This place nails it. Best drinks, homemade syrups, and phenomenal garnishes. A must visit.

We heard about this through Critiki and mentions from other regulars who had been unimpressed with Pilikia and its Tiki Bar offerings in DFW and this, finally, is the real deal. The decor is there and perfect, sort of a semi-modern vibe with well organized seating and a mix of well-understood lighting that keeps everything dim and pleasant at all times of day. Hours are great, and while it's not the easiest to find, there's plenty of parking nearby if you catch them at a not-busy time of day.
The important thing here, however, is the drinks. This place understands its menu and what it's going for. The drinks are great, and the 1944 Mai Tai I had was handled with brilliance in replicating and improving upon the recipe I remember sampling at actual Trader Vics locations elsewhere. Their Zombie, in turn, is literally the best I've ever had, and the spin they take on their drinks is a unique sort of touch on the typical recipes while keeping to the rule of real fruit juices.
It took a long time to finally get a good Tiki offering after Trader Vics died, but this is it, and if this is only the beginning in DFW, we're going to be looking forward to a wonderful Tiki renaissance.

I am so happy that there is now a tiki bar in the DFW area! I visited for the first time on the night before their grand opening. The space is not large, but it is decorated quite well. The bar has a thatched roof and showcases four interesting carved tikis. When I was there, the television behind the bar was showing Jaws. I had three drinks: the Kahuna Painkiller (perfect drink to start off the night, sweet but not too sweet), a Mai Tai Royal (their spin on the 44 Mai Tai, seemed a bit sweeter with some added fruit juice maybe? I enjoyed this one for sure), and a Missionary�s Downfall (tasty, but this was my first time having this drink so I can�t compare it to others). I really enjoyed my drinks! Their garnish game is really on point, with some creative additions to the usual such as a pirate ship made out of citrus rinds or a butterfly made from an orange peel. I had a chance to chat with one of the owners, who was charismatic and kind. The bartenders were great and attentive. The music was very tiki, and the lighting made it feel cozy and tropical. The decorating is definitely done well! Overall, I will certainly be back to try more drinks and soak up the great tiki vibes!

It's not right in Dallas, but not so far away....in an unassuming area.
Open the no nonsense door and suddenly you've arrived.......a splendid tiki oasis.
These folks did their homework and it shows.
The space is inviting and comfortable....once your eyes adjust to the subdued lighting after leaving the scorching sun outside.
There are several U shaped booths to the left, the bar to the right....
Great tiki art on the walls by Kymm Bang, Boozey Doodler, etc....Martin Denny and other exotica playing, great drink menu options, attentive service......
This place is infused with Aloha!
.......we were starved for tiki after several unsuccessful attempts to connect with a troublesome place in Dallas.....we feared the region was barren.....
So glad to sip corrected!
Three of us sampled 7 drinks?....all excellent. The Blackbeard's ghost had inspiring garnishes to top off an interestingly complex concoction.......
it's another 2 weeks before the place officially is open, and they're open 7 days per week!

The kahunas have absolutely knocked it out of the park! It is so nice to finally have a real tiki bar in Dallas. The drinks,classic and new, are top notch. Brad is a fantastic mixologist and great to chat with. The atmosphere is phenomenal - from small touches like the TikiTony carving hanging out at the bar to the water effect in the front of the bar - this place just feels like a tiki bar should.

I can�t find even a nit picky thing to complain about. Listen to some Martin Deny on the speakers, have a fantastically crafted Brainchild or Jet Pilot and above all - talk to JP and the rest of the Kahunas. They�ve built this place with love and it shows.

I have long been waiting for a true tiki bar to reopen in the DFW area for some time, and have to say that 4 Kahunas nailed it! My wife and I visited on their second day of business around 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon and was immediately whisked away to a lost island in the south pacific! In true tiki fashion, expect to hear the likes of Les Baxter and Martin Denny playing in the background. Drinks are crafted with care and you can certainly taste the complex flavors that are poured into each one. They encourage you to bring your own mugs from your collection, makes for a great conversation starter! Got to meet the great minds behind 4 Kahunas, CP, Brad, and Randall and they were all very friendly and shared some insight into what inspired the bar. We are looking forward to our next visit, and the next one, and the next one...
