First time here and im already in love with this place amazing drinks I had a old fashioned and a dagons tooth and for food I had the nachos since I wasnt that hungry but when it came out it was huge and I loved that and they where made the proper way not they crappy way someplace like apple bees would make it. I also talked with all the bartender and I asked them all about the menus and the bar itself and they where very accommodating with giving there view on it and it allowed me to have a very good conversation on multiple subjects. All the staff was friendly and very timely with the orders and and honestly amy who served me was amazing and in my book if I could give over 5 stars I would.

Devil’s Reef is without a doubt the most legit Tiki Bar in the Tacoma area. With wonderfully friendly bartenders, an amazing ambience, and a drink list as long as the Bible itself, it’s everything you want from a Tiki space.

Of course, none of that matters if the drinks aren’t good. But they most certainly are. You won’t find a single pre-mixed, sugary cocktail on this menu. Everything is a classic or modern take on Tiki with fresh squeezed fruit elements and an absolutely insane selection of rum.

If there was a single criticism I have for Devil’s Reef, it would be the food. It’s not bad, but it’s very much average bar food with nothing really standing out as great. I’d probably eat at a different restaurant and then come here for a drink. Or two. Or three.

Would go here more often if I did not live 40 miles away, worth a drink.

Great rum bar with an HP Lovecraft tiki theme. I honestly don't even want to share this place with anyone as it feels special enough that I want to keep it all to myself. The drinks are stiff and wonderful. Enjoy the grog and shed a tear for Lord Admiral Nelson in what may be the best bathroom in Tacoma.

Great service from the male bartender. I do wish there was the option to get an alcohol that wasn’t rum but the female bartender said they only had rum.

Drinks were decent, although not sure why my requiem for a Doomed Star tasted like licorice when that's not an ingredient. My wife's Kingsport Festival was good. Air flow is a bit of an issue so it was stuffy.

Edit - Just want to point out that nowhere in the drinks menu description does it say Absinthe.

Visited here this past weekend. Very popular spot, but their waiting list system works well. A wide variety of drinks with some creative names. Top-level theming. The only way it would be better is if they would add some more dramatic flair to their drinks (eg: fancier classes/mugs, special effects like fire, smoke, etc).

One of, if not the best tiki bar on the west coast. This place flies under the radar but the cocktails are as if imported from the black shores of Carcosa itself.

I felt a little bullied ordering drinks here, the menu is huge which is cool but I don’t usually drink rum so I asked the bartender for a fruit forward tiki drink she would recommend.
She said she couldn’t make me a fruity drink, so I said okay could I get an undead gentleman (common tiki drink). She said she couldn’t make it, so I asked her if she had a favorite drink and she ignored me to look up an undead gentleman. Then she said she actually could make it.
I was like oh okay if not no worries I can get something else but she insisted.
Brings it to the table and says this is the best I could do, and I don’t think it was the best she could do
