“ For my Alameda Restaurant Week coverage, I couldnt skip Forbidden Island, which might be the best place to have a drink in Alameda. Its the most fun spot without a doubt. The bartenders are salty in a good way, adding character to the experience. The tiki statues and garden out back create an immersive atmosphere. Just watch how many drinks you have you might find yourself underwater if youre not careful with their potent cocktails. ”

“ Cute little bar in a residential area. If you drive by too quickly, you might miss it. I visited with a few friends on a Saturday evening and had a very nice time on the outside patio. I tried the chambolada and the rum barrel and one friend tried the hurricane. All of the drinks were good and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. I highly recommend reservations. ”

“ Great tiki bar with inside and outdoor spaces, make a reservation for indoor seating! Small food menu, which includes several vegetarian options, and extensive tiki drink selection. We go here often and the staff is welcoming and friendly. Theres always good music and I highly recommend checking it out! ”

“ I had forgotten how much I love Tiki Bars until I visited Forbidden Island. It has it all. A large and imaginative list of cocktails. A dark indoor section with bar, booths, and funky decor. A large, lush, shady, dogfriendly patio. Mix the above with attentive servers and a relaxing vibe. ”

“ Heck yeah. Everything about this place is awesome. Put faith in your server and let them craft your cocktail. ”

“ Amazing place, best tiki bar Ive been to period. Good vibes great staff with a soul and personality. No legit meals but the snacks are tasty and complement the theme well. If youre going alcohol free they do have an assortment of their drinks that you can get sans booze which is awesome no weird side menu and those are honestly great in their own right too! Try to come here every time Im in the area D ”

“ Woooo what an ambiance. Lovely place. Small but cute. Do reservations before you go otherwise getting a table will be difficult since its always full. Loved their drink menu and many options. My favorite was Chi Chi. The side food was good to Guatemala with chips that were so fresh and the fries were very crispy. The service was not that great since . We asked for a spoon and they got us almost after an hour. Otherwise this place is a must go place. ”

“ Posted a review already. Just incase it didnt show I will do it again My husband found this little place while I was on a travel nurse assignment. It is a fun and quirky place. Both indoor and outdoor seating, large variety of fun tiki drinks, small bites menu. They were setting up for a DJ. You can do a walkin, but reservations are highly recommended. ”
