Max’s South Seas Hideaway
9 Aug 2025
The main goal of the road trip - celebrating Star one year post chemo! I was a bit nerveous that after years of wanting to visit (From before Covid) it might dissapoint - it did not - Macey upstairs on Saturday and Jacob downstairs on Sunday were both wonderful, the food was great, the drinks AMAZING. We stayed at the Hilton Canopy a block and a half away (Photo of Max's from our room) Highly recomended.
We will be back!

This is undoubtedly one of the finest tiki bars in the world.

From their website:
"Experience a unique, world-class immersive experience for friends, co-workers, or a romantic escape.
Our two-story urban oasis features an immersive dining and drinking experience designed to transport guests to a distant tropical paradise bathed in perpetual twilight.
