Review content:
I absolutely loathe this place. I started out really liking it, going there with my sister one Friday night. I had the pirate grog which was very good, albeit expensive, and my sister got something I can't recall the name of but the recipe needed work, it was sickly sweet. \r
The service was ok that time, we were helped by a woman I know who is actually pretty good. The men bartenders were terrible though. In a bar you want great service, affordable and stiff drinks and a great atmosphere. You also want to feel welcomed. The second time we tried to return we were treated very rudely. Not one to just give up my husband and I tried again last night to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and were turned away for a private rum event. They didn't even have a sign on the door, we walked in and were met with a lot of stares from the people at the event. My question about this is who closes their bar during happy hour for a private event? There may have been 10 people there tops. You do that during the day, not at 6:30 pm when people want a drink.\r
To sum it up, this place does not fit my bill for a good bar:\r
\r
Service? TERRIBLE. The guys behind the bar don't make you feel like you are welcome or would want to return.\r
Drinks? Good, but way too expensive. I would much rather spend my money at La Pinata where they cost the same and you don't feel so unwelcome.\r
Ambience? They used an old familiar Alameda bar that is legendary for being really dark. When I think of a tiki bar, I think sunshine. Not a place so dark you can't even see the people you have come with.\r
\r
I would not recommend it, unless you are into places that treat their customers rudely.
Pros: Tasty drinks (some of them)
Cons: Bad service, unwelcome vibe, way too dark
