My friend and I got a Groupon to do the bottomless mimosas at the Island Party Hut, which each comes with an order of French toast sticks. The staff were very lovely, they let us sub one of the French toast sticks for a thing of chips and salsa. Which was a good deal since the French toast sticks were only four pieces (calling them a basket is generous lol). But the snacks were a fun accompaniment to the main event of unlimited mimosas for a fixed time. Overall a good deal, and I enjoyed being by the riverwalk and the various games they had available (including cornhole and connect four). If you're looking to drink by the riverwalk without breaking the bank, I definitely recommend this. Thank you to the staff and bartenders for being so fun and nice.

This is more of a party complex that is located right off of the RIverwalk. They have a lot going on and the place is huge. First, they have various sized tiki party boats that you can charter. They have games available like large Connect 4, Jenga, hook and ring toss, and of course corn hole. There is tons of seating, but it is all outdoors. They have a few bars that they can open, depending on the crowd. There are a few televisions out there that almost always have sports on. They have your favorite tropical cocktails and some of their own. I will note that they come in plastic cups and not tiki cups, which is fine by me. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. They did not have table service during my visit and I had to go up to the bar to place my orders. They have some savory drinks. I would recommend the Tipsy Mermaid and Mango Tango, but it looks like you really cannot go wrong with whatever you pick They also offer food such as wings, burgers, chicken sandwiches tacos, pizza, wraps, and brats. I ordered an island Party Dog, which came with some chips. It took about 10 minutes for my food to be ready. And it was Ok, nothing special. It was laking in the flavor department for sure. Just so you are not surprised, when it starts to get dark, large rats start coming out of the bushes and running around. They have little fear and will run right by you. You may also experience a jogger running through the area to avoid people walking the Riverwalk. This would be a nice venue for a private event or corporate party. I enjoyed my time here, enjoying my beverage, while watching people and watercraft go by on the Chicago River. I hope to make it back on my next visit to Chi-town.

Went on a Sunday afternoon boat ride around the lakefront and it was beautiful! Great weather, cold drinks, and a good staff! The bartender was good as well everyone on the boat was definitely feeling themselves lol a little unorganized with boarding and unboarding and also wanted to hear a bit about the city but it was still a good experience.

Island Party Hut is my go-to spot for enjoying the outdoors with a fantastic view of the river. Located just a stone's throw from my apartment, this lively tiki bar offers a perfect blend of casual eats, music, and outdoor games. Whether it's table tennis, Jenga, or cornhole, there's always something fun to do here. Pretty much every other weekend, my friends and I hang out here for a couple of drinks and some games. The atmosphere is always vibrant, and the Mai Tai has become my regular order--it's absolutely good! If you're looking for a relaxed, fun spot by the river, I highly recommend Island Party Hut.

Island Party Hut in Chicago is known for its fun, tropical themed ambiance and is a popular spot for casual dining and social gatherings. I visited this restaurant in June of 2024 on a bright and sunny day. It was a big crowd of people, but the customer service was still good and quick. I had tiki drinks and salsa and chips that we're tasty. There were live music and entertainment. This restaurant has a waterfront location that offerings a beautiful view of the city. It is a great place to hang out with friends and family if you enjoy hangout outdoors with bugs and the sun beaming down on you. I would definitely hang out here again.

Island party hut is our favorite casual hangout place to swing by during summers. There is literally no cap on the seating as they have plenty of it. The service is typically fast, regardless of it being just cocktails or food. Their mai tai is my favorite. They have a wide range of beers on tap too. I love how you can see the fireworks from here while sipping away your cocktails. They also have bags for us to play. Such a fun place and definitely one of my favorites.

This is my go-to place to enjoy a couple of drinks and enjoy playing corn hole or jenga with my folks on a Summer evening. On my recent visit, my friend and I ordered Mango Tango and Mai Tai. The drinks were very refreshing and a good fitting for warm summer evening. They are usually packed during weekends but have an ample space so getting a table is not that difficult. I have not tried their food so cannot comment on it but they serve light snacks typically. They have a wide range of non-alcoholic drinks as well, I have not tried yet but will surely try next time. Give this place a try to enjoy Summer drinks and have a good time!

We had a work outing here and it was a cute spot for an event like that! I love anything on the Riverwalk because it's one of my favorite places in Chicago. It's a little further down, so it's not as much traffic as if you were to go to other Riverwalk places like Tiny Tapp. They have games, like bags, jumbo jenga, connect 4, etc. They allowed us to cater food and bring it in and do a wristband deal for an open bar. I am so glad that all of the tables have umbrellas because it started pouring when we were there and the umbrellas were able to keep us all dry! Would definitely recommend!

Finally! There's a large outdoor venue with games. Bags (or cornhole if you prefer), HUGE connect four, and then this game where you swing a string at a hook? It's pretty big outside, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were more things to do and I just didn't get around to it. Besides from the activities, Island Party Hut have a decently sized speciality drink menu with other beer and wine options. Not the largest draft selection, but it did the trick. The cool thing is, you get the drinks in a hut! Talk about a fitting business name. For food, my group got chips and salsa (which was my favorite thing- salsa seemed fresh!), margarita and pepperoni pizza (not too shabby), and the nachos (classic messy goodness). The food wasn't highlight of the experience with all the games and drinks to choose from. Good for snacking though! Island Party Hut is a great space for bringing large groups to have a silly good time on the River. I'm excited to come back with a good group of friends and try some of the creative drinks!
