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...

Hula's Island Grill is a small chain of two restaurants around the Monterey Bay in California. While I had actually been to the location in Monterey, I recently went to both locations. Thought now with both fresh in memory, would be appropriate to get them both onto the Tiki Hut. Santa Cruz The Santa Cruz location, is in an area that I somewhat assume is a downtown-esque...

Bootlegger Tiki, quietly hidden behind an attached coffee shop, is located in the former location of an original Don The Beachcombers bar. In fact, they'll point out inside the bamboo pole at the right of the bar which remains from Don's. It's fitting and complement to the legacy of DTB that Bootleggers is here, not just because it's a Tiki Bar, but because it is...

Hidden behind a blacked out window in the Fillmore District of San Francisco, Smuggler's Cove is truly the center of the Tiki Drink resurgence. The menu here is quite daunting and it could take a newbie some time to land on something. But fret not! The bartenders and staff here are more than ready to help find something to satiate your tastes. Plus for the...

Named after one of Don The Beachcomber's creations, Test Pilot has finally answered the (mine) call for a Tiki Bar in Santa Barbara. I have been waiting for someone to fill the void and thankfully I was not disappointed. Taking the space of a former wine bar, it's only a few feet from State Street. It's even on the beach side of the train tracks...

Wow. No really. Wow! For most of spring and into summer last year I was anxiously awaiting any news of Martin Cate's new outpost. Cate is responsible for Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco. After visiting Smuggler's, I had high HIGH expectations for False Idol. As the first word of this post said, yeah. Reservations I can't speak to weeknights, but if you are going to visit...

Update 10-01-2017: New menu. Lots of options compared to before. Haven't had a crack at anything new yet but looks pretty awesome! Continuing a trend of new tiki bars opening, the Royal Hawaiian in Laguna Beach originally opened way back in 1947. it closed a few years ago and, after a renovation, has reopened as a pretty great...

UPDATE 4/2018 - Don's closed its doors in April 2018. Their instagram feed promises that they are searching for a new location after they were pushed out by high rent from a developer looking to build condos. One of the first Tiki Bars I went to and certainly one of the best if not the biggest, Don The Beachcomber in Sunset Beach is named after...
