"Tucked away on the second floor of the Citadel in Little River, Bar Kaiju is a hidden cocktail spot that brings a touch of fantasy to the city’s nightlife. Dreamt up by Derek Stilmann, this speakeasy features a menu centered around mythical monsters from global folklore that showcases Stilmann’s creative approach to cocktail crafting. Each cocktail, artfully detailed in a graphic novel-style menu, pays homage to a different creature, from the infamous Godzilla to the mysterious Barbegazi. The bar’s atmosphere, with its red lighting and Japanese anime decor, adds to the allure, creating a space as intriguing as its drinks." - Olee Fowler
