With netting on the ceiling, fog machines, swamp lamps, and pictures of the swamp monster, it creates a unique atmosphere. However, the unpleasant odor that greets you as soon as you enter is quite off-putting. My friend and I waited about 10 minutes before a server acknowledged us. When our drinks finally arrived, they came with a rubber chicken that looked dirty, and it was actually floating in our drink. When I requested the check, it took another 10 minutes for the server to bring it. Keep in mind that the restaurant isn’t very large and there weren't many customers. I noticed her cleaning glasses and reorganizing the bar while we waited to leave. While it was an interesting experience once, I don't feel inclined to return.

Each drink is unique and the bartenders do a great job with the presentation! They could chill out with the fog machine, it's a smaller space and it gets to be a bit much at times.

They were delicious but way too much ice. I wanted to order another round but when I asked the bartender if they could do less ice or use regular glass cups I was told no (with no explanation or solution) . I know it’s a tiki bar but I am very particular as a ND I like regular glasses to see my drink. I’d go back and maybe speak with a different bartender. I love the decor and vibe! They didn’t have food but Amelia said we could bring in food. Next time that’s the plan. Check them out!
