Whether they’re mixing tropical cocktails, keeping the music flowing, or making everyone feel like a regular, the team delivers the perfect blend of laid-back vibes and high-energy fun. Friendly, fast, and always ready with a smile, our staff creates the kind of atmosphere where strangers become friends and every night feels like a vacation on the river.

"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."

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.

"The food was so good. We were expecting just plain bar food but got so much more. The brat was grilled perfectly and the bun was toasted. The chicken sandwich was delicious and juicy. The staff were very friendly. And you can't get a better atmosphere than sitting on the river walk in a Tiki bar setting."

"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.Overall a good deal, and I enjoyed being by the riverwalk and the various games they had available (including cornhole and connect four)."
