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
Looks very Key West to me. I say gay bar!!!
DIBS, re: April 12 – I don’t know, I thought 5 and a half months seems about right. The limbo thing really makes me question the judgement of the managers. Maybe it’ll last longer, who knows? They could add fire dancing on Tuesday nights and free hair braiding on Wednesdays.
Excellent, I see Biff has launched the official deathwatch.
I’m guessing it’s gone by March 28th.
Time to start the new betting pool: what will rise from the rum-soaked ashes to replace it?
I can’t imagine this space at all. The back of Lookout Hill? Where do you enter from? Seems odd…so what will go into the space of Lookout Hill if this is in the back?
Why April 12??
My over/under that this survives is April 12, 2009 and I’m taking the under.
Can you spend an extra $5 and get your daquiri in a giant commemorative lime green or hot pink glass?
So far it does seem to just be the back part of the former Lookout Hill (on President, off the Avenue). I didn’t go in, but it looked to me like it had the potential to be one of those rare, transporting kind of places. I hope it’s good and not too overpriced. Maybe Brownstoner will revisit it after folks have a chance to try it?
No wet T-shirt contest??
Umm, limbo contests and ladies’ night?
What is this, Daytona Beach?
Lame.
