We’re trying to create a beach party/Hawaiian theme with great food and excellent drink specials so you feel like you’re on vacation after a long day’s work.

Definitely the beach party theme, our big screen televisions, and our daily specials like the dollar margarita nights and the kids eat free on Monday (kids movies on the televisions).
