With a prime second-story location overlooking Waikiki Beach, Tiki’s Grill & Bar comes alive each night, energized by live music, tropical drinks, and a clientele that’s predominantly young and attractive. This trendy, open-air restaurant captures the ambience of the South Pacific, with lava rock walls, dangling fish nets, and palm wood flooring. Hand-carved tiki masks adorn the walls, and a 30-foot man-made volcano holds a commanding presence in the bar area. Local bands and solo artists perform contemporary music nightly. The menu reflects Pacific Rim influences, examples being the guava-glazed grilled pork ribs and the pan-seared ahi. If you seek a drink that packs some punch, consider “Greg Brady’s Wipeout,” a mix of vodka, coconut-flavored rum, and banana liqueur with a splash of passion fruit juice and Sprite.
