    If you like coconut you'll enjoy Chi Chi and Pina Colada. They have huge variety of drinks, which are not expensive at all. Also, try their Hawaiian chips with mango or pineapple salsa. So good!

    Try the flights to get a sense of what you like and the cute little wahine waitresses can take care of the rest and give you suggestions. The Kahlua colada is delicious, if not a little dangerous!

    One of the best bars in Chicago & tiki bars in the USA. Serving zombies & mai tai’s since 1964 in a beautiful tropical interior. My fav drink is the Golden Zombie. Hala Kahiki means pineapple.

    I've been here twice, both times were awesome!! They don't serve food, eat before you go. The drinks sneak up on you. I had 3 Zombies, I didn't realize how intoxicated I was until I stood up lol

    Driving to the airport and want a pre-flight drink in one of America's most historical tiki bars? Check. Don't expect craft cocktails, though. This place is old school.

    Tiki drinks are a great excuse to see old friends. Feels like you're actually in Hawaii.

    If you guys are into footfetish, the waitresses are full bloom flipflops. Ask for Sandy, she's got great toes... And the drinks are not bad either... ^__^

    Snow Goddess is my most favorite. It's like a coffee shake with whip cream.

    The store is worth looking in, but the lady that works in it is seriously like a character from SNL. She will follow you around and not let you leave.

    The few times I've been, they've watered down the drinks with a ton of ice - except for the last time. Go on a weekend.

    The worst experience I have ever had. The employee and the owner had extremely rude attitude. Terrible service! Better save your money for a better place with friendly environment!

    The service here sucks unless you sit right at the bar. Every time I come here I have to beg for a waitress. This place would be so much better with more efficient management.
