Tiki Haven

So my best and oldest friend was supposed to go out to dinner with me...unfortunately he has become a hardcore bar fly and wanted to meet here.Welp you gotta do what you gotta do.I have been here several times and it depresses me....zero ambiance.Zero energy...maybe it is the neighborhood.If you live around here heck grab a drink but don't go out of your way

The blended tiki drinks here are dangerously delicious! Most tiki bars in the city don't make blended drinks, so this was such a pleasant surprise. Pricing was also very reasonable. However...the vibes were a bit uncomfortable though. The bouncer kept the front door open most of the night, so I was freezing despite being bundled in a warm puffer. I was also suffocating from the cigarette smoke coming directly from outside the door. If you don't mind the cold wind and inhaling secondhand cigarette smoke, then this place would be perfect!Note that this place doesn't actually close at 2am as stated. Everyone had to leave around 1:30am, although staff gave us a heads up around 1:20am so we had time to finish our drinks.

Tiki bar in the sleepy sunset district.Got to give this spot and its owners flowers for creating a fun and comfortable spot to watch sports and meet up with friends.No food, but bring your own from the neighborhood, no worries Tell Terence and John hello when you go in for a fruity drink or a cold beer.

Tiki Haven is a hidden gem, embodying the essence of paradise in a cozy bar setting. Run by the epitome of coolness, the owner's Asian heritage infuses authenticity into every sip. The flavored drinks are a symphony of tropical bliss, transporting you to a beachside retreat with each sip. But the real star? The punch bowl, a communal delight that sparks camaraderie and good times. Whether you're seeking a solo escape or a lively gathering, Tiki Haven is your ticket to a taste of island paradise.

Sort of divey tiki bar in the inner sunset. Tiki drink options were plentiful and the glassware was super fun. We ordered the Wiki waki woo and Tiki island. Each one must've had 4-5 different liquors in them, but as with most tiki drinks, all you could taste was the juice. With that being said, the drinks were super sweet/sugary tasting. Even though the liquor wasn't noticeable via flavor, it was definitely in there. Happy we stopped in for a quick drink! Not a place I'd spend a whole night, but cool to add to a bar crawl or to get your tropical drink fix.

What an oversight on my part that I didn't know this pocket-size tiki bar existed in the Sunset. Jamie W. and I have been on a tiki binge lately, so new discoveries excite us. This time, however, I was on Noriega on my own, so I reported back and faced a dilemma: Should I try Tiki Haven as a solo tippler? OK, it wasn't really a dilemma. The bigger dilemma was whether I should wait fifteen minutes for the door to open at 4PM.The bartender was on time and quite friendly since I was his only customer. The decor had an appropriate castaway, surf's-up vibe with a tinge of "Gilligan's Island" grass-skirt nostalgia. The menu was a cornucopia of tropical libations that would please even the Howells with all tiki drinks priced at $13. I had the Mango Banana Colada which came in its own vintage ceramic gorilla head vessel. No parasol though.It was tantalizing with mango, banana liqueur, rum pineapple, and coconut...all my favorite flavors in one gorilla head (photo: https://bit.ly/3Db7dH7). I sat outside in their makeshift hut on the edge of the sidewalk. I found it relaxing even though school kids would saunter by staring at me drinking from the gorilla head. I just ignored them as I didn't want to give off a pedophile vibe. Now I can report back to Jamie that this bar receives the Ed U. seal of approval.COCKTAILS - 4 stars...a most satisfying tropical delight in a gorilla headAMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...they've got the tiki vibe rightSERVICE - 4.5 stars...friendly guyTOTAL - 4 stars...yep, it's a tiki haven alright RELATED - Looking for a tiki bar? Here's a collection of places I've tried and reviewed: https://bit.ly/3SpoS3c

a tiki dive bar that seems like it's locals/family and friends. Despite that everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Extra shout out to the bouncer shadowboxing. The drinks themselves felt a little weak and were a little juice heavy. However, it checked the boxes of a place to get drinks late at night in the Sunset. I also liked the variety of tiki mugs and the decor- real fun place!

It was our first time at Tiki Haven and I don't know why we haven't been here before! I love the tiki motif, the large screens with multiple sports games on, the juke box playing oldies and the delicious stiff drinks! The bartender makes great strong drinks. He's very personable and efficient. Patrons buy him drinks and toast him. The bouncer/guard Clark is friendly, does a great job, is a fellow martial artist and I like his armor. There is an old school Buck Hunt shooting game that is fun. There is a table top electronic poker game. The customers are friendly, welcoming and everyone has a good time. There were 3-4 people dancing to ABBA's Dancing Queen by the juke box. I really like the vibe and definitely will return. I'm glad we found this hidden gem.

This bar has the word 'tiki' in its name but it's more like a neighborhood bar with tiki drinks and decor. I saw a lot of regulars and people who knew each other, and those people were drinking beer and shots and not the tiki drinks from the menu. Also, the music was hip hop and rap and not the kind that makes you feel like you're on a tropical island.We ordered a variety of drinks throughout the night: zombie, mango banana colada, tiki blossom, peach on the beach, mai tai, and pink flamingo. The zombie and mai tai drinks (the ones I ordered) were very strong and you can really taste the alcohol. They were okay but not as good as other ones I've had elsewhere. The other drinks were sweeter and easier to drink. Our favorite drink was the peach on the beach which tasted like the white gummy drink from Jamba Juice. It seemed like drinks were either very sweet or very strong with no in-between. All the tiki drinks are $13 which is straightforward.It's a small space and a lot of people were standing and you might have to do the same. They don't serve food but there's a vending machine with snacks if you need. We came at around 10:30pm on a Friday night and it was busy but after about 11pm it was pretty empty.If you're expecting a fully immersive tiki bar with all those bells and whistles, this place is (mostly) not it. However, it was still a fun place to hang out and we ended up spending 3 hours here so we definitely had a good time.

How come I never knew about this place? I know the Outer Sunset, and the Inner Sunset.. but missed the cool little Middle Sunset neighborhood! Walked by here and just had to check it out!Unpretentious neighborhood dive bar w/ tiki decor!Had a delicious blended drink w/ dark AND light rum!Very nice bartender, and a regular asked if I minded before they turned on the football game.
