👍 This place is amazing and very memorable. Great decor and ambiance. Good service. Drinks are delicious. Very flavourful and creamy. They come with cute little toothpicks and umbrellas. They don’t have a big food menu, other than a couple of snacks like nachos. One less star because I’ve never been...

    Awesome little cocktail bar and lounge. They have a very unique and tasty drink menu with this Zombie cocktail just in time for Halloween. A great and very friendly and helpful staff. Also try their appetizers for a late night snack! I love the Tiki Bar theme it makes you feel like you are in Hawaii!

They don’t have a big food menu, other than a couple of snacks like nachos. One less star because I’ve never been charged the same $ for a virgin drink as for an alcoholic drink and I’ve dined all over the world. I’ve double checked with the server and that is the deal here.

    One of the employees running karaoke night was too drunk while just being a jerk and it took way too long to get drinks. They also charged for food that never arrive or ordered. Needs better and friendly staff. Better of going to a different bar if you want to enjoy your night.

    Façade of bar is appealing, and interior is completely different of what is expected (given the name "murder" backwards from the movie The Shining). Cool Hawaiian vibes, drinks were fancy and tasty. I had a Zombie and Mai Tai. Bartender was friendly.

    Drinks are STRONG, so be ready lol. The food is really amazing. I had the fish sandwich and it was cooked perfectly. The bun was toasted to a crispy perfection, and the flavor was great. My wife had the basket of fries with aioli and they were delicious and cooked perfectly as well. They have stepped up their game with the food since the last time we were in. It was good then but excellent now. We will be back for sure!

    This was our first visit, and we will definitely be back! The atmosphere inside is so relaxing...dimly lit and decorated in a fun Tiki theme, of course. There is also outdoor seating. Our drinks were delicious! So many to choose from. We didn't order food this time, but they do have a small menu of casual food choices.

    The Chi Chi is my favorite drink here, I had my 22nd here with my friends and everyone loved the vibe and the food. Best place to go if you want good drinks and a pretty scene to look at !

    Tiki vibe and the name holds true with red lighting dimly illuminating the curated interior decor. Serpentine bar and fun semi-private booth seating. Street parking, friendly service. Happy hour.

    The interior is so cute, great vibe. The drinks are pricey but they are also very unique and tasty

  • 5/5 Bryan S. 6 months ago on Google
    Fun tiki themed bar. $5 boozy slushies. Fancy tiki cocktails, fun tiki glassware (don't steal it!) Delicious fries both regular and sweet potato. Tasty dipping sauce. Jemma was so nice!

  • 3/5 Ryan S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a modest tiki bar. Some of the drinks are delicious, and some seem like they are just trying it out, not yet perfected. Seating is limited, and once we were turned away, it is not a place for a group to go.

  • 5/5 Ashlie Q. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is amazingly delicious! We got the painkiller, and the one pictured. We also got the coconut prawns, Caribbean fish burger, and pulled pork sandwich. The food was hot, had fresh ingredients, paired perfectly with the house sauce! The server we had Sunday night was quick, curtious, and checked in at the right times 😄 this place is now my go to for great drinks and food.

    Friendly staff and great vibe. The wife and myself enjoyed our drinks and can’t wait to head back again on our next trip across the border.

  • 5/5 Bimal S. 1 year ago on Google
    I've come here a couple of times just for the atmosphere. It's great.

  • 5/5 Chase S. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible atmosphere. The bartender was super nice about our inability to figure out if we were leaving or staying

  • 4/5 Tamara G. 1 year ago on Google
    The karaoke has terrible balance in the music to singing ratio. But the crowd is great and the drinks are strong?

  • 5/5 Jadey 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome spot, the ambiance is chill and the lighting is perfect; dim and sets a great mood. The $5 rum slushies are delicious and I'll be going back on a regular basis for those. Food is super tasty as well. The booths are so comfortable and the staff is super friendly. Love this spot

  • 2/5 Paul B. 1 year ago on Google
    Might have been nice...if served. We got seated at the bar, then sat and watched while multiple people behind the bar repeatedly walked by us without even acknowledging we were there. After 5-10 minutes of being ignored we left. Tip to restaurant : have the courtesy to acknowledge your customer even if you are busy or short staffed and there may be delay.

    Update: Truth be told I have a thing for anything tiki related. LOVE it! BUT YOUR DRINKS ARE TOO STRONG and not very flavorful. There, finally said it. Please work on the flavors, ingredients, mixes, etc. Again, love the place, drinks just taste like straight (cheap) alcohol. I do like that you expand3d the food menu too :) I like this place! It’s got a neat seating layout, a very cool design to the bar counter, And appropriate speaker music for the theme. And for like a dollar extra you could make any drink into a flaming drink — You gotta do it once! Some drinks come with animal shapes mirror fruit, and there a small menu has some gems on it like the jerk chicken wings and bacon wrapped avocado slices. But here’s why we get a four-star not a five star – – the food menu is too small even for a cocktail lounge. The other reason is that the cocktails are mixed too strong and I know that sounds crazy but I want to enjoy the flavor of all the ingredients in my cocktail not just the main ingredient. Other than those two little things the staff is friendly, it’s open late is simply got a cool vibe so what’s not to like?

    Red Rum makes my favorite cocktail in town, The Painkiller, and their coconut prawns with sweet and spicy sauce are unforgettable! Happy hour is Monday-Saturday until 6, you get $2 off tiki drinks and apps, and at $14/cocktail, it doesn't hurt...but then again, maybe that's the cocktail doing its job. Love the vibes, always get great service, only wish they did karaoke Saturday nights!
