    Secret Island was Tikitastic! From the moment you walk down those stairs and round the corner you feel like you are going on an adventure. We went on a Thursday right when they opened so we could take advantage of the happy hour which is from 5-6. The drinks are spot on with their own unique takes and recipes. So many different drinks to try. I especially enjoyed the Nui Nui and their signature drink Pele's Fire. Food is great as well, the Loco Moco was delicious. The atmosphere is classic Tiki with a little modern infused here and there. They have a stage for live entertainment too. If you love Tiki or just great drinks this is a must.

    What a fun secret tiki place! You go down the stairs, and you immediately are greeted by a flash of thunder and lightning (startled me a bit at first) in a classic tiki setting. It felt like walking into a Disney ride! Their decor inside the restaurant is amazing as well. It really immerses you in the experience. I was excited immediately and really happy with our choice to visit. Their drinks are amazing, and we are picky drinkers (especially when it comes to tiki drinks). So the former reviews talking about poor quality drinks, or not enough booze? They must have solved the problem. We enjoyed three drinks, because they are just so good. We enjoyed Peleโ€™s fire, the Painkiller, and the Sea Foam. All of them were yummy, but I liked the sea foam and the painkiller the most. And they are served in classic tiki glasses that are Instagram worthy. Not to mention, their staff and bartenders know their beverages, and will help you decide what to order. And they have live music and DJโ€™s! Itโ€™s a great place that we really enjoyed visiting.

    It's a hidden gem! Located right below Shannon's. The ambiance was on point for a Thursday night filled with patrons, booze and good tiki music! Our bartender has wonderful selections. We had the chi chi and roadrunner both which were scrumptious

    Amazing "secret" tiki bar below Shannon's on Pine in DT LB! Awesome cocktails, great food menu, Surf/Rockabilly live music, and a true tiki bar experience (complete with waterfalls, a lava floor, tropical storm effects, and Pele's throne)! A must-do in LBC!

    Secret Tiki was just what we needed on a Saturday night! Walk down the stairs of Shannon's and you're immediately transported to a tropical cove. The DJs spinning reggae tunes, bar and tables packed with customers enjoying the vibe. We were lucky enough to get a table in the back and were able to people watch and enjoy the ambience of the bar. Drinks were strong, delicious and of a wide variety. We ordered a Rum Runner and Pink Panther and they did not disappoint! For food, the chicken wings are really chicken tenders and tasty nonetheless as well as a chicken pineapple bowl. This will be a spot to revisit for a good chill time.

    What a fantastic find - excellent service, great atmosphere, and definitely a spot I'll be heading to again! On a Friday we were strolling along Pine when we decided to go to Shannon's. As we walked up, I noticed a stairwell headed down, and stumbled on a complete gem! Walking inside the murals and decor takes you far away from Long Beach and into a little secret hideaway. The actual bar is gorgeous, and deeper into the venue there are plenty of tables and booths with a good size dance floor. Although Pine was busy, this place was alive while not overly crowded. There was a DJ and a casual but fun crowd the night we went, and often they have live music. The lighting effects are fun, and the bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. Best of all the drinks are fantastic and STRONG. The bartenders are also fast and courteous - moments after receiving my first drink and after just 1 sip, I pulled a menu towards my partner and inadvertently dropped my drink on the ground. Feeling like an idiot, I looked up and saw the bartender saw and was already making me a new one. Highly recommend!

    I really loved this place! The service was quite terrible but I'm not including that in my rating because it was an insanely busy night, they didn't even have enough dishware or menus. That being said, the cocktails were amazing, the food was great, and the live music was incredible. They were really jamming out and we had a great time!

    The atmosphere here was wonderful. They had a live band playing at the time we arrived (shy but fly with Steven Tyler). Our server Syerra was awesome as well. She was quick, and I never had to look for her. I ordered a paradise burger, which came with fries, I also ordered coconut shrimp and spring rolls. For drinks I ordered two zombie drinks! FYI, they're strong! But tasty๐Ÿ˜ I also ordered one puka punch, which wasn't so sweet but hit fast lol then I ordered a painkiller, which was like a Pina Colada but honestly...kinda tasted like an alcoholic Horchata๐Ÿคค very sweet ๐Ÿ‘Œ in total with two meals and 4 drinks the total came to about 110 great place in my opinion if you're in Long beach definitely check it out.

    I love this tiki restaurant. I went last week with my husband and son to check this place out. The decor is fun. So much to look at from the lava chair, floor, thatched roof booths, tropical ambiance, thunder and lightning sounds and the secret door you have to push to get in are just some of the cool features. We got there right when they opened at 1 and booked a reservation a couple hours earlier online. We had a booth waiting for us when we arrived. The staff was very friendly and Shawn the manager came over to introduce himself, which was great. Best part were the drinks. The bartender has a generous pour. I noticed earlier reviews about weak drinks, or lack of tiki drinks, but these were some of the best I have had outside of Hawaii. And I've been to Strongwater (also excellent drinks) and The Bamboo Club (weak drinks). The food menu is minimal, but it was fine for my family and the presentation of the food and drinks had those special touches. We will be back.

    Found this place by accident. We were heading into Shannon's and I saw some people walking down a dark unlit set of stairs and my nosy self decided to walk down there to see where these people were going. It was worth that dark eerie path followed but a ominous thunder and lighting entrance, only to pass the eye of the storm and into this underground oasis. The staff is inviting, drinks are unique and fit the theme. And best of all, live music. This place is a stark difference from Shannon's above.

    It was ok. No greeting by staff upon our entrance. No explanation of how to order and pay..do we seat ourselves?? A little communication would have been appreciated! I even had to go find a menu. Thank goodness a fellow patron let me know the drill. The fried rice was greasy af! Extremely small portions for the price.extremely disappointed, our first time here was so much better! The drinks were decent-thats what the 2 stars are for. Won't be back or recommend.

    Hidden under Shannonโ€™s. Didnโ€™t even notice the speakeasy entrance since the exit door was open ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ but the vibe was awesome! Very clean, seats were available, and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend, and definitely will return. Drinks were a little pricey, but they were good.

    Great hidden tiki bar that serves up that tiki vibe that you're craving. Aesthetic is point, loved the escapism quality of the clouds and storm sounds. Ordered sliders and fries, both were tasty, the ranch was amazing though. We ordered Mai Tais and they were okay, booze forward, could have been balanced a little better. Then ordered a pain killer and that was much better. Service was decent for a busy Friday night. The music is also a great touch to the overall theme. Would come back again and overall it was a great place.

    Went to this spot on a busy Saturday night, unfortunately the service wasn't great. Me and my date waited ( 25min) at our table no one checked on us, he instead went to bar to order our drinks and some fries. The decor is really cool along with the lighting effects. It's best to get there early, the place isn't that big get there at 6pm or 7pm is a good time. Food was good but we did wait another while for condiments. After waiting 15 min the waitress came back and said the " ranch dressing" was being made . Which I've never heard before but ok. Drinks were nice, not great. Nice to go visit atleast for the entertainment, it was worth watching!. Some Rockabilly band it was fun for the night. Probably would try again during the week less busy.

    This is a super cool bar. The drinks are good and the bartenders are helpful if you don't know what you want. The vibe inside is so cool with fake clouds and dim lighting and a "lava" floor that lights up. It's a super fun bar.
