Kon Tiki is a total vibe! I'd go back just for the photo ops alone, but the tiki-themed drinks were worth every penny. For $13-16, you get a pretty generous drink that's crafted to perfection. Our server was fantastic--super energetic, patient, and friendly, which added to the whole experience.Bonus: you can order tacos or loaded fries from the Mexican restaurant next door without even leaving your seat! We tried the loaded fries--they were decent, though a bit salty--but honestly, we weren't there for the fries. They also had an $8 happy hour while we were there, but we didn't dive in this time.Can't wait to return for round two at this tropical gem!

What a great place! I didn't think this place was going to be much and assumed they would have cheesy half done decor, but they are really legit. The place is brand new so it's hard to get in, make sure that you make a reservation. On one side they have a taco restaurant and then on the other side, they have the tiki bar. All of their staff is friendly helping you choose your drinks except for the man at the front door. He isn't very pleasant.Their drinks are very exotic with bold flavors and stepping in this places makes you feel like you are on vacation but you are actually STILL in Kansas City.

I love that we have a Tiki bar in the area. The drinks are fantastic. Too many times at these sort of places the drinks taste like over sweetened Hawaiian Punch with alcohol. Not here! The drinks were well balanced with complexity that was a joy. About $15 a drink but well worth it. No food but you can order tacos from their place next door. To the owners, my only complaints are superficial. Lighting was a little too dim. I couldn't enjoy the decor fully or get a good look at my drinks because of it. I was at the bar and it may have dimmer there than on the floor. Also, music. Modern music is fine but if you're going for a retro tiki bar feel you need some older lounge / tiki music playing every few songs. For suggestions look up Retro Cocktail Hour on KPR for their play lists. I will be back.

Tiki cocktails in adult sized cups hit the spot! Great flavors and options for everyone. Plenty of room for our Party of 8! Lovely staff had great recommendations for our crew. The art in the bathroom wait hall is gorgeous. Had some loaded fries, some chips and dip and a few rounds of bevies. Great spot!!

Late night downtown Kansas City looking for a great spot for you and your crew to chill and get drinks than look no further than Kon Tiki. Love the atmosphere of Hawaiian decor and all the drinks cups are similar in design. I enjoyed the drinks that I chose from their menu. They had a wide variety of drinks to choose from. I will say the lighting in the bar could be a little bit brighter but that's my preference. I enjoyed my time while there and liked the photo area of the bar as well.

First time checking out the bar and I really loved it! The entire bar makes you feel like you've landed in a tropical island. The bar has a dark and moody ambiance that sets the tone for a good night's drink with the girls or perhaps a date night. The drinks were served in tiki mugs and the drinks were really good and on the stronger side. The service was really great; we walked in on a busy Friday night with no reservations, and the host allowed us to be seated before their next reservation arrived. With that being said I do recommend getting a reservation, especially heading into the weekend.
