SipSip Calypso Rum Bar

Cute rooftop bar, friendly servers, food was delicious, and the music was great! We will definitely be back.

The views and atmosphere alone are amazing however, ever since this place has started getting popular their service and prices have gotten out of hand! I used to come for happy hour a lot because it was great! However, last happy hour cost me $27 for a spicy margarita….Absolutely ridiculous! They also don’t give you an itemized receipt so beware! The whole point of happy hour is a discount….will never be back for happy hour. Go spend your money at every other place in the grove!!

Went to SipSip for a couple drinks before dinner during their happy hour. We ordered a couple including a Mai Tai, described on the menu as Appleton Estate VX (Appleton doesn't have a five year, and a five year would just be V, must be a typo for the 15 year), Wrey & Nephew over proof, orgeat, lime, rock syrup, Curacao. That sounds like the perfect Mai Tai. Unfortunately, I got Goslings, Bacardi, COCONUT, lime, and triple sec, not a Mai Tai. That's a bait and switch (I think I just named the drink he made). When I asked about the orgeat, one bartender told me he would never put that in a Mai Tai and instead use coconut rum, it's Florida. They had five or six bartenders and one finally knew how to make it correctly although they didn't stock the rums listed on the menu. When the bill came, they charged full price for the drinks, not the happy hour price. On the way out of the hotel I complained to the hotel manager, he got the food manager who is completely inexperienced and let me leave without even a sorry. Owning a restaurant myself I know not to let a customer leave upset, give them a reason to come back with maybe a free round of drinks or some kind of discount in the future, it's a lot cheaper than losing all the business from the bad word of mouth. I told everyone I talked to about the bad drinks and a couple will see it here. EDIT: Thank you for the clarification on the rum. I wasn't aware Appleton made a blended rum. They don't have it on their website, only the nice rums they make. I'm not sure how I forgot to mention that a "rum bar" should have a bigger selection of rum, 6 or 7 is a joke.

Such a cute place and great vibe!

Recommend rum based drinks

Nice drinks, best fries I ever had!

Not easy place to find. Staff very unfriendly, unapproachable, and I'll informed on sponsored activities. The same for hotel staff. Parking was difficult and crowded. The restaurant staff was very nice, friendly staff helpful. And English speaking!!!
