Tiki Philly

Tiki Philly opened in July 2016, near the Philadelphia City Hall. The decor is simple: an orange wall covered with brightly-painted inexpensive tiki masks, and a painted mural on the side. A short menu of tiki drinks is offered, a mix of traditionals and new creations, and there is a small selection of food.

We got here shortly after 5pm. Upstairs its a small bar with only one bartender working but she did a good job for happy hour. The drinks are pretty generous and fairly priced considering. The Pain Killer was not so close to the original recipe and the Zombie tasted like mostly rum. The music, I don't what it was, I had to keep asking Siri to name the songs, none of which I ever heard before. One thing I can say is the decor was pretty cool including original artwork on the wall on the way to the upstairs bar.

I very much agree with "The Nerdy Monkey"s comments. Definitely more hipster. I still liked it in its own way, though. My drink was really good, and I had some yummy potstickers. They had pictures of more types of food on their website, but that's only for private party catering. Otherwise it's only potstickers. It's not too pricey and it's pretty casual, so it's good if you're in the neighborhood and want a good tiki cocktail.

This place isn�t for those of us on critiki, those of us in the tiki community. This place is cool and I would call it �hipster tiki�, it�s not classic Polynesian by any means, has some surf and tiki stuff. The music makes me feel like I�m at a gay club back home in New York, not that�s a bad thing, I liked the music and vibe here. But I wouldn�t recommend it to someone looking for a tiki joint. They have two floors AND a rooftop patio. Bartenders were great at mixing drinks, but otherwise very impersonal. I didn�t have a bad time, I just know the tiki folks aren�t going to like this place very much.
