Beneath the bustle of Arcadia, UnderTow drops you into an immersive world—an artisanal tropical speakeasy built within the hull of a 19th-century clipper ship. Designed by Barter & Shake Creative Hospitality, the decor features creaking timbers, portholes with animated ocean views, custom thunderstorm sound effects, and cargo‑crate accents that awaken your sense of adventure. Cocktails weave seamlessly into storytelling; menus aren’t just drink lists—they're chapters in a voyage, featuring rum-heavy classics, original, bold riffs in elaborate glassware, and multi-sensory presentations like the flaming Scorpion Bowl. The menu evolves like the sea—each iteration brings new narratives and flavors. Patrons can even join the Captain’s Keep program for rare rum allocations. UnderTow is compact—with just 44 seats—and operates in 90-minute reservation blocks, encouraging focused, theatrical enjoyment. It merges tiki tradition with theatrical sophistication: sound, visuals, cocktails, and space combine to make the bar feel like a scene lifted from a maritime fable. Critics and fans alike acclaim its immersive design and drink quality—some liken it to a Broadway-level experience. Even mocktail seekers get themed options like the nautically inspired “Starboard and Steady.”
