that left us a little wobbly (2 was all we could do) and we really enjoyed the 90s music they were playing. Once the live band started, the place started filling up and getting very loud...which was our cue to exit. All in all, a decent spot, fun bartender and strong tropical drinks. What else does a Tiki bar need (aside from accepting debit) ? read more

I visited Otto's for the second time this past weekend. The volcano drink once again did not disappoint. The Singapore Sling however was an abomination. I had been advised to always order the specialty cocktails from the female bartender because she's the only one who knows how to make them. I watched as she poured cherry brandy, gin, and seltzer into my cup. That was it. No Benedictine, no Cointreau or grenadine, not even any lime juice!?! Needless to say, I will never order an SS at Otto's in the future. read more

One of the best bars that I have been to since moving to the city. I love the kitsch tiki decor and there is always amazing surf and rockabilly playing..... and there is PBR on tap, certainly a huge plus! The third Friday of every month they host a rockabilly dance party. It is probably the most fun that I have had ever. The atmosphere and crowd were amazing. I felt very welcomed and plan on being there for the next one. read more

Pumpkins, A bar is a bar. The scene varies and is often a little different everytime anyway, so no need to comment too specifically. Otto's is half misfits and half wanna-be misfits (takes all kinds, don't it?). And there are some normies thrown in, and they get their liquor for dirt-cheap too. Hey, it's just about Loisaida, they can't be selling no $19 martuni. Now, since this is yelp, I'm going to tell you my story in the form of review and you're going to sit there and spoon it up if you know what good rock is. I went on guitar hero soundtrack night, so I knew every song, and so did everyone else, and the whole goddam tiki shack was BURSTING with SONG. It would subside out of respect for the guitar solos, or when an actual band was playing, or when the regulars were catching up (i suspect 2/3 of the place is regulars .. I'm an aspiring regular). Have you ever seen a movie where people break into song? Like something from the 60's, or broadway? That kind of thing? That's what happened the night I was here. A kind, dark man with a shaved head was tending bar. I approached. Me: Could I get a pair of gin and... Him: "Is that the question?" Me: ... Him: "'Cuz if so, if soooo.... Me: "WHO ANSWERS--" Us: "WHO ANSWEERRS...." Whole Bar: "I-i, OOOOOOOOOOh, I'm still alive, hey-ey!" If you were a jehovah's witness or an evangelist or a bhuddist, and I told you I was a child of the 90's and I loved rock and then I asked you what heaven held for me should I swear my soul to your cause, you could not have described anything better than my night at Otto's Shrunken Head. You can buy a volcano here. You can fit in no matter who you are. If you know what music is, you are home when you walk in. Or at least that night. It's possible every night is a different thing, and some night will be bagpipe night. I would recommend Otto's on bagpipe night. Just saying. Why not go see what tonight is? Don't pretend you're too busy. read more

Am I the only person who doesn't think the drinks here are strong?! I've been here a bunch of times and I'm a female under 100 pounds. I tip more than adequately and so does everyone I've ever come here with, so I'm not sure what the problem is. The booths are comfy. The blowfish lamps above the bar are awesome. I appreciate real photobooths. I do not appreciate being punched by the bouncer on my way to the bathroom because I didn't hear him asking for ID while a band was performing. Especially when I'd already been seated at the bar for hours. To his credit, he did apologize. I want to like this place, I really do. But they make it difficult. read more

Love this NYC tiki bar. I've been to some of the top tiki bars throughout the country (namely La Mariana in Honolulu, Tiki Ti in Los Angeles, Three Dots and a Dash in Chicago, Tonga Room and Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco . . . and I'd put Otto's up there with the best of them (Three Dots and a Dash being my favorite). Otto's is a dive -- but that's a good thing. The place has a half-dozen booths and a bar seating maybe 15-20 people and that's about it. There was live music in the back which appeared to accommodate more seating but I didn't venture back there so I'm not sure how much more room the place provides for seating. Nevertheless, we got in quickly and instantly found two open seats at the bar on a crowded Saturday night around 11pm. The place was VERY loud and it was difficult to communicate with the bartenders but the girls tending bar were very professional and more than adequate in a fast-paced environment. Mixing tiki drinks is obviously a process and it seemed you never had to wait too long to order the next drink. For me, the drinks were way too potent. Also, the combination of ingredients in the drinks wasn't balanced very well making them too strong and detracted from the taste. The highlight, for me, were the tiki glasses. I collect them from all of my stops across the country and Otto's had some great glasses and you can take them home for a VERY affordable $5 apiece. I bought six (with one of them being a very cool limited edition piece for $40). read more

My roommate is a regular here (when she can be) but I've only come on a handful of occasions but let me tell you, it is always lovely. I've seen many a friend rock the stage in their awesome back room which makes me feel like the Little Mermaid. The décor is amazing, yes, but the patrons are hit or miss. there's plenty of cool people hanging around but you get a ton of yuppies on busy nights. If that's your scene, you'll like Otto's (but tip, damn it. I've seen too many people complain about service while not tipping their bartenders). If that isn't your scene, go during the off hours and hear amazing music, have a friendly conversation, bet to know the bartenders, and drink a milkshake. This place is expensive but with its location and menu, it has to be. read more

Otto's Shrunken Head is as much a refuge as it is a Tiki bar. This is probably the one establishment that has been in business the entire 15 years I've been in New York. Every time I go, there are amazing characters, unique music from local weirdos, and a great drink selection. Everything is in constant upheaval in this city, but New York is still gritty and grimy at Otto's. read more

Definitely loud & tiny but you have to check out their merchandise at the front. There's some really cool stuff there. This place epitomizes "dive bar" & is definitely a fit in this area. Seems very chill and casual. I went to an event on Friday evening and thought people would be elaborately dressed up. I was happy to see this wasn't the case. I'd come back. read more

On a visit to NYC, I came here with a group at the suggestion of a local. Whoa. My group was from all over the country, and we were all pretty mesmerized by the environment and the people inside. This is the most unique bar I can recall visiting. Plus, the night we went was some kind of robot steam punk fetish night, and everyone was in costume. It was outstanding. They also had Yuengling on tap, which I can't get in Indiana. A+ would drink again. read more

Ottos, where all things tiki and rock and roll come together, and meet for a great night out. Rockabilly galore, with great traveling acts all the time. This is a really nice place to come with friends, even if they aren't into the retro cocktail hour thing, everyone can enjoy fruity drinks. I've made many memories in this place, and it solidifies my love of New York. Plus, where else can you wear 4" leopard print heels and no one try to pick you up like a hooker? read more

My go to dive bar in the city. A little off the beaten path and it usually takes people out of their comfort zone in here. Get yourself a rum cocktail from the list and don't be a wuss, put it in the kitschy tiki receptacle they offer. You may wonder to the back room and catch some fun off beat live music. SIT & DIE is always a good one to catch here. read more

I don't want this place to close down and therefore I'll air on the side of two stars rather than one. To the owner, please invest a little more into this place and have someone go through and give it a power cleaning. Being a dive bar doesn't mean license to let everything fall apart. My bar stool looked like a sad old lion out on the Serengeti. It also had a giant cigarette burn, which seeing as how smoking in bars was banned years ago, it's probably a good indication as to how long this place has been neglecting things. The men's bathroom was like walking into a port-a-potty, but the kind that might have been steeping in the hot sun for three years closed off and forgotten by the public, only then to be uncovered and opened again with an engulfing steam and perspiring stench that is beyond recognition. I also want to make it clear, I am all for a little dirt, I do not shy away from the putrid or grotesque, but were it not for alcohols ability to sanitize, I might not have been able to finish my drink It's like going to an old haunted house where everything is a bit sordid and disorientating, and the fear emanates not from whats haunting you, but that the whole building might collapse or catch fire, and then you're thinking how unfortunate it would be for your tombstone to read "died in a shanty haunted house attraction." But I loved the bar tender. read more

If you're amuzed by the tiniest .0033384th of a shit then this is your place! CAT CUPS!?? CAN I PLZ HAZ NOW!!??? NEEDDD ITTT! I can't even tell you what the drinks taste like because I get too destracted by floating glow sticks, flames and umbrellas coming out of my awesome beverage holders. Price? I'll see it when I log into my bank account the next morning. Too drunk. read more

The ONLY true tiki bar in the city. Where else can you hear punk rock, ska, rockabilly and dancehall while drinking reasonably priced drinks? First timers will be tempted to order a fruity rum drink served in an Easter Island head or around a flaming "volcano". Go ahead, get it out of your system and then move to something less vomitous. Unless of course you want to be asleep in a booth in the early hours of the morning, drooling on yourself. I've never been that guy, but have witnessed that occasional guy or gal. Anyway, back to the bar... The back room has hosted the most random and entertaining bands I've ever seen. Big buck hunter will take my money at least once a visit. The bathroom is usually dependable for depicting an open septic tank and no, there's no mirror to fix your pompadour. Unless they replaced it and no one has put their foot through the new one yet. You could get lucky. Bonus, the last Saturday of every month is THEE MIDNITE MONSTER HOP! Psycho-Rock-a-Billy bands and music starting around 10PM. Not to be missed. Bring your black leather jacket, gingham shirt and punk disposition...or come as you are. read more

I love this place. We've been here a few times, and it's always been an absolute blast. The drinks are so deliciously potent, if you're not careful, you'll be stumbling home after just 2 of the "tiki drinks." The best part about the drinks here is that they have fun names like "Patty's Poison" and "Suffering Bastard." Plus, they always add a cherry or pineapple slice, a mini umbrella, and a tiny plastic monkey. You will feel like you're on vacation! So, yes, the drinks are awesome. But the real thing that makes this place great is the live music. On the website they tout a wide range of musical talent including "Lounge/Exotica, Rockabilly, Punk, Country, Rock, Garage, Metal, Surf and Acoustic/Singer/Songwriter." All three times we've been here, they've had mainly rockabilly/surf/rock type bands. And they were SO fun! Just the other night, we saw a rockabilly cover band that belted out some classics by Chuck Berry and the Ramones. The music room is tiny, hot and LOUD, but there will most definitely be people dancing and having a good ol' time so make sure you wear cool, comfortable clothes. The only thing I don't like about Otto's Shrunken Head is that is is totally dirty and disgusting! Maybe it's because this used to be a pharmacy (with the cool tiled floor still in place), but I feel like everything has a coat of dinge on it. The bathrooms are heinous and the floor always looks filthy. Just have another tiki drink and try not to think about how gross the place is. read more

So this is definitely a dive bar. I was up in NY for a work thing in midtown and I was unable to convince my co-workers to come based on the location, which they described as Alphabet Soup. The neighborhood didn't feel overly sketchy or dangerous, but yeah ... it's a dive bar in a more run down part of Manhattan. The drinks were decent, the bar was a dive. There was a live band playing not the greatest music. It was unique. The drinks come in appropriate mugs if you pay a deposit, which I thought was a good trade off. read more

Otto's shrunken head was a bit out of the way, but I am so glad my husband and I stopped in for a few drinks. The atmosphere was fun and casual, which was exactly what we were looking for. Between the the two of us, we tried 6 different drinks, all in tiki mugs, and we really enjoyed all of them! There was plenty of alcohol (none of that "lots of juice and a splash of rum" junk) topped off with fun accessories in the drinks. My only complaint is the high prices for the tiki drinks, they cost something like $25 I think? But we knew this ahead of time, so I did not consider this when giving my rating. Overall, highly recommended! read more

Stopped in here on a weekend night and enjoyed watching an awesome surf band. I'm not really into surf bands, but the band was pretty good, so it's definitely worth checking out if you're into live music. The room where the bands play is pretty small but the sound was good and surprisingly not too loud. The bar in general is definitely of the dive tiki variety. read more

I love this bar. They have strong drinks that don't taste like they have any alcohol in them. You can collect cool ceramic tiki mugs. Great dive bar that plays great music. If you are in the village stop by. read more

HAH...I saw this place on Yelp by accident. I got into an awesome fist fight here with some retarded 17yr old LES boy who decided it was a good idea to kiss and put his nasty, pissy hands on my friend/coworker. Well...besides that, I enjoyed the bar! I got drunk on Red Stripes and Johnny Walker shots, and it was good. The store next door sold Camel's, which is also good. I'd come back here though, one for the photo booth, one for the sex game, whatever the heck it was, and just because it's a decent place to go. Dat's all folks. read more

The drinks here are a kitschy and potent form of voodoo. p.s. Pang's Punch is the one with a glowstick in it. (Now you can ask for it by name and pretend you care more about the beverage than the luminescent novelty of it all. You're welcome.) read more

DIVE ALERT! The enormous tiki lava volcano drinks (something blue, way too sweet, and surprisingly alcoholic that comes with long straws, monkey, maraschino cherries, and a flame in the middle) are hilarious, as are the decor, the name, and the general atmosphere. If you want a light, casual, and fun night out, this is a good stop. If you want to impress someone who is not an already-slightly-drunk beach bum or a Jimmy Buffet Parrothead, you might want to go somewhere else. I hear good things about the photo booth, by the way. Oh, and cash only. read more

Nested in the heart of Alphabet City, Otto's Shrunken Head is a bar of the type which is quickly becoming extinct. It's a dive... but... a great gone. It's tiki-themed and was once featured on Bourdain's No Reservations a few years ago. That's when I first heard of it and it's been on my list of places to hit up when in town for a while. Well it looks like I can now cross it off my bucket list as my significant other and I hit up this joint on a very early afternoon, on a weekend after stuffing ourselves silly at one of the Momofoku's nearby. We braved the chilly winds of a sunny, winter day and easily found the place. We stared at the dusty window display and walked right in. It was just past 2PM and the woman behind the bar was still setting up. They had just opened and we were the first patrons there. We decided to forego the booths and instead opted to sit at the bar. The place is unique - and by unique I mean rundown. And by rundown I mean awesome. It's exactly what I was hoping it would be and honestly everyone should experience Otto's at least once in their lives. The drinks are pretty stiff but actually pretty tasty however they require deposits for each drink which was a pain in the ass. We were the only patrons there and yet they still made us pay those deposits. Seriously? We're sitting a foot away from you and making small talk. Their drinks feature 2 categories: Tiki drinks and frozen drinks. We skipped the latter and tiki'd our way into an early afternoon buzz. I started with a delicious Shrunken Head, their signature drink and later had a Patty's Poison. Each drink has tons of exotic juices and rum. Tons and tons of rum. It's all sugary and it's all delicious. It'll add some hair to your chest and it will let you contemplate your life in whole new ways. I myself was wondering what the hell I was doing there at 2PM. But then I realized that their drinks were good and used that as an excuse for my holiday alcoholism. The bartender was pretty friendly and made small talk with us and other patrons who eventually arrived. The place is cash only and they have events all the time (check their site or Facebook page). They also have happy hour fro 2PM to 8PM, Monday through Fridays but that doesn't apply to tiki drinks. Add $3 PBR pints and $6 boilermakers and you've got yourself a solid spot. A pretty dirty, rundown but glorious place. I look forward to hopefully returning one day for some more daytime drinkin' and some friendly banter with the bartenders working there. And and if you don't feel like being separated from their awesome tikiware that the drinks come served in, they sell them all either at the bar or line which is really rad! read more
