Our Story

The Tiki Snack Shack has been an exciting venture a long time in the making for Founder and CEO, Pablo Suarez, the "Pablo" in "Pablo's Tiki Snack Shack". Originally hailing from Chile, Pablo has been in Monroe Harbor since 2012 as the CEO of the Chicago TikiBoat - a premier party boat Chicagoans are able to rent for an unforgettable experience. 

​

With the success of his Tiki-themed boat, Pablo thought it was time to bring a taste of the tropics to the Harbor. Pablo's Tiki Snack Shack opened in 2017 as the first floating kitchen in Chicago serving delicious tropical food and, later, drinks like Mai Thais and Margaritas on the his patio and bar "the Bar.ge".
