Such a fun and unique experience in South Park. Service was great, food and drinks are all vegan and so so tasty (I am not vegan or vegetarian). The cocktails are festive and fun and the whole vibe there is just incredible. Make sure to make a reservation in an advance and show up on time since each reservation is only 90mins long!

This place is so fun and tripping. Everyone has to come at least once! Whoever designed the interior is a mad genius and the drinks are a perfect match. Everything is so well thought out. Great experience!

The COOLEST immersive bar experience that feels like going to another planet. Loved the menu that was designed like a spaceship manual!! The atmosphere is so cool, the service is friendly and quick, and the drinks are strong and delicious. Highly recommend!! Super fun stop and nothing like I’ve ever experienced before.

We thought it was closed when driving by but as we got closer you can hear the music. The atmosphere was lovely. Truly felt like you were in a space ship either at the bar or tables it was great service. Our bartender was very informative on the kitchen closing making sure we didn’t need food and what drinks would be bitter or sweet. The menu shows you how much you may get drunk depending on what you drink.

This is a 6 star bar easily. Just can’t rate it higher. Drinks are perfect, super strong, atmosphere is great. Even though it gives HR Geiger vibes this is top tier tiki through and through and I would say easily one of the best in the world. The staff were all wonderful. It was so good we bought two glasses. This is gonna be a permanent addition to visiting SD.

This place was incredible! As soon as we walked in we were blown away by the incredible attention to detail to the space like scenery. Our server was so friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was great for a family get together. The cocktails were “out of this world”. Definitely book in advance!

This place is AWESOME! We didnt have reservations but still managed to get in with a party of 2 on a Saturday night. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful and the drinks were so well thought out and unique. The presentation of them is stunning and is so fitting with the detailed decor. Everywhere you look is entirely detailed, its incredibly impressive. I would absolutely come here again and it was worth a bit of a wait to get in, but if you can make reservations in advance!

Very nice space themed restaurant the menu was so cute. I love that it’s vegan cuisine but I do wish they had some sort of meat option. Nonetheless the vegan dishes were very delicious and well seasoned. Drink was cute and delicious. I recommend a reservation as it got super busy in the evening.
