Finally the Jungle Bird! I was alerted to this place opening by a friend of mine and was counting down until I could get out to Sacramento. So glad the hype delivered! The Location and Interior Down on J Street in the middle of the bustling night life of Downtown Sacramento, Jungle Bird is a quintessential tiki bar. They hit all the best things I...

The Auto Show brought me into a cold cold Detroit in January. For the past few years I have been hoping that a tiki bar would re-emerge in Detroit. A long time ago there was Chin Tiki but then nothing since that closed in 1980, until Mutiny Bar kicked off the return of tiki in Detroit. The Location Not too far from downtown but still...

Count it among the hard to find places, hidden inside an office building or far from view on a higher floor, Wahtiki Island Lounge checks all these boxes. Once you find the discreet tiki at the building directory and climb a few floors in the elevator, it's a pristine lounge that awaits. Floral Lounge Nicely lit and very inviting, Wahtiki is reminiscent of Waikiki Beach,...

Just west of the strip, not far from the 15, lies Frankie's Tiki Room. A small, white, stand alone, single building on Charleston with a large sign out front beckoning one to enter. This little oasis far from the $18 rum and cokes, is the perfect example of a non-pretentious establishment that repels the snobbery of the dayclub/nightclub culture of Vegas. Blinded By The Light...

In the little corridor that leads to the back of Petco Park in San Diego is a little cache of some fun places. There is the Stone Brewing Tap Room (awesome) and Rareform Deli. Rareform is a simple but tasty Deli with ample seating and a great atmosphere. However, there is a secret that Rareform is hiding, Fairweather. The Location When you enter Rareform,...

Another Tiki Bar in LA! And Lono is another GOOD tiki bar in LA! Only opening in June of 2017, I was worried that it would be too crowded here so I chose a nice easy Sunday afternoon. This turned out to be a good choice as there were only a few people here. I think this is probably by best advice for popular Tiki...

Located in Downtown Orlando, right next to Lake Eola is Aku Aku. I had been intrigued by a couple tiki bars in downtown, Aku Aku being one of them. When you're staying in Lake Buena Vista it's quite a haul to get out there but I'm glad I did if for nothing but getting out of LBV for a while! The Location When we turned...

Before visiting New Orleans, I had researched a storied bar owned by famous Tiki historian, Beachbum Berry. I didn't research quite hard enough though! I was surprised to find that right around the corner was yet another tiki bar. A little hard to find in that you have to pay attention to the signs that lead you to the top but once you navigate the...

A pleasant summer's day in Minneapolis. Boy does it really bring out all of the locals to soak in the warm and temperate conditions that they so rarely get. And what a perfect place to enjoy them than by the side of the Mississippi River on the huge patio of Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge! Unassuming Exterior Driving by Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge, you'd think it...

The Queens Park Swizzle has become my favorite. For a long time it was the Three Dots and a Dash, but the frosty swizzle has over taken it. Concocted in the 1920's at the Queens Park Hotel in Trinidad, Angostura, has been lobbying to make the Queens Park Swizzle the official drink of Trinidad & Tobago. Angostura is famous for their namesake bitters and from what...
