Placeholder Tiki - Austin

Nice crowd. Nice cocktail. Nice music. What a good weekend.

I just started delving into tiki drinks (or tropical or Polynesian Pop if you so please). The drinks at this bar were nothing short of outstanding. I 've made and had a number of junglebirds in my life and I learned last night that I 've never REALLY had a junglebird. My junglebirds are a cute, trite attempt in comparison. The zombie was also absolutely amazing... The spectrum of flavors in that drink is awesome to behold and your eyebrows will find your hairline once you taste it. If you love cocktails and you have friends who have not yet been bitten by the cocktail bug, bring them here and they will be ruined for life.The DJ was also great, and the bartenders and the staff were kind and attentive and were having a great time as well... Good vibes all around (that being said, for the purposes of management, the shorter male bartender was frankly rude and seemed annoyed though mercifully our interaction was limited). Also, having read another review of this place, if you visit this place and you 're drinking a vodka and soda, or a gin and tonic, don 't even leave a review because you missed everything that is great about this place. This bar was such a treat, and I 'm so lucky to have found it.

Super sweet spot. Watching your bartender craftsmanship – because it does craft, not only – your drink is a spectacle itself. Light it on fire and all these things. Fun outdoor area.

Good cocktails! We have the rum and rye and the tikkilla. $15/each.

Bartender when I stopped in on my last night in town was Mike and he was fantastic! Drinks were tasty and the pizza from the place out front was good too even if those dudes could take some classes in customer service (ahem). Anyways, on a Thursday evening in May the joint was positively tiki cool and with a lovely vibe to boot. Watch my video
