The end of happy hour snaquiri toast to Neil. If you dig the Mai Kai’s black Magic, try the Bone of Neil (I think it’s better and has a more interesting evolution).

Watched the staff batch cocktails and syrups while we drank, they were extremely friendly and answered all my annoying cocktail nerd questions with grace, was even able to sample their house falernum by itself. They are tiny, but they do things right.

And, of course, the show was wonderful. Highly recommended.

The food was outstanding. We shared a pupu platter with bacon-wrapped chicken, pepper/cassava cheese balls, egg rolls and crab Rangoon. Dinner was a massive plate of various grilled meats and dipping sauces (ribs, marinated rib eye, short rib). Everything was delicious.

Finally had an OG Black Magic, after being warned by the Molokai waitress that it’s “not for everyone.” Mai tai was delicious, but very sweet and passion fruit forward. Rum barrel was another hit, and another PF bomb (glad I like it). Just sad they don’t have their signature rum for sale until June.

Really just bummed they were out of coasters and barrel mugs.

Oblig cliff diving video.

Also visited Casa Bonita. Food was horrible, but it’s almost beside the point. More restaurants should be this fun to explore.

I mean, *chef’s kiss*

Afterwards went for a few cocktails at Lost Island Vibes nearby and a quick spice bag and a pint from the Irish Channel Pub before the long, dark ride home. It was a great birthday present trip from my s/o.
