Grade A++ tiki experience. Excellent service. Got three drinks, one a bowl, all absolutely excellent. The decor is spot on. Only issue was music could have been island tropical but was blues. But I like the blues too. Just not right for the vibe for the decor. But 100% recommend anyone who is tired of all the beer to pop in here and escape to Bali hai.

One of the best, most authentic tiki experiences I’ve had this far away from the coast.

Drinks were really good, but expect to pay like $12-17 for a drink. The drinks were strong, but they give you a chart that shows you the strength of what you ordered. The ambiance is spectacular! The vibe is great. The bartenders were super knowledgeable and friendly.

Stumbled upon tiki easy while doing a day time bar crawl. Fantastic selection of bourbons and rums, Rachel was an amazing guide and host making sure our group had the best time. Can’t wait to come back and visit!

Jill at the bar was the sweetest bartender I ever had. We had the best conversation, drinks, and overall experience. Someone give this sweet woman a raise, she is so dedicated to her customer’s experience and overall enjoyment.

One of the most fun bars I’ve been to on the east coast ? the thunderstorms were something we weren’t expecting and very impressive. Must-see spot in Asheville!

Incredible bar, awesome atmosphere and the bartenders were spot on with the vibe, we enjoyed Ian and Jill’s company. Very hospitable, and their knowledge behind the bar creates a delicious drink menu as well as some creative off menu options if it’s not too busy. Highly recommend stoping in, discover rum in a new, incredible way.

Absolutely loved this little tiki bar!!!! All of the drinks we had were amazing. The bartender was awesome as well! I would def recommend this place if you like rum or fruity cocktails. Jell-O shots for my birthday were great!! Can’t recommend them enough!Parking: Could be difficult to find parking depending on the time of days. It’s paid parking next door.Kid-friendliness: It says 21+ so I’m not sure I would bring kids.

I love a tiki bar. It's hard to get me to feel anything other than happy at a tiki bar, especially one in the back of a brewery - that's clever. And one with ambient themed storm effects? Fun.But... the cocktails are premixed, which I think is fine if they're a bit cheaper than they are here, but they're not. I paid $64 for a top shelf flight, okay, maybe that's on me, but that's too much for Angostura, Diplomatico, and Zacapa XO, especially in as small of quantities as I got (1oz each I think?).I would go to the Storm Rhum Bar just 3 blocks from here if you're into rum, their bartenders are passionate and deeply knowledgeable and the selection is a bit wider, but it may be worth visiting Tiki Easy the ambiance, fair enough, especially if you're with a party.

First and foremost, the cocktails were all super, super good. My wife and I had 6 drinks between us and loved every single one. Tiki cocktails are pricey but you get what you pay for and we were definitely lit by round 3. There’s room for a lot of people but the bar part itself is rather small and since you have to order at the bar (no servers) it also feels even more crowded as people are standing and waiting behind you or squeezing between you to order a drink and I hate that kind of vibe, but they keep it moving and it’s not the end of the world. You have to keep braking apart from your party/table to get your own drinks all night though which stinks IMO. The decor was neat, there were some authentic tiki elements but there were also some aspects and decor that were not (if you’re a hardcore traditionalist.) The lighting and the mood were fun though, especially the special effects that hit; wish it occurred more often though. Finally, I didn’t understand the music choice. You won’t find exotica or thematic sounds here, but I didn’t understand the heavy influence of disco all night. I’ll acknowledge people seemed to enjoy it, but I prefer a different musical ambience for a tiki bar. All in all, I will 100% go back to take friends or try the other drinks I couldn’t get to. The bartenders were friendly, they were working hard, and the drinks were consistent and enjoyable and those are things that have to be done right and they accomplished that. We bought a bottle of their 4 year rum, which as I understand it will be a work in progress as they grow into distilling their own liquor but we haven’t tasted it yet to review but a neat item for the collection with a pretty label. I hope this bar sticks around for a long time and I hope they can do so while staying close to tiki roots and not having to subject themselves to some short falls I have seen other tiki bars fall to in order to survive. I want to come back!
