I wouldn't really call this a true tiki bar. The decore had somewhat if a beachy resort vibe than tiki. And the drink menu didn't consist of original tiki drinks. Cocktails were served in regular glasses as opposed to tiki mugs. Not much tiki decor like you would normally see. It was nice though and the drinks were good. But if you've been to a real tiki bar, don't get expect the same vibe or atmosphere. I would call it a beach bar before I'd call it...
One of the best vibes and craft cocktails in Santa Barbara. Walked in to some 90s hip hop (not rap, but the classics like Jurassic five and hi-tek), grabbed a beautiful, not too sweet cocktail and walked out in a great mood!
This is a must-visit in Santa Barbara! The vibes are great, and so are the drinks. Bartender Edgar was the star of the show. There were tons of excited people clamoring for drinks, and he was super chill and friendly as he worked his way through all of the orders. His attention to detail on the flavor balances and garnishes never faltered, despite having so much to do!
