Forbidden Island - Alameda

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Always wanted to come here, and definitely worth it! Cocktails are delicious and STRONG! Haha, Great place for a tik bar! Who knew they had food! Made it even better, But the service was awesome! Definitely have to come back again.

Really cute tiki bar. Staff was helpful, friendly, and fast although maybe they were understaffed because I felt bad there was one person checking in guests who also took orders and ran the drinks to tables. There were other people working, but that one had some major hustle. I asked for a pretty drink and they brought me a Leilani Volcano. Soo pretty and yummy.

Went on a Saturday afternoon. Back patio was lovely, good shade, good vibes, very friendly and attentive service. We took our dog and the lovely staff brought him treats several times over. Drinks were delicious, I don't like too sweet and there were several options that fit my taste.

Forbidden Island is our absolute favorite bar. The atmosphere and the drinks are always spectacular but it’s the servers who really help to make this spot a stand out. We’ve been coming here for years and we like to bring our friends on the days Miami Dave works. Every drink and dish pairs best with M.D. signature side of sass. He’s practically a mind reader when it comes to drink orders. He’s suggested combos I never would have tried that have quickly become my favorites. He always finds the right combo to make your night. Come for the drinks . . . Stay because you’re having too much fun with Miami Dave.

I’m picky as fu*k and this place is awesome and really funky. They have three strengths of Painkillers! I thought I’d never have Painkillers since...
