Eastern Palace Club — Restaurant in Hazel Park

If you want a chill laid back down to earth bar that not only cares about you and their staff. Don’t go to boozys across the street!! The atmosphere has a wonderful tropical Asian Pacific Islander vibe with a nice Hawaiian aesthetic touch I was looking for to make my rainbow paradise cocktail for my birthday on pride month! Barbara was the first best bartender I ever had and was able to make my drink VERY DELICIOUS. House of shamrocks kicked me out for being black and a pokemon player. Boozys had an average ghetto atmosphere with some random jealous black girl cursing next to my ear with smelly seafood im allergic to. Boozys couldn’t make my drink but Barbara mastered it with not even with the right ingredients!! She mastered the flavor and technique of my Tiger fursonas tropical drinks and actually made my dreams and pride month come true! Making it a very special day of my last days of the heatwaves in June! If you like rock or anything and anything Japanese Korean or Asian related go there! James has been trying to make it a Pokémon stop and he actually did! Can’t wait to try the barbecue next night Barbara when I saw the lotus flavor I got really excited because you guys have the perfect pokestop for me to get some Korean barbecued beef! I LOVE IT HERE AND TARO THE BANTAM GUAR BAKER WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK TOMORROW! I made friends with not just 2 of the customers but Barbara the bartender as well! BLOOD ISN’T THICKER THAN WATER AND YOU WILL DEFINITELY FIND BEAUTIFUL WATERY BAR TABLES THERE! A perfect bar for water Pokémon lures! And I’m dying for Karaoke night! Unlike grass lures for shamrock for people who get way too drunk and rude to people tying to talk to the manager pretending they work there when...

Walking in the door here I immediately felt like I had been transported back to when I had just gotten off a cruise ship in Key West! From the huge ocean screen, to the individual tiki huts set up indoors with couch loungers and island decor, this place is truly an island its own in the midst of a michigan winter! I legit felt like I was on vacation for the short time I was here. They have free play old school arcade games including Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, Skee Ball, pinball and even a pool table. It’s mostly just a bar, but I actually came here for the bbq, which was under a different business name on google, so the only hiccup really was trying to find Blue Nile bbq which is actually inside the bar. The smoked bbq was my second favorite in Michigan, which is amazing btw because I’m super picky about my bbq. They had fall off the bone ribs and tasty brisket. The staff were all super chill and super friendly. We felt right at home and very welcome here. The weird part is, the name of the place does not match the vibe here. I have a feeling a change in name and some lights outdoors to highlight the Caribbean vibe with outdoor decor would bring a heavy crowd here. For now, however, this is another diamond...

This tiki bar has the tiki decor and fun atmosphere down. All of us loved being transported immediately to a kitschy tropical setting the moment we walked in. The companion business that shares the space and runs a kitchen there, Smoked Lotus BBQ, is beyond fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about Smoked Lotus BBQ. We ordered an array of the smoked meats and sides. Everyone loved every delicious bite. I especially enjoyed the Tallow Fried Potatoes and the Pig Candy sandwich. The portions were very large. The one negative, and it is a big one, is that the tiki drinks are not very good. They have a great sounding menu of drinks but the execution is way off. Our group of seven had 2 different kinds of margaritas, white sangria, Guinness, and a yellow bird. The only one of these that was delicious was the Guinness. For this to be a place that people want to return to again and again, the drinks need a lot of improvement. We had a lot of fun playing shuffleboard and hanging out in this festive bar. We hope that the next time we visit, the tiki drinks will have undergone...
