Purple Orchid 221 Richmond Street, El Segundo, CA 90245

"Purple Orchid advertises itself as a tiki bar and there were certainly opportunities for some island fever-esque drinks to be had. My friend and I went ahead and ordered their Scorpion Bowl ($30) which you'd think we be done with as grown adults in our 30s. But of course, Bruins go hard so we had to enjoy one during happy hour times. Our drink was stiff, had the tiki umbrellas to boot, and was fun all around. The one drink that didn't really meet our expectations was the Singapore Sling. It wasn't red nor had much sweetness, so they either forgot the grenadine for ours or they chose to not use it for their version. So a hit for the bowl, a miss for the other drinks, but still a good spot to come to if you're in Downtown El Segundo and want to chill out with friends over a drink or two."

"Popular and crowded tiki bar but worth the trip. Drinks are unique and can only get them here! Always a good crowd. Def recommend!"

"The atmosphere and drinks are appealing. The card system is behind the times making it both uncomfortable and inconvenient. Locals welcome. Banks from out of town….. think again. Bar tender added she’d not invite us back bc our cards didn’t work. This is the only location in Cali where we had issues. Cool spot, but invest in a better card reader. Your loss, not mine. Another local spot has our money."

"Super chill spot. My bestie and I shared the funky monkey volcano drink. The lighting is dark but I liked it. Friendly people. The place is not too big but cozy. The decor is cool. A few pool tables towards the back. Pass the pool tables to the restroom. We had lots of fun!"
