Best burgers in the Bay area. I know, there's no reason why a tiki bar should be so good at burgers, but it's true. Friends who didn't believe it tried them and agreed.
Great Bartenders, very personal and nice!! Food good as well!!Great tiki barware!
Another excellent tiki experience, touched by Oceanic Arts. The menu here is also a blend of familiar classics and new unique drinks, along with some interesting riffs on newer drinks. My BFF joined me on this one and we each got our own drinks and then split a Phoenix Bowl.My first drink was the Kon-Tiki Zombie, another house riff on a classic, this one with more spice and less funk than The Zombie Village's Jamaican-influenced take. The Phoenix Bowl had Campari in it, which is not my favorite liquor at all, but unlike the overpowering shock of it in a Jungle Bird, the amount in the Phoenix Bowl was a nice counterpoint undercurrent of bitterness to the very sweet flavor of the other ingredients.The staff was super kind also about checking on ingredients and making sure my meal was as allergen-safe as possible - an ask I know is extra work but which is always appreciated (tangibly). Overall an excellent experience and I'm looking forward to my next visit here, too!
As far as tiki bars are concerned, this one is great. The drink menu is extensive, the food is pretty good, and the interior is darkly lit and a fun time. Appreciated the really friendly service.
World-class nouveau-Tiki bar with a diverse, well-curated rum list and surprisingly delightful kitchen. The bar staff are experts in crafting rum cocktails (e.g. daiquiri, rum old fashioned, Ti’ punch) and masterful revisions of Tiki classics such as zombies, grogs and Mai Tais. Kitchen is open late and consistently excellent.
Kon-Tiki was a lot of fun for a bigger group. The drinks were well-made with a good variety of options. The food was delicious. Our server was friendly and on top of things. We had a great night! I appreciated that they checked our vaccination status.
Pretty much all you can ask for out of a tiki bar. Great cocktails and really good food. Recommend the grilled mushrooms. They're incredible.
Great tiki bar with a pretty good selection of the classic tiki drinks. Several great communal drinks with good attention to the garnish. The house grog comes in a rather intimidating sized mug!
Fun spot, plethora of fun fruity cocktail options, and creative teetotalers if thats your thing, to get you into the Polynesian mood in case COVID has landlocked. They check vaccination and ID, service was friendly. Inside seating has the full blown tiki experience but we opted for outdoor parklet. Of the 4 tables outside our heat lamp wasn't working but the day was warm enough so no issues. Tables are a bit small to be ordering lots of food and drinks to share but they're pretty attentive about bussing. They also have a happy hour menu tue-thu 4-6. Kitschy little get away when you can't get away, just as a tiki bar should be.
A great tiki bar with an ever changing menu of classics and new creative drinks. Food is top notch bar food and the burger is one of if not the greatest in Oakland. Rum explorer club is a great way to dive into deep world of Rum and Rhum. We’ve always had top notch service at every visit,
