    Hidden in plain sight, this pub has fabulous tropical drinks 🍹 and good food. It's small and cozy with a pirate ☠️ theme. Long list of homemade sauces, I highly recommend dipping tater tots into the garlic aioli. Popular with the locals, it can get busy at times and the food service hours are limited so check the website.

    Super cute place! Tiki drinks are pretty good. Fish and chips were pretty good, fries were super crispy. Buffalo cauliflower was good as well! Easy street parking.

    Unique place. Great atmosphere. Amazing servers and bartenders. Good service. I loved the flavor of my Old Fashion—just wasn’t too keen on the added ice. My “nachos” were pretty good with a seafood twist—enjoyed them but not sure I’ll order them again if I visit there again. Loved the whole vibe of this place. Definitely a place to visit.

    Quality food, fast and great service here. There are plenty of employees and food moves fast. Surprised with the good price being in cali. The menu is extensive and dishes are a combination of ethnic/ modern to classic with a perfect size. It is family friendly with a lot of youths/teens. Parking can be a pain, so allocate time for it and there is no outside seating. Its all indoor. Great place and was worth my visit. A+.

    1st time visiting. Family & i orderd some apps & entrees. Overall food was very good. Was disappointed when we ordered their special which was spam & mac n cheese rolls. No spam found. Otherwise atmosphere is great. Love the HALLOWEEN decor. They apparently have time limits on how long you can sit at table. Love that concept! Will definitely return.

    Overall a super cute place to try that’ll well definitely want to try again. I’m not going to lie, based on reviews my expectations were high. For the drinks and food we got I would say it’s marked up about 10 to 15% too high. The service was pretty good. The kitchen was running behind, so it took a little bit to get the food out. I got the salmon Thai curry, which was an unusual small portion for the price. If you’re going to come here to get a beverage, I recommend more of the pub style eats. I would say everything fell just a little be short of expectation, but definitely willing to try again because this place has promise!

    My new favorite spot in Burbank! Excellent food and cocktails, and our waitress was an utter delight! I had the special, which was a Kailua pork melt with Mac salad - in the sandwich! It worked so well! Get the Sticky Nomnoms and thank me later.

    Very unique original drinks. Love the house made grenadine. The food menu has a great selection. Bartenders are very nice and attentive. It is well lit, kind of wonder if dimming the lights would improve the atmosphere. All in all a very enjoyable tiki experience.

    Was passing by and glad I took the time to stop in to check out this nicely themed locale. My party sampled various festive drinks (Mai Tai, Saturn, Bird of Paradise, and Port in a Storm) as well as the homemade BBQ chips and dip. The drinks were very well made. The menu was extensive and looked very enticing; unfortunately we had just come from dining elsewhere and were rather full. The atmosphere was quite good, perhaps not so much Tiki but more of an Age-of-Sail piratical nautical theme with South Seas and Caribbean decor. I give particularly high marks for the variety of seating options, which included comfortable lounge chairs surrounding low tables, family-sized booths, ample standard bar seating, and even a two-person low-seating bar area compatible for those who may have mobility or balance issues or just prefer armchair seating. Restroom facilities were immaculate. Lastly - and I can't stress this enough - the music selection was entirely in theme with the South Seas and Caribbean vibe, yet ranging from surf to pop to jazz. And the volume was not set to destroy conversation. Well done!

    Food was really average and overpriced for what you received. Drinks were the same. Server was great but too heavy on the up sell and the bus boy was overing which made my guest uncomfortable. Decorations were way overdone but I get what they were trying for. I thought the table tent with house rules was hilarious. 90 minute limit to sitting at a table but then asking for our patience for a long wait time cause they have a small kitchen. When does the 90 minutes start? According to the receptionist, as soon as you sit down so you'd better eat fast.

    The ambiance of a tiki bar is top notch. The place really feels different from a typical bar and gives relaxed Caribbean vibes. We went late so we're limited to bar food or appetizers but everything we tried was delicious and priced well. My date had a peach mojito and said it was craft. The service was friendly and quick. The only thing I didn't like was that the waiter offered to-go sauces which I thought was a courtesy but come to find out they charge $1 each. Felt a little nickel and dimed but the rest made up for it. Will definitely be back again for their full dinner menu.

    This place is really fun with great food and drinks. The atmosphere is the best. I wasn't sure what to expect when coming here for a family birthday dinner as I came with a child and felt it probably wasn't the best idea for him to come. I was totally wrong. The staff was nice, saw other kids there and they had great options for everyone (adults and children). I ordered the poke for myself thinking it wouldn't be a lot based on pictures I saw and once again I was wrong. The portion was huge and amazing that everyone at our table kept picking at them. The drinks were so good as well. I ordered a virgin mojito (it was one of those days lol) and it was full of flavor. I highly recommend this place!!!

    Went in on a Wednesday night and it was pretty busy! Good cocktails, very well balanced. Food was good, but I wish they had some healthier options (more salads, maybe grilled fish tacos). The Caesar salad didn't say anything about being spicy, but it did have a little spice to. Cool vibes, cute lounge area. I don't remember any music. That would be nice.

    Delicious food and drinks, fun decor, and friendly service. I had the club and it was so good! I like that they have a variety of dipping sauces for the tots/fries and a variety of seasonings for the fries. We also tried both of the desserts which I would highly recommend, but the fried cookie dough balls were my favorite! This place is definitely worth checking out, but get there early because they get busy!

    Worth the wait. They were very crowded when we showed up. But we decided to wait it out for a table. Drinks are strong and tasty and the food was amazing.

    We only enjoyed the cocktails, and they were great! One of The best classic Mai Tai's, a slushy Painkiller that I wasn't sure I'd like (it's a slushy) it was Great! We also tried a Saturn. It's gin, housemade orgeat, housemade falernum, passion fruit syrup and fresh lemon. This drink was amazing fresh tasting a must try. Next time we will try the food. The atmosphere is super cool. It's like your on a pirate ship.

    Such a fun visit! I loved the pirate decorations and there's even a cute little lounge area. The bathroom had ambient ocean noises playing and was honestly a nice little oasis from the busy bustling restaurant. Staff was very attentive and kind. I appreciate the gender-neutral greeting of "hello friends!" Large selection of strong cocktails. I got the smash burger which was tasty, and the french fries are excellent. The fried cookie dough is absolutely heavenly - the kind of dessert where you need a nap afterwards. Excited to come back! :)

    Recently re opened after an extensive remodel. The food is, as ever, delish and varied. The seating however seems a little awkward now with a wide open mid floor that makes the Pub less cozy. The bar transformation into the prow of a ship is nonetheless quite stunning. Give it a try and DON'T miss out on the tempura green beans!

    Food was very good. The staff were wearing pirate shirts and were welcoming and knowledgeable. I really like it. We had the fried Brussel sprouts, onion rings and a couple of burgers. I had the cider which was great on a warm day. Parking was eady.

  • 5/5 Thomas K. 2 years ago on Google
    Arrived in time for happy hour, ordered onion rings, brussel sprouts, and the hot chicken sliders. The onion rings were top notch, this place must take care of their fryer and know how to use it, they onion rings weren’t greasy at all, and were crisp instead of soggy like most places are. The Brussel sprouts had amazing flavor, I had the lemon pepper option, and they were at a perfect crispness. The hot chicken sliders had a great heat, there was just a really strong flavor that took away from It in my opinion but everyone’s taste buds are different as well. Pictured is the pub burger entree .WOW. A larger size but not to the point where it’s just ridiculous. The flavor was out of this world, the sauces on top complimented the burger itself really well without taking away from the flavor of the meat. And to top everything off, our server was incredible, super attentive and helpful, extremely polite . This is definitely a place you’ll want to keep going back to.

    Wow such a great place to stumble upon. Staff was awesome. Food was outstanding. The scotch deviled eggs and spam Cubano make me want to do the drive back up here.

    Fun place. Loved my gluten free fried chicken sandwich and the cider on tap. Hubs was really enjoying his fish and chips.

  • 5/5 Sunil K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is unassuming from the outside. Once you get in though, it's a beautiful place with nice decor, a lovely bar and great vibes. They make some awesome Rum based cocktails. Their barfood is really good as well.

    Great decor throughout. The menu has plenty of options and everything was tasty. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The final touch was when the chef came by to ask if everything was good? Thanks!
