A South Seas Escape
Experience a unique, world-class immersive experience for friends, co-workers, or a romantic escape.
Our three-story urban oasis features an immersive two-story dining and drinking experience designed to transport guests to a distant tropical paradise bathed in perpetual twilight. Our third floor, opening in late 2020, will include boutique lodging that carries on our tiki theme.
Max’s features an original interior design from Bamboo Ben and Notch Gonzalez, two of the best-known tiki artisans in the world, along with a giant collection of vintage and modern tiki art and decor.
Fresh Drinks of Paradise
Our cocktail recipes are created by Martin Cate, one of Max’s founders and owners. Martin’s book, “Smuggler’s Cove: Exotic Cocktails, Rum, and the Cult of Tiki” won a James Beard award in 2017 for best cocktail book. He’s also an internationally-renowned rum expert who judges at many of the major international rum competitions.
