Kahiki Chester

You walk down Watergate Street and spot the kind of place that makes you stop and look twice. Kahiki's got that playful tiki aesthetic that could easily tip into pastiche, but instead it feels genuinely fun and unpretentious. The drinks are the real deal—proper tropical cocktails built on proper technique, not just pineapple juice and regret. The staff know what they're doing, whether you're after a Mai Tai or asking them to surprise you. It's become a proper destination rather than something you stumble into by accident, though stumbling in is absolutely encouraged.
