Island Party Hut: A Tropical Oasis on the Chicago Riverwalk

Nice place feels like you are on an island. Tiki bar with quick bites Great drinks and food was good. Service at the bar was impeccable and welcoming but the servers were standing around not paying attention to the customers. It was very hot but if it wasn't for us getting their attention they would not come to our table. There was a solo live band playing nice jams. All in all a great spot to eat drink play games and socialize

Great little riverside spot for games, music, food, and drinks. It was a warm, sunny day when I stopped in and they were playing a Jimmy Buffett tune...perfect for ordering a "boat drink" and enjoying the breeze. It's basically an outdoor bar, but with plenty of games and activities for young and old. Very enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to visiting again.

We love coming here when we walk on the Riverwalk. It’s a chill place with good drinks. My doggies love it here, as you can see Gio likes the big chair

We did the R&B cruise and the best part was Q at the bar. Customer service is beyond exceptional. I wish everywhere I visited had a Q. Thank you for the great service to make this tour unforgettable for my friends and I

Absolutely love this fun venue right on the famous Chicago Riverwalk. We have been coming here for years and I have to post a review now because they have done so many wonderful renovations to the entire Island Party Hut area. They have upgraded their bars as well as the location to purchase tickets for their Tiki boat cruise. We were here on a Friday afternoon and we had so much fun. Danny at the bar was welcoming and made us really great cocktails. Lots of food to pick from. They have lots more seating, some in the shade and some in the sun. They also have Baggo and lawn toss games.

Loved this place purely cause of our bartender, Gator. Made us incredible drinks and really had us laughing too. Love this place, wish there was slightly more decor though, like palm trees or pool floaties or beach lamps.

Cool casual spot for drinks by the water! They have a bunch of picnic style tables you can sit at and enjoy the view of the river. Came here Saturday afternoon—it was warm weather so everywhere along the Riverwalk was packed! The line for drinks here was super long and took a while. They offer “bucket” drinks for $27 which is great—roughly triple the amount (if not more) of just a regular size drink which is $15! Food options are limited but they do offers a few snack options.
