This is it! A true tiki Bar and so much fun. The bartenders have changed and some are new. But the regular bartenders (Jay & Natalie) Rock.

We were in Kauai last summer for 2 weeks and went to tiki iniki at least 6 or 8 times. great place to relax and have some drinks and pupus. Jay the bartender is the best, always greeted us with a smile and asked how our day was.

We visited Nov 2013, so within the first year of their opening. Was one of the very few places on the north side of the island open late. They didn't have mugs for sale at the time (as far as I remember), and now I want one!

I visited Tiki Iniki in 2015. I’ll be going back for the first time since then in October. I loved their cocktails and I ended up leaving with a mug and a shirt. It was a short walk from where I was staying in Princeville so I went several times while staying in the area. The decor was cool, but the music didn’t fit the vibe. Surfing was on their TVs which worked well enough for me. The food was good, and the service wasn’t bad. I would go again, but I do wish they’d change their music to match the bar.

Great vibe with awesome decor. Outdoor porch area is great at night. Drinks were very tasty and well garnished. Very friendly service!

Cool place but the crazy loud rock kills it. I might even be okay if it wasn’t so damn loud. Good drinks at decent prices for the island. I paid $16 for crap Mai Tais. Their’s is $12 and great.

We ended up here because the road after the complex it is in flooded. I expected something pretty mediocre but out of 4 total tiki experiences on Oahu and Kauai so far....the drinks were by far the best. In fact the Zombie and the top shelf mai thai were dead on traditional recipes. The food was actually great. A limited menu and not traditional tiki fair. But def island fair...and very good. The complex it was in was kinda awkward so this place may never get the perfect crowd or atmosphere but the decor was legit. Worth a visit or 2 if you are on Kauai

We visited shortly after they opened in 2013 and chatted with the owner. Our drinks were great and we really enjoyed the space. We returned in 2015 and found the drinks had really declined in quality.

The wife and I got a chance to come to Kauai for a week and of course Tiki Iniki was on the list! It definitely has potential to be a great tiki bar but the lack of music, football on big screen TVs, bros in t shirts and very unpersonable staff earned it low marks from me.

I give this place high marks. My wedding dinner was here after my spouse and I got married on a nearby beach at sunset..............

I've been here quite a lot since my family lives nearby. Ben's decor is fabulous (and Woody's lamps), but the laser lights added afterwards are really off-putting. The food and service are what you would expect ("island" food - generally good fish, spam in the burger, etc. - good and consistent servers are hard to come by on the north shore, so it's hit or miss). The saddest standout, however, is the utter disappointment in the cocktails. The "Trader Vic's Mai Tai" tastes nothing like it should (both in comparison to the original and in terms of not making a concerned face after one sip) and the other drinks are consistently too sour and/or just poorly made. On guest bartender nights (with a series of "specials"), the drinks were outstanding, but on a normal day, I stick with cider or the Lovely Lini. :( Come for the decor, or stop by for lunch, but my hopes of having a backup for those night when the Nui is too full or loud were dashed.
