| - Hidden Harbor not only makes me want to go to the Islands, but it also gets me to Squirrel Hill. While I don't mind SH at all, I never really made the trek over there. Everything changed when Hidden Harbor opened. Maybe it was the fun tropical feel, or the incredibly friendly staff, but let's get down to it... the cocktails keep me coming back!
I will preface this by saying I'm not a super sweet drink fan. If a drink is sweet, it must have the perfect amount of booze and mixers to make a well balanced cocktail. Most times it's syrupy sweet grossness. You will not get that here. What you will get is a well crafted, thoughtful drink that combines the perfect balance of taste and flair.
And talk about flair, every single drink comes with some sort of accoutrement, including of course, an umbrella, edible flowers and awesome stirrers you can take home. I currently have about 5 shark stirrers in my home collection now. So you can tell how much I've come here!
My fave drink is the Tropic Thunder, which is a five rum concoction that is not for the light hearted. You can also get group drinks that serve 2-4 people if you're good at sharing! I also enjoy the classic Zombie. All drinks come in some fun glass or fish container (seriously).
I challenge you to go here and not have a good time!
