Kaona Room
Kaona Room is a speakeasy attached to its older sibling, Esotico. And while Esotico is a more mainstream interpretation of a tiki bar that occasionally plays loud pop songs, Kaona Room is more of a classic tiki experience. Inside the dim space it’s all palm fronds and bamboo. Bartenders shake flammable spices onto cocktails as fake thunder plays through the speakers. Drinks are strong (and tasty). The whole experience makes you feel like you're in the hull of an old wooden ship—as a proper tiki bar should. Plus, there’s sometimes live music that makes the place feel a bit more romantic. This is a great spot to mix up date night drinks, or for whenever you feel like wearing a floral shirt and drinking rum.
