Little River cocktail bar on the mezzanine of The Citadel, with drinks named after monsters and a trading-card menu, open until 02:00.

Bar Kaiju is a cocktail bar on the mezzanine of The Citadel food hall on NE 2nd Avenue in Little River. The theme is monsters from Asian cinema: every drink is named after a creature, and the menu comes as a set of collectable trading cards. It feels like a speakeasy, tucked above the food hall, and it is a local bar rather than a destination for tourists.

It opens from 18:00 to 01:00 on Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday and from 19:00 to 02:00 on Friday and Saturday, with the Bird Club pop-up running late at the weekend. It is closed on Monday. Not for you if you want a big night: it is a cocktail stop.

Known for

Monster-movie cocktail bar with each drink inspired by a legendary creature; No. 70 on North America's 50 Best Bars extended list in 2026.
