Tonight, Friday will be the last night for Koko's Bartini. We don't have the staff to open on Saturday. So please be patient tonight as it will be overly busy.
Thank you for everyones support for the past 3 years. We hope you've
enjoyed Koko's Bartini as much as we have serving you with great designer martinis and Chef's flavorful dishes.
But as previously stated Covid 19 and now high inflation has put the final nail in the coffin.
