Only visited once and there was a wall jukebox playing hip-hop. Despite paying to try and play relevant songs, we finally gave up and left. Who wants hip-hop music at a tiki bar?

Top 40 tropical themed bar. Not a true tiki bar. As a passionate tiki lover, its sad to see people jump on the bandwagon. Just because you serve "tiki" style drinks doesnt make you a tiki bar. Didnt feel there was any care put into research ir history.

I was really happy to walk in here and exotica music was playing, then some surf music — then Whitney Houston, some 80’s pop and then hip hop. Killed the whole vibe but still fun place with some great friendly bartenders.

I need to defend myself with rating Mutiny so low. It was recommended by a friend as a great tiki bar to check out. When I went there were two initial impressions I had: three deep at the bar and smoke everywhere. Staffing was a hilarious three people on a Saturday night and the smoke came from lighting everything they had on fire (rosemary, cinnamon, etc) for the garnish. The drinks were more cocktail bar than tiki bar, I only remember one drink having rum in it. Overall I was disappointed and hope they keep refining the concept, look at the drink menu, and increase staffing.

Nice little bar in Mexicantown in Detroit. Staff was great, and the drink selection, though limited, was inventive and delicious. The bar area was inviting and had a good Tiki vibe, but the rest of the place felt a little too like a Bar-In-A Box. There's more to it than hanging a couple of fish nets and banging up a few un-level pictures. They need to break up the space a bit and create some more intimate spaces. The cool Latino music was enjoyable and befitting the area, but definitely not Tiki. Overall: Good, but not Great.

I heard the owners described it as a "dive tiki bar" and I think that's an apt description. The decor is inviting and tiki, but it's more in keeping with a neighborhood bar. Comfortable, well kept, good crowd for a Thursday night.

The drinks recipes are well-developed. Everyone in my group liked the the gin Harvey Wallbanger. The "Rye Tai" was the big surprise; it's less sweet than a traditional Mai Tai and the rye spiciness an excellent complement to the drink's usual flavors.

It was karaoke night when we visited—not my thing.
