Tiki Bars near San Francisco, CA

“There are levels to this tiki thing and this place is without a doubt the best of the best. The drinks are all phenomenal, the bartenders are in tune with the drinks they sell, and there's a huge variety of drinks available. I cannot speak more highly of this place.“

“Awesome Tiki Bar and a must visit if your into Tiki or themed bars“

“Tiki Bar with a definite 50’s vibe. Love the rum selection!“

“Hands down the best painkiller in San Francisco, perhaps all of CA! I had the burnt banana bread drink also. Anything with fire gets five stars. But it honestly tasted a bit weird. Didnstop me from slurping it down. Bartender was very nice and did a great job. Looking forward to my next trip back already.“

“Hawaii West is one of my favorite mf places in the world. Sunny, the owner/bartender doesn't got time for your trials and tribulations and you'll figure that out pretty quick. Free pool all the time, lots of places to sit and cool tf out. All the things you need, none of the frills you don't.“

“Loved this place very authentic“

“Saturday comedy on the sidewalk is great.“

“rader Sam’s is one of those rare San Francisco bars that feels like stepping into a fully realized world rather than just another place to grab a drink. The immersive tiki décor, warm amber lighting, and layers of hand-crafted details give the space a cozy, transportive feel that immediately sets it apart from typical cocktail bars. It’s intimate without feeling cramped, with different pockets of seating that make it work equally well for quiet conversations or casual group outings. While the bar is clearly adult-oriented in terms of drinks, the playful tropical visuals make it approachable and visually engaging even earlier in the evening. The atmosphere leans relaxed and nostalgic rather than loud or chaotic, which makes it a great stop for people who value ambiance as much as cocktails. Accessibility is generally manageable with ground-level seating and open walkways, though tighter areas near the bar may require some navigation“

“Delicious cocktails, amazing ambience, and a fun band to top it off! Loved learning the lagoon used to be the hotel’s old pool. Can’t wait to return!“

“Best food and service in town! A must try!“

“Trader Vic's is incredible. Excluding the historical significance to Tiki, the food is delightful, and the drinks even more so. The ribs are the best I've had (and I'm from Kansas City) and any drink with smoked pineapple is to die for, the Mai Tai is of course wonderful too. Staff was attentive and helpful, and portions were sizable for the price, and everything was delicious. Wonderful ambiance and selection of barware. Excited to be able to come again ❤“
