Tikicat - Shawnee

The drink menu features a variety of rum mixes, and they even have a shared bowl option for groups. I must say, the drinks pack a punch! It’s a fantastic spot to unwind with friends, chat, and simply enjoy the atmosphere, which genuinely feels like you’ve escaped somewhere else entirely—not just in Kansas City. When the staff isn't too busy, they're quite accommodating. Plus, they have their own restrooms, so you won't need to venture into the main HopCat facilities. The service was friendly, and we definitely plan to return next time!

Entering Tikicat through a secret door offers a truly unique experience from the get-go. If you're seeking something different from the usual bar scene, the ambiance here is unlike anything I've encountered in Kansas City. The drinks were delicious and unlike anything I've had before. I tried Don's Own Grog and I'll likely order it again on my next visit. The prices were a bit higher than I'm accustomed to, but the quality makes it worth every penny!

For larger groups, there are cozy cabin seats available at the bar. However, space is limited, so reservations are recommended for weekends. If you prefer just bar seating, they can accommodate that as well. Please note that outside food is not permitted, so plan to eat at HopCat or another nearby spot before or after your visit. Ideally, you’ll want to grab a bite beforehand so you can dive straight into your first of many drinks without delay!

Great place to relax and enjoy a cocktail. it is not your typical bar. this is a special bar, they have the best Tiki cocktails a few beer and a top notch list of the dipped rums. So if his vodka soda wants them, that's not the place to go. very small intimate space, with small private cottages for small groups. make sure to make a reservation as they do not have much space and book in advance. no windows, no tvs only etage to cover tiki. it is a 21 and over bar, they check the wise at the door. this is a place to bring a date, or a small group of friends for a unique and funny night.

One of the most unique bars in Kansas City and one of the best tiki bars around. From the classics to their own signature concoctions, you’re guaranteed to be impressed drink after drink. The bartenders and staff are all friendly and entertaining. Be sure to call ahead and make reservations or you probably won’t get in. But once you’re there, you’ll be transported to an entirely different place.
