Customer Reviews

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this little tiki hut bar, and it instantly became one of our favorite spots! The atmosphere is so fun and laid-back, the kind of place where you can kick back, sip a cocktail, and forget about everything else. The staff made us feel so welcome, and the drinks were perfectly mixed--tropical, refreshing, and just the right vibe for date night. We enjoyed the music, the bartenders are amazing, and just having time together in such a relaxed, island-style setting. Whether you're looking for a fun night out with friends or a cozy spot for couples, this place is perfect. We can't wait to come back!

The New Crew at the Tiki in Alligator Point are an amazing upgrade to our Community! They come from Local family's and have a story to tell, even the Owner! They were attentive and make this place a the perfect destination On the Forgotten Coast. Food was served quick and Hot! The Drinks as we learned are all Original Recipes, what a cool experience! We will come again!

What a gem! This spot is a blast, and Aniyah, the bartender, is absolutely fantastic! Not only did she serve up great drinks, but she also went above and beyond by keeping the bar spotless and well-stocked. And let's not forget the culinary star of the show - Jacob's island-style Mahi sandwich was TO DIE FOR! The flavors were on point, and it's clear why this place is a local favorite. Can't wait to come back!

From Greenville, SC, visiting family. We stopped here during our day on the water and our whole family loved it!!! All the adults got drinks that were very refreshing. The Grilled Shrimp plate was literally amazing and so flavorful! The Tater Tots were delicious and HUGE, just like the menu said. Seriously, it's definitely worth a stop!
