Been going to this bar forever, I was kind of surprised when I sought on the site. I never considered it a tiki bar. It does have some fun and crazy beachy/tiki like decor, but it’s mostly just a crazy hang out bar! They do a lot of fun Activities and entertainment and I love their spin wheel for cocktails. Definitely worth going to, I just don’t consider it a tiki bar though.

I had the , uh... pleasure (if you can call it that) of visiting GILIGIN'S in November on my tiki crawl through the Phoenix area. GILIGIN'S was my first stop. I'm so glad that I encountered this at the beginning of my trip because every other stop just put this experience further and further from my mind.
GILIGIN'S had a decent tiki look to it going in...but it dissolved quickly when we asked for a tiki cocktail menu. The bartender was kind of a jerk. "We don't have a blender here. We don't have little umbrellas." He was mocking us. RUDE!
You'd think a place ripping off the "GILLIGAN'S ISLAND" name (the logo was written in the show's font) would try to be more GILLIGAN'S ISLAND-esque with tiki drinks to match--instead of just beer and shots.
Whatever. You can read about my visit fully (with photos) and all of the other Phoenix-area tiki joints in my blog, if you wish. The link is HERE: https://monsterago-go.blogspot.com/2019/01/im-freaky-for-tiki-18-by-time-i-get-to.html
The really is NO REASON to visit GILIGIN'S, especially with HULA'S MODERN TIKI-SCOTTSDALE just down the street...

Sat at a table for a while, no one came by, I walked up to the bar and asked the bartender for a drink menu, his reply was "we don't have a drink menu" and then pointed at the bottles behind the bar.
We left.

This is more of a dive bar. It has a full tiki drink menu but they come in plastic cups. The beer selection is good. They have an extensive seafood menu. The decor is tropical and beachy but not so much tiki. It's worth a visit if you are down the street at Hula's. There is a midget bar in this location which although some might find offensive is actually very unique and kitchy which I always appreciate.
Sorry folks, this is not a tiki bar. Don't waste your time unless you enjoy being around loud music, twenty-somethings with bleached hair trying to act rich, and lots of cheap bad beer.
