Recommend it for thise visiting #chicago staying in #rivernorth ### ytbossbae — 0.5/5 · Aug 27, 2024 We love the drink displays and the decorations of the Tiki bar. We came here pretty late so we did not make reservations, walked in right away, ordered at the bar and got seated. Technically, you could choose any table after certain hour. There are booths, tables, and bar, also another area at the entrance. Busy and crowded but fun vibes for sure! Highly recommended! I think if you wanna get the nice table and great service and eat then you should definitely make reservations. ### sophinchicago — 5.0/5 · Sep 6, 2024 A true Chicago staple and speakeasy down an alley.
