Forbidden Island

Open

West Alameda, Alameda

"You have to get the Monkeypod. It's such a good one!" (Melanie Abrantes)
"Bring a buck to tuck into the ceiling!"
Take the ferry from SF for full island escapism

Forbidden Island blends tiki escapism with dive bar soul, featuring a dollar-bill ceiling and a skull-rated menu topping out at "five-skull" potency. Sip adventurous rum cocktails under thatched roofs or escape to the back patio.
