Reviews for Hala Kahiki Lounge in River Grove, IL
Awsome drinks and atmosphere. I've been going here for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. They have an outside area... also. I always get the zombie and the blue lagoon martin and I'm happy all night. Read more
Hala Kahiki is easily my favorite tiki bar! It?s been around for many years but still looks timeless. It?s spacious, wonderfully... decorated, nicely dim, and just has such a great atmosphere. There?s also an outdoor patio. The drinks are fairly priced andreally pack a punch! They have an extensive drink menu and all the ones I?ve tried have been delicious. This place is justseriously the best and I love coming here with friends, on dates, and even work gatherings. It?s always a hit! They even have agift shop with some really cool stuff. An added perk about Hala Kahiki is being able to walk down the block to Gene & Jude?safter! Read more
We had a lovely time. First the decor is incredible. This place has a classic vibe much more old school than other tiki bars in... the area. That is because of that era. I loved the classic feel. Our service was excellent. Drinks were delicious but on thesweet side, which is my preference. Not a lot of options for snacks but that was clear from the website we ate before we came.What we ordered was tasty though. Absolutely worth the trip out to it. I will attempt to return next time I'm in the area. Read more
This is one of my new favorite tropical bars. The ambience, the decor, the menu ? it all evokes the same kind of feeling you... read about in the books that Beachbum Berry recalls from the Golden Age of tropical bars. And unlike those in the city, there?splenty of space and parking (plus more affordable drinks). And a huge selection, wow. Want to recreate the feeling at home? Theyhave a gift shop, too! Love this place, can?t wait to come back! Read more
I rarely drink and only been to a bar 4 times in my life so far. 2 out of the 4 times were at Hala Kahiki in 2021 and both has... been such a joy. For my 2nd visit in December. My buddies and I were there for 4 hours and played cards. I felt no judgementfrom anyone there and it was a fun time. Our server, Kaira, was so friendly and awesome!!! I remember it was her 5th night thereand I hope she is still there. The drinks tasted so good!! My favorite so far is the Lava Flow (the one with the foam). Tastelike a milkshake and brightens up the soul. We also did the those fire shots (forgot the name and sadly no pictures) and wassuch a cool experience to drink a shot that was actually on fire! Highly recommended this place. Chill vibe and great service.Definitely will be back soon. Read more
