🚢 1. Shipwrecked Paradise Island – Sacramento

🌴 A Jungle Pirate Oasis in Midtown
Nestled at 1510 16th Street in Midtown Sacramento, Shipwrecked Paradise Island transformed the former University of Beer into something wild—and wildly fun.

Expect house-made craft cocktails using fresh Central Valley citrus, exotic syrups, and imported rum. Classics like the 1944 Mai Tai and Painkiller share the stage with inventive creations like Zombie Jet Pilot (limit one per guest). Drinks come in authentic tiki mugs, garnished with flair and flair alone—without breaking the bank.

🍽️ Delicious Bites for Bundled Up Nights
While cocktails are the show’s stars, the eats hold their own. Get crunchy pork dumplings, veggie spring rolls, or Tiki Fries with truffle aioli before the kitchen closes each night at 11 PM

🗓️ Atmosphere & Events
Open Wed–Sun (closed Mon–Tue) from evenings into late—midnight to 1 AM depending on the day. The bar hosts mojito nights, live music, games, and lively events on weekend nights. It’s also a prime stop on Sacramento’s infamous Sac Brew Bike tour.
