    What an amazing bar, drinks are pretty good and I like the atmosphere and vibes. Well decorated and it’s always full. Cash and credit cards are accepted, except google pay and Apple Pay. But they do also have their own ATM inside.

    Best drinks I’ve ever had! Ray’s Mistake exceeds the hype! We also loved the Uga-Booga and the Zombie! The drinks are strong but taste amazing! I’m used to strong drinks tasting like gasoline, but Tiki-Ti makes perfect drinks that has ruined me for probably all other places that serve alcohol. Worth waiting to get in. It’s small so you may need to stand for a bit until seats open up. The decor is incredible, and the staff are great! We’re so excited to come back!

    One of the best bars in the world. And now they are open again! Ray’s Mistake named after the late father and grandfather of the current owners is fantastic. Ray worked at many places including the original Don the Beachcomber and invented many tiki cocktails. This place has seriously strong ties to the beginning of tiki in the 1930s.

    Spent a recent Thursday eve at this fine establishment. We were greeted with open arms even though we are Canadians. We spent many many Yankee bucks on drinks and merch. Loved this place! Met some of the local Thursday night crowd. I will be back!

    Great little tiki bar nestled on Sunset Blvd. It is very small so large parties ain't gonna work. They do not sell wine or beer and I wish they used fun tiki glasses for their drinks but alas they do not. Amazing vibe - the drinks are reasonably priced - bar tenders are friendly. Definitely a fun spot!

    Once again, Lucifer saw fit to tempt me into entering this rum soaked den of iniquity and, shedding my inhibitions, proceeded to get highly inebriated. Methinks the employees of this establishment are a bit too good at their job, as I have little recollection of that night's events. I hold them responsible for whatever shenanigans I got up to whilst I was in such a state, as I must assign blame to someone for my bad behaviour...

    This place is so small, yet exploding with energy. For a place so compact, they have my favorite decor in the area. Some drinks are interactive, so that's always fun! The bartenders are so personable and charismatic.

    I love a good tiki bar! I try to sniff out a good one in every big city that I visit. Thankfully, I live in LA and I found this one. I’ve been to three other tiki bars in the area and this is definitely my favorite one, so far! It’s super small, but we only had to wait about 20 minutes for two people to get in at around 6 o’clock on a Saturday. In short, they have a really nice selection of tiki drinks. We had three different varieties each and liked them all. They are very strong, so definitely drink responsibly! The decor is what I would expect from a tiki bar Dash cluttered and overdone! Makes for a great ambience. And, it’s actually a pretty cool vibe when they pull out the bull and run it down the bar. There is a mixed crowd Dash young and old. Feels like a cozy neighborhood bar. I definitely plan on returning! The only slight con that I will mention is their presentations are not as extravagant as some tiki bars. Pretty much all of the drinks I saw were served in standard bar glasses. Only a few were served in specialty glasses.

    This spot is the longest continuous running tiki bar in LA County. It's been a Tiki Bar since 1961 and continues to be. Lots of history as it is the same family still involved. Good drinks and good people await you inside the walls of this historical establishment. Drinks only, so plan solid sustenance accordingly. The location is small, so there may be a wait, but it's well worth it! You can purchase merchandise inside if you so desire, including mugs, but you have to grab mugs while they're available. This used to be a cash only spot. They now accept cards. Tiki fans, this is a must, but a must for all! If you're looking for an awesome spot filled with history, good people, and drinks, this is it! Have your identification ready and prepare yourself for an awesome time!!!

    Tiki Ti is a timeless establishment with authentic tiki vibe. There was a 20+ min wait to get in, which is fine. The place isn’t that big. However inside the few tables they had were not monitored by staff, and had patrons sitting and using space without drinks for an hour+. They should boot them if they’re just taking space up. Lastly, the drinks are a bit too sweet. They use a ton of triple sec and it’s not needed. I always want to point out the use of extremely low quality well liquors for their drinks. $14+ a drink isn’t robbery these days, but consider using better quality ingredients as the Mr. Boston is got rot. Cheers!

    Cute little cocktail bar.. the line can be a bit longer on the weekends. I went with my friend around 10:30 pm on Saturday night and we waited almost 45 mins to get in. Plan in advance.

    The best tiki dive bar on the planet. The drinks are great and the people there are even better.

    Wow! Amazing drinks! Amazing vibe! I would love to be a regular if I didn't live on the East Coast.

    The bar is very small and cozy. Drinks are so creative. Order one of the specials and everyone will start chanting with you! Come at opening or be prepared to queue. We queued for almost an hour to enter and had no seats, just standing around the whole evening. But hey, no complaints! This place was GREAT!

    I recommend you arrive 15 min prior to opening as there is limited seating and it fills up quick The drinks are amazing and painstakingly crafted by the bartenders. I got the Lemonhead and the Chi Chi. Both were fantastic but the sugar rim on the Lemonhead ran down the side and made the glass sticky. Overall, delicious.

    You like Tiki drinks? You gotta go here. It's literally one of the last holdouts of the original tiki era. Been in the family several generations since it opened. Delicious, no-holds-barred drinks. Eat beforehand for best stamina. We each had 2.5 drinks and got an uber home.

  • 4/5 Jake H. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is tiny, so be sure to get here early if you're ending your long work week here on a Friday night. Drinks are sweet, stiff, and delicious. They have great takes on traditional drinks like the Mai Tai, the Piña Colada, and the Navy Grog, but they also have other Island drinks based on rums of different regions including the Philippines! The smell of the place is most definitely tropical and there's a lot of great vibes here. Highly recommend.

    Had a great time. Cocktails are STRONG and vibe is good. It is super small so you may be standing or hopefully you get lucky and get a table! Definitely go check it out!

  • 5/5 Ashley W. 9 months ago on Google
    This place rules. Super old school tiki bar with incredibly strong drinks. Try to get here early because space inside is limited so there will inevitably be a line to get inside and people like to camp for a bit here so it can take a while before you’re able to get in. The three dots and a dash and Kactus Kula are both excellent but I can’t wait to go back and try more.

    Such a fun place, like it was teleported directly from the 1960s! I'm usually a giant coconut fan, but unfortunately wasn't a big fan of their coconut drinks. (I tried the Painkiller and Bayanihan. I think they must use something other than coconut cream.) But Ray's Mistake was extraordinary! I'm definitely looking forward to going again.

  • 5/5 Mike B. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the most authentic tiki bars I have ever been to!

  • 5/5 Laurence B. 2 years ago on Google
    Truly a local gem! They have the best bartenders and awesome tropical drinks. I really love the vibe and the music that complements the tiki theme. They are true to their roots. Cheers!

  • 5/5 Roland P. 8 months ago on Google
    Handmade to order tiki drinks, well worth the wait. Great decorations and a large crowd create an atmosphere missing only the surf break. Bring enough food for everyone if you want to eat here. Is QT a poser?

  • 5/5 ORIKHURE 6 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Very lovely vibe, people, drinks… And please stay hydrated because those drinks will sneak up on you; I immediately understood why Ray made a Mistake. 😂

  • 5/5 Matt P. 2 years ago on Google
    Legendary place with Legendary Tiki drinks. Not much else to say.

  • 5/5 Al L. 5 months ago on Google
    Oh my. What can one say about tiki-ti that hasn't already been said. Great hole in the wall, world famous bar. The patrons and the staff were very friendly and the drinks were unique and well poured.

  • 5/5 Sean Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome drinks that’ll make you need to Lyft home 😂

  • 5/5 angelina m. 2 years ago on Google
    Really small cool bar! The drinks are a little pricey but great experience on sunset!

  • 5/5 Justin W. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is legendary and it lives up to it's reputation. Small, unassuming, and lively. For my fellow tikinauts, the drinks are decidedly not "3rd wave." Their recipes - dated as they are - are fantastic and it's no wonder this place has been a must-see for 60 years throughout tiki's waxing, waning, and resurgence.
