Hala-Kahiki Tiki Bar

The drink menu is bigger than a Dr. Seuss book! If there is a drink you are looking for, I am pretty sure they are going to have it. A sad panda is they only offer food during the weekend. Must be 21 or older.

Three times a year they have an art fair called Lowbrow Aloha where you can buy custom glassware, shrunken heads, clothing, jewelry, tikis and more! I have a blast and always want to buy everything. Check Lowbrow Aloha on Facebook to find the dates of the next show and details on the artists who will be there. [Carla, 08/29/2018]

Hala-Kahiki Tiki Bar

Go early, close to when they open - especially in the summer when their courtyard is open. They get crowded and the wait can be long.

Hala-Kahiki Tiki Bar

A diamond in a rough-and-ready prairie town called River Grove. They have a gift shop with tons of trinkets and a great ambiance.

Sadly, they do not allow kids. The staff are very polite when you don't try to bring kids in. Overall, nice place.

Go early (before 9pm). Parking is limited and you don't want to wait outside in line in the cold of a Chicago winter!
