    Had a nice happy hour at the Bahi Hut. Great drinks and great Old Florida atmosphere. The service was top notch. Looking forward to coming back soon!

    Perfect old school tiki drinks and a great atmosphere! Helpful bartenders. And the drag bingo was a lot of fun.

    Looking for something offbeat and over 21? Drag Bingo at Bahi Hut is a hilarious, unforgettable night out. The bar is small but full of energy. Grab a tropical cocktail and settle in for a show - especially if Mrs. Georgia is hosting. She's fabulous, funny, and can sing.

    Not bad, just an odd experience. We really wanted to love this place; however the staff was off and didn't provide the hospitality that we were looking forward to. Keep your expectations low, and this is a hidden gem. I say that because we were there mid-week, and the weekends are probably way more lively.

    A time and thing for everyone. Outstanding old school tiki venue during the day and hopping night life spot at night. New drink menu with divergence from rum base are tasty and of course old school tiki drinks too. This place is a must stop for everyone.

    We love this place! What a gem. Florida's finest that everyone needs to check out. The best Mai Tai around. Food is limited but really yummy. The tiki flair is super cool. Feels like you are on vacation! A must try!

    What the Polynesian Bali-Hai seaside dreamscape step-into-the-past in every way possible, has this Bali-Hut been my whole life? It's the been right here. "As the nation's longest running Tiki bar, since 1954." But don't come in here with your BS and unchecked vibe; check your vibe at the door, hush your volume and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, amazing fresh strong drinks, great island music and appetizers. Paul, our bartender, crafted our drinks (1 x Hawaiian Honey Bee; 2 x Bahi Aloha) with care and brisk expertise. Good dude. Aloha and Enjoy; we will be back!

    Ah Bahi Hut, what a find. Florida's oldest Tiki Bar since 1954. We saw this gem right on Tamiami Trail as we departed the airport enroute to our VRBO. Fortunately for us it was only a few blocks from where we stayed because we fast became regulars. Great atmosphere and fantastic cocktails. The bartenders are extremely friendly and they gave us the entire history of the lounge and the adjoining Golden Host Resort. We told them that we were looking to move to Florida the next few years and might have settled on Sarasota. Each bartender was full of knowledge on the area and so patient in explaining what it has to offer. A must stop. Belly up to the bar and take it all in.

    I have already given this place my detailed four-star review, so I am not sure why it is asking me to review it again. I love this place for drinks and Drag bingo!

    One of the best tiki bars in Sarasota! New menu! Delicious drinks and a chill vibe. I love the Saturn and the Key Lime Daiquiri.

    The Bahi Hut lived up to all my Tiki Bar expectations (which were high to say the least). Will was an amazing ambassador of the tiki life for someone only on the job for a month. Ownership has stayed true to the history of tiki bars. Amazing time and I'll be back!

    Ok so the road appeal is not as good as it could be. Kinda looks seedy motel, but once you go into the bar and enter the old tiki bar In Florida it's very retro and tiki vibes. I had the original Mai tai and the Saturn. Nice takes on both drinks. Lots of great garnish and nice people at the bar. We went on Thursday night around 530. Only people inside some others joined but the inside was very cute. I will def go back to try some yummies for snacks.

    The drinks the table ordered were strong, but weren't the best tasting. They had live music, so it was nice to chill there with friends. Bartenders were nice.

    Are well adjusted, tiki embracing, older kids permitted?

    Honestly, I wouldn't bring my kids. While its quiet and fine in the early afternoon, it can be a different story in the evening/night hours. Maybe just stick to a brewery if your bringing kids.

    We tried this hookah place for the first time while we were visiting Sarasota. It was really nice…read morehanging out here after dinner. We had dinner nearby and came here for some hookah and Moroccan tea. I love Moroccan mint tea and their tea was pretty good! The hookah was great too. I tried mint flavor. We had the place to ourselves and just relaxed here and talked. The service was very good too. The place is nice, cozy and small. Not too big but it's enough to just chill at any evening. I don't have hookah often but occasionally it's nice to hang out and enjoy it. They have many different flavors of hookah available. I didn't check their menu but just had tea with the hookah. We will return here again once we are back in town. Their mint tea is special because they put real mint in there and you can taste it if you are into that kind of tea! The plaza is not very big either and you can easily miss this place but you should try it if you like hookah. Hookah is fun with friends or family. They use good quality coals so the hookah lasts awhile. The owner lets you play any music you like by connecting with the free Wi-Fi. I think that's a really nice touch to be able to play any music you want! So we ended up playing some Bollywood music while enjoying our hookah. Overall it was a fun experience! Here are some pics of the tea and the place for you to check out next time you are in the area.

    What an absolute gem of a restaurant. The ambiance is artsy, whimsical, fun--and it all just works…read more Really well. Our server, Juliana, provided absolute perfection. She was bright, effervescent, eager to please, extremely knowledgeable about every drink and food item on the menu, always present when needed but never hovering. She has perfected her craft and it made for a wonderful experience. The menu is written with flair and verve, and every offering seems irresistible. We wanted to try everything, but of course couldn't, so we made do with a couple of their signature cocktails (wonderful), a flatbread appetizer (also wonderful) and the very delicious meat loaf and the gemelli pasta entrees. I 10 out of 10 in every respect. We were quite concerned that we were the only patrons in the restaurant during our entire meal. It was early on a Tuesday evening in low season, but still. I hope more folks discover Wink Wink as it would be a shame to lose such a treasure. I would think they might want to consider offering a happy hour to boost things a bit. On the other hand, they could be doing very well and we just hit an off night. Go. Try it. The whole experience will be very entertaining with the art and whimsy of the decor and the menu. Great vibes. and the service and food were wonderful.
