    Not a lot of parking, almost all spots belong to convenience store or vape shop w "no parking"…read moresigns. Enjoyed my time here. Music was a little loud. Hard to have a conversation. The front bar was awesome. Kinda an indoor outdoor feel. Bartender was friendly and quick. Not a big liquor selection, but to be expected at a "dive". Got wings, cheese sticks, fries, and corn. All food was great. Decent prices. Will definitely go back.

    First time visiting the Tiki Bar today. Opened atmosphere, Laid back feel to let the "good times…read moreroll". Sorta a "Margaritaville"feel. We came to have a couple of drinks and appetizers. We were greeted by a wonderful waitress by the name of "Eve". She was very welcoming, thorough and attentive.. She has been here for 9yrs !!! and made us feel very comfortable. We ordered: Blackened Scallops (keep in mind, they shrink when cooked - but we're DELICIOUS! Battered & Blackened Gator Bites- (DELICIOUS!!, They we're both awesome but the Battered were my favorite, personally) Fried Jalapeños- My husband & Brother in Law RAVED over them. Jalapeños are too spicy for me. Battered Mushrooms - Absolutely GREAT!! Nachos- w/Beef,Lettuce,Cheese,Salsa and Sour Cream. (The Nachos come as Nacho Chips w/Salsa) so if u want like loaded nachos , you just have to let the waitress know what u would like to add and they will add no extra cost) They we're good , I wasn't too impressed but non the less -Ok. They offer a full Spirits bar and several didn't kinds of Beer (In bottle nothing Draft). Oh - and let me say , the prices for what they offer and the Quality that you get are incredible, very affordable. ($$$) There is music for your selection via Touch Tunes , you can play at the box or download on the phone. Sooooo.... As a conclusion and overall recommendation.... It's a % a go for me. It's up the street from my residence and a great place to go to for some drinks and good food. I'm glad we stopped and Checked it out.... You will be too. Give it a shot and ask for "EVE" !.... She ROCKS !!!

Locating this establishment was pretty easy. Parking was easier !! I located a space directly in front of the place. They also have parking lots every 1-2 blocks. Anyhoo, we had a 45 minute wait; cool. We sat in the car and people watched until it was our time to shine. Finally it was. Whew the entrance was nice. 1 way in and 1 way out of here !! We were taken to a table near the back. This place was very nicely decorated. We were assisted by Breanna who was pretty awesome and helped us pick our beverages of the evening. GREAT CHOICES!! We ordered... Nui Nui Pandan Killer Gochujang Glazed Wings Everything was well crafted The beverages were a great size, well priced, and well concocted. The wings were fresh and a great portion size for hubby and I to share. We had a fantastic time visiting this speakeasy and it's highly recommended !!

We stopped in one evening after dinner for drinks and conversation. Get there early because it gets busy quickly. We got there about 8pm and found a table but within an hour or so the place was packed. Highly recommended for a drink or two.

    The Hang Ten Tiki Bar is a great new addition to Adventure Island and just what Adventure Island…read moreneeded! I was so surprised to see before Hang Ten Tiki Bar opened that all the bars at Adventure Island had pre-mixed frozen drinks and I can't buy a Margarita, Mojito, or a simple mixed drink like a Rum and Coke anywhere in the Adventure Island Water Park. Luckily, now I can! As the water park's first full-service bar, the laid-back vibes of Hang Ten Tiki Bar offer an all-new wave of refreshment to guests with hand-crafted signature cocktails, fan-favorite local brews, and a regional and international rum selection! Hang Ten Tiki Bar offers the Hang 10 Daquiri, Surfin' Strawberry Margarita, Beach Bum Mojito, Mahalo Mule, 2 types of Frozen cocktails, non-alcoholic frozen drinks, more than 20 international and local Florida-distilled Rums, a Surf-themed rum flight, a surf themed beer flight, Tiki soft pretzels, empanadas, and local gulf smoked fish dip with a pineapple relish. The Island Lava Flow Frozen Cocktail came with locally made Siesta Key Toasted Coconut Rum, Pina Colada, and Strawberry and was pretty tasty without being too sweet. 9/10 The Caribbean Corkscrew Frozen Cocktail came with Sailor Jerry spiced rum, bahama mama & cherry. 8/10 The Longboard Flight came with locally made craft brews including Free Dive IPA by Coppertail Brewery from Tampa, Beach Blonde Ale by 3 Daughters Brewery from St Pete, Graffiti Orange Wheat Ale by 7venth Sun Brewery from Dunedin, & Big Wave Golden Ale by Kona Brewing from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The tiki theming is nice but a little too subtle. There's a love of Tiki bars already in the Tampa Bay area on the water with better theming. Management could go further in adding more tiki theming. Personally, I'd rather have more types of locally made beer than have 20 different types of Rum. The mixed drink selection is pretty nice but could be expanded. It would be nice managment added a pain killer and a mud slide. Pricing is pretty reasonable. If management could add some tacos or more food options, that would be great too! Overall, while there are some areas that could be improved upon, I am very happy that the Hang Ten tiki bar was added to Adventure Island and highly recommend that you visit if you're at the Adventure Island Water Park! I look forward to trying more off their menu soon!

    I wanted to love this place. Sadly, I can't recommend it at this time. The first impression, was…read morean almost pitch black parking lot, in an industrial/sketchy neighborhood. It was supposed to be a Tiki bar and considering some of the areas we've found gems, we pressed on. Once we reached the entrance, we saw two Polynesian masks, unfortunately, once inside, no totems and almost no "Tiki" drinks. We tried a Blue Hawaiian, which was not up to par, though ok, for the environment. Initially, we were greeted by Country Music, in a supposed "Tiki" establishment. They do have a few nice tiki roofs and even two of the staff (I assume the owners, were wearing Hawaiian shirts). Televisions were abundant, unfortunately, the bathroom situation at present is "mobile". Upscale port-a-pottys. The string lights they have outside, big bulbs and over half of them off when we went. Now for the service, we were greeted by a sign that said seat yourself, it was rather busy, so we decided to sit at the bar. We saw five bartenders, some of whom saw us sit down and get done with the menu, but they seemed more dedicated to their phones than their jobs. I had to get their attention. Five of them and not a single one seemed to care initially. Moving on, the place is right on a lake and if they actually put effort in and promoted it, this could be a spot. In it's current state it needs serious help and some better quality drinks and servers. I can't comment on the food, saw bad reviews and considering the "Tiki" drinks on offer, I didn't want to waste any more money. Hopefully they'll take this review into consideration and improve.

    I absolutely love this place now! The new owners took over on July 1st, and they've already made…read moresome incredible improvements. One of my favorite upgrades is the new deck--you no longer have to walk through sand and end up with sandy feet, which makes a huge difference. The drinks and food are very reasonably priced, the new staff is friendly and attentive, and the service has been consistently great. They also have live music four nights a week, which adds an awesome atmosphere. With its beautiful waterfront setting on the lake, great food and drinks, fun live entertainment, and welcoming staff, The Tiki Cove has become one of my favorite places to relax. It's clear the new management is doing an amazing job, and I highly recommend checking it out!

First you check in at the hostess booth in a small room where she does her spiel and fully explains the menu. Then she will lead you inside the restaurant to your seat. We sat in a private nook in the corner which accommodated our 8 people (which the staff was fine with us adding 2 more to our 6 person reservation initially). The entire place is so well decorated and if you look around there's tons of fun details and decor. The menu is made up of a map and they provide everyone with their own personal flashlight to see it. When you order certain drinks, it triggers various special effects. At times, it felt like an adult rainforest cafe with changing sounds and lights. Our server went above and beyond to make our experience great, going all out with his special effects and overall sassiness. You get a two hour allotment and our server did a great job of updating us of how much time we had left. We will definitely be back!

They really did a nice job with this place land the theme on every square inch of the place! We had a group and got a nice private booth in the corner. Our server was the best he made it so much fun. The drinks are very on theme and they have them divided by how much alcohol is in each. Some are even made to share! Also we learned as we went that some of the drinks come with a special show! I'll keep the surprise going and not tell you which ones! They are quite expensive (over $20) and the ones I got tasted awful...but it was more about the experience! I think it is more of a novelty type place but really fun with a small group.
