Cabana Bar is described as a “Latin American beachside bar,” replete with tiki hut bar, driftwood mirror, wave mural and snacks including Peruvian anticuchos skewers, spicy chile de arbol popcorn and oyster empanadas. It opens tonight at 648 President Street, at 5th Avenue. Here’s a sample of their signature cocktails: Bonfire Bowl (tropical rum punch in a flaming bowl); fresh strawberry margarita; and the Montecristo, 12-year-old rum martini, shaken with Combier. Soon they’ll have shuffleboard, limbo contests and ladies’ night. GMAP
Wow oliverr…first post and you come out swinging for Cabana Bar that “ROCKS” with “totally on his game” Carlos, the bartender? Plants like you make me want to stay away.
All your whining made me curious, so I just spent the last hour + there and I must say…Cabana Bar ROCKS. The bartender, Carlos was totally on his game (and pouring lots of fun free shots) and the place is totally cool, yet totally cute. I recommend you all stop typing and check it out. I’m heading back on Friday for Halloween…it is about time 5th Avenue got a cool bar!!!
“The limbo thing really makes me question the judgement of the managers.”
The thing that really makes me question the judgement of the managers is the idea of opening a “tiki bar” just in time for winter. Have fun trying to offer the ambiance of a tropical escape when there is snow covering the glass roof and you get blasted by icy cold air everytime someone walks in the door.
Nothing makes you feel more tropical than a room full of people wearing thick sweaters, no?
Maybe they’ll give out Mardi Gras beads
DIBS…you stole my fantasy.
Does the G train stop nearby??
looks like fun!
Scene 1, Take 12. Nightstick out, Officer Rodriguez…..
I inserted my own little fantasy in there by naming him Officer Rodriguez. Don’t come down on me with lots of PC crap!!! 🙂
