“ Liked everything about this place. Relaxing outdoor seating with live music. Food and service was amazing as our server was personable and super friendly. Check it out if you are in the area. This place was renamed the Canvas Pub. ”
“ As a lifelong tiki enthusiast, I’ve visited my fair share of tiki bars, but this gem truly stands out. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was transported into a tropical paradise where attention to detail and service reign supreme. The decor was impeccable—bamboo accents, carved tiki idols, and a perfect mix of dim lighting. It felt authentic without veering into kitschy territory. The music, a seamless blend of exotica and island vibes, set the tone for the night. The drinks? Absolutely phenomenal. The menu was a carefully curated collection of tiki classics and inventive creations. I started with a Mai Tai that would make Trader Vic proud—balanced, flavorful, and delightful. The Zombie packed the perfect punch and their signature house cocktail, a rum-based elixir with hints of passionfruit and cinnamon, might just be my new favorite. The garnishes were as thoughtfully crafted as the drinks themselves, from fresh orchids to flaming lime shells. The service was equally impressive. The bartenders weren’t just mixing drinks; they were artists at work, passionate and knowledgeable about every pour. They even took the time to share the stories behind some of the classic tiki cocktails, which added a layer of depth to the experience. The staff as a whole was warm, attentive, and genuinely excited to ensure we had a memorable time. Thomas is the absolute best. If you’re a tiki connoisseur or even just someone looking for a unique, immersive night out, this tiki bar is an absolute must-visit. It’s not just a bar; it’s a love letter to tiki culture, executed with unparalleled expertise and heart. Five stars isn’t enough for this tropical oasis. Cheers to the team for an unforgettable escape to paradise! ”

The cocktails are a true spectacle — from smoke and fire to fresh tropical fruit, each drink is a show in itself. Perfect for shaking up your routine and diving into something fun and different. The staff is friendly, energetic, and clearly passionate about their craft. A must-visit with friends if you’re in the mood to be surprised ”
“ Amazing service, really kind staff and the bar is incredibly cosy and has a great vibe. There is a lot of attention to detail in the bar itself but also in the cocktails in terms of presentation and flavour. The cocktails were the best! It’s rare to have a place where the atmosphere is good, the service is good and the cocktails are amazing. What a gem!! It’s hidden inside the sports bar but you can’t miss it once inside some a staff member will guide the way. Wish I could visit here regularly but sadly I don’t live in Miami! ”
“ This tiki bar has a cool atmosphere, fantastic drinks, and an attentive, knowledgeable staff. We had an amazing evening here! It’s a must-visit for tiki aficionados or anyone looking for a fun night out. And don’t miss the Kraken Dog—it’s absolutely delicious! ”
“ Great experience!! Loved the place, food was on point and Billy, the bartender, was great. His cocktails were pretty good and we had a great time talking to him. Highly recommend this hidden gem. ”
“ This place is simply amazing, every detail in the decor is unique, the food is exquisite, rich in flavor and very good portions, we tried the Rock’n’Shrimp, Crispy Rice and the Hawaiian fried rice, all delicious. The drinks are also very good, we tried the Lychee Nut Daiquiri, the Martini Colada and the Sexy Colada, all rich in flavor and the presentation is simply out of this world. The place is a gem, highly recommended. I suggest making a reservation because when you arrive they give you the choice of where you want to sit from the best seats, and although this place is beautiful and cozy, it is also small. Our waiter was very friendly and always on top of every detail, he was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks we tried, he made sure our experience was unforgettable. We will definitely be back! ”
“ Great atmosphere! My wife and I came here for drinks for my birthday tonight and it did not disappoint. Tried several different cocktails and all were delicious! ”
