My girlfriend and I stopped here on our way to a concert in Anaheim. The guy at the door was friendly and was courteous enough to give me the bathroom code before we ordered our drinks.After spending a cell phone session's length of time in the stall, I returned to the table where they seated us and she had yet to be served. 1 star for the service.The decor is definitely a hit. However, there is a disconnect in the space as it's literally split in half with a hallway to the rest of the indoor mall that houses this bar.Very good execution of the tiki vision, but the service ruined the experience and we'll be heading to other bars.

Interesting vibe ha. But I love it as it's connected to the same building as the Arcade upstairs! Which is where the wine be :]The waiters at TIKI were super friendly. It is rather small though. It's more 1 medium sized room. But the drinks, both alcoholic and non were delicious! Would def go again.

Super cute little intimate tiki bar in DTSA. Perfect for a date night or a night out with a friend. This place is tiny, so the best time to go is during the week when it's not super crowded.

The drinks are fun and strong. Their menu has an abundant choice of different tiki cocktails from Mai Tais to shared drinks (fish bowls). Twisted is tiny and intimate which in my opinion, adds to the fun and somewhat speakeasy feel of it. The staff is friendly and entertaining. Make sure you add yourself to their waitlist on Yelp before going as there will be a wait. See pictures of the cutest ambiance.

This place is awesome. We are early birds and we have a toddler who goes to bed early so we came here for drinks right when it opened, and there were only 2 other parties there. It's a very intimate space - fairly small with the tables close to each other and dark inside!Before sitting down, we ordered some taco plates from the place next door (it's all inside a food court area together). Once we got our food, we brought it into the bar and ate while we ordered drinks. We got the Purple Polynesian and Sandy Chi Chi. The Purple Polynesian was more dessert than hard drink - so if that's what you're into, you'll love it! It's very sweet and coconutty. The Sandy Chi Chi was decent but not as good as the Purple Polynesian. Overall we had a great time here!

The ambience was underwhelming and there was a serious gag worthy smell. We rolled up closer to closing so it was pretty empty. Sad that they don't mix their drinks and there are no tiki mugs to purchase--so how much of a tiki bar is it? We even came in with the birthday girl and there was nothing special there we could use to celebrate her with. Drinks were fine-- can't change anything bc they are premade. It was just overall a subpar tiki experince

Sooooo we had reservations and it STILL took 45 minutes to get INTO the bar but honestly the waiting room was cool enough that we didn't care. When we finally got into the bar, you could order food from inside via cell phone and just walk outside and pick it up. We had ordered some tacos and other food, that was delicious. The ambiance is really cute in the bar. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures. And it was dark. The drinks are VERY VERY strong. We don't drink much but my sister was like WOAH TOO STRONG, and she loves drinking lol The inside is a very very TINY Tiki Bar. It fits about 17-20 people. But it pretty cool.

Twisted Tiki is a tiny little tiki bar in downtown Santa Ana. We were able to get in right away on a weekday night. We split a "fish bowl" drink -- Oh Hana'i, and really enjoyed it! They set the mood with a wonder ambiance (including smoke) and Hawaiian style music. However, our one drink was $40!! The prices are left off of the menu, so we were shocked upon getting the bill -- definitely unexpected and wouldn't have ordered a fish bowl had we known.
this place is so fun! their drinks are delicious and strong and reasonably priced. It's a little dark inside, but the vibes are very "tiki lounge" with all the decor and special performances they put on when you order a bowl to share. Service here is great - the bar is small so you'll always be tended to. You can also order food from the nearby vendors and bring it inside.

Great little hidden tiki bar... Only a few people allowed at a time. Quiet, great lighting & soft music. Perfect for for an intimate conversation & delicious signature cocktails, and of course fabulous Mai Tai drinks.
