Adrift Tiki Bar

3 years later, it's time to write another review for Adrift! I can't believe it's been that long since I visited. My tiki bar obsessed friend was in town, so this was the obvious choice. That and I knew there were tiki mugs to add to her collection. We made reservations for 9pm on a Friday night. Customer service here is notably fantastic. We felt well taken care of.If you're looking for a tiki bar to mess you up, this is the spot. I splurged on a 'Lost in the Ayame Arashi' because it had gin, plum liqueur, creme de violet, and ube powder. My friend got the 'Captain's Share of the Spoils" which was a treat. We ended our night with 'Ta Kill Ya Pain'. Everything was delicious, and I love how they calibrate booziness on their menu.I previously criticized the food at Adrift but didn't get any this time, so I wasn't able to compare. We ate dinner beforehand, which I would HIGHLY recommend doing if you're not getting dinner at the bar. Clearly their specialty is tiki drinks, so maybe stick with that. Also, take an Uber here. Either way, I'm excited to bring more friends in the future!

Ever since our last trip to Hawaii, my husband has been on a tropical drink kick and blasting Tiki Bar playlists nonstop. Clearly, this guy needs to go to a tiki bar, so we went to Adrift on a recent date. It's amazing how calm and relaxing it is inside, especially with the busyness of Broadway just outside its doors. My husband ordered the Mai Tai, which was STRONG. What he likes about this place is that the drinks are not watered down at all. I ordered the non-alcoholic Blue Hawaiian. It was fine.The food is pretty standard bar quality food, if you know what I mean. Poke nachos were fine, and the coconut shrimp was a solid choice. Definitely skip the cucumber salad, though. I think somebody mistakenly put salt instead of sugar in it, because it was way too salty to eat. If you're dousing something in soy sauce, you don't need to add salt as well.All in all, it was a fun time. We'd probably check out other tiki bars in Denver before coming back, though.

Well hello, Island Oasis in a landlocked state! The epic vibes start on the street with totems standing guard, and the decor continues to improve as you enter. There is much to occupy the eye, both inside and out. For food, their menu is on the smaller side but seems to cater to a broad audience. My husband went with the ribs - yummy and a killer value. I landed on the chicken sandwich which was also ace. We ended with guava cheesecake - they nailed the flavor, but not my favorite texture. Service was attentive and they had a few table side cocktail experiences which looked fun.*Zero Proof Review: I am on a quest to find the best Zero Proof, Mocktail and N/A beverages in Colorado and partially sought out Adrift as I heard they had a decent mocktail menu. I was not disappointed! There were four tasty options to choose from; we opted for the Makani Hibiscus Spritz & Frozen Virgin Colada, both of which were delicious. My one recommendation would be to include n/a beer, wine, or bubbly to cater to a wider audience. TLDR; Adrift gets an A in my book and I'm looking forward to coming back - perhaps for their Spelling Bee or some other event to take advantage of their lovely outdoor space.

I am usually not a huge fan of tiki bars - I usually find the drinks too sweet. That was not a problem here. Their cocktails were well balanced and I fell in love with their hurricane. So yummy!The food was equally good - specially the pork belly lettuce board and the spam masubi. The coconut shrimp was also a highlight of my meal.The service was amazing and everyone was super welcoming. I will definitely be back soon!

I was really excited to try this place for my nieces bday. We started with the Spam Musubi and Coconut Shrimp which were great. The drinks were fantastic - we tried the Coconut Margarita, chi Chi and some Grog drink all were great and strong. Will say the downside is the food took awhile.. I got the rice bowl and came out quickly and I had to eat alone for 20 min til everyone else's food came. My niece got the salad with tofu and my other guests shared the steak board. Everyone liked their food I just wish we all got at same time or closer together. I was shocked when it was almost 2 hrs by time we just finished eating and we were alerted we were on last call because another reservation was coming. I wish we had more time to enjoy my second drink took awhile and I didn't even get to finish.

We used to love coming here, but the past few experiences have left much to be desired. We used to love coming for the steak board and cocktails. However, they seem to always be out of the steak board now a days. We were recommended the pork belly, which had a lot more fat to pork ratio than I would expect for the price. The cocktails were still pretty good! Good flavor on the pork belly, but we were told it would fill two people (a couple). It definitely did not since there was so much more fat to meat than normal. The waitress was super rude. We were there for a birthday celebration and there were only 4 of us. Not a big party and definitely not a loud party. We felt very neglected throughout our whole experience this time around. There was another bigger table next to us who seemed to be spending a lot more, but I would think we would receive equal treatment from start to finish regardless? This was not the case. The waiter specifically would check on the bigger table more than us. We mentioned it was our friends birthday, and she said they don't do anything for it. Yet, a few moments later a shot came out for us. A few moments after that, the waiter said the shot was sent to us on accident, and we might have to pay for it. The audacity.... We took it because we thought it was for the birthday... and that she might have realized they do infact send shots for the birthday person. Left a sour taste all over.

Super fun bar with top notch tiki drinks. We went during Halloween when they had decor and special drinks. I thought it was cute but a little underwhelming compared to other pop-ups. I am planning to go during their Christmas popup and see how it compares.We only ordered drinks but they do have a delicious sounding food menu. The drinks were made to perfection. I really enjoyed the Halloween mezcal drink and the Mai tai was a classic. I do think it's a bit expensive and wish we had known about needing reservations in advance.

Adrift is a really fun experience! The atmosphere is a true Tiki bar. We had several drinks and they all were really good with just a hint of the taste of alcohol. We had the volcano fries which were also good. The service was top notch and we were checked in on frequently. I'd always suggest making a reservation as it can get full quick. All is yummy at Adrift!!

It's a small place actually but cozy inside. The vibe was typical tiki, nothing extra special though. The drinks were a disappointment for both of us. I honestly think they tasted watered down. Sorry but that's my opinion of my taste buds. My partner was craving a well done mai tai, was so excited for the real deal but he was not pleased with this one. I choose the painkiller for the house made coconut cream but it didn't taste much like coconut, though. Expected more from the drinks but still a decent place to checkout. Outside facade is cool.

The "glows": Great food, great drinks, great service. That steak board was EVERYTHING!The "grow": The music is half tiki and half "center-city hot spot". When I go for Tiki, I want tiki.
