Island Paddler's Bar — Restaurant in Chatan

Its nice to have a beach bar... A concept the Japanese don't seem to understand normally..

But unfortunately the drinks are pretty weak... For example: I bought their "mega" bucket which is 3000yen/ 2000yen with the current discount (for no mint available on the island it seems) but it can be 4000 yen for the fruit versions.

To be honest, I watched them make it and its only like 1/3 of a baccardi bottle for like 10 drinks... Sorry but a baccardi bottle, especially wholesale, is less than 3500 yen.

So for 2000-4000yen per bucket. I would like at least half a...

Give me 1 margarita…🎶

But in all honesty, the mojitos here are great every. single. time. Definitely worth the money spent and the stress of trying to figure out when they are actually open. 😅

Their chicken tenders and pizza are amazing too. Great snacking food before you end up inevitably laying on your stomach on the sidewalk trying to lure the stray cats to play with you.

Oh, make sure...

I didn’t get food here but got drinks. Service was very slow and the drinks were neutral. Nothing to rave about or dislike. They did have music blasting from giant speakers which made it nearly impossible to have a conversation while you waited to order or also wait on what you ordered. Location is top notch though.

Might not go again but glad I tried. Oh and it’s cash only!!! Found that out...
