One thing we quickly noticed in Solvang is that there aren't many places open late, so finding High Roller Tiki Lounge open until 11 PM was a huge plus! After a delicious dinner nearby, we stopped in for drinks, live music, and a good time and this place delivered. They had a great live band playing fun tunes that really set the atmosphere. The vibe was relaxed, lively, and exactly what we were looking for to end the night. Their drink menu is packed with creative and fun options. I ordered the Mango Michelada, and it absolutely did not disappoint. Our waiter was also fantastic, very attentive, friendly, and kept checking in on us throughout the night. If you're in Solvang and looking for a fun late-night spot with good drinks, music, and great service, High Roller Tiki Lounge is definitely worth stopping read more

We wanted to start our Friday night by grabbing a drink and checking out High Roller Tiki Bar, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the start. After walking in and passing the host stand, a server who was seated at the bar got up, walked us to a table, and suggested we sit on the loveseat. The host was friendly and welcoming, and the space itself seemed promising. We were excited to settle in, have a drink, and check the place out. The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, but shortly after we were seated, a larger group came in. From that point on, it felt like we were completely forgotten. The server focused on the larger party, taking drink orders and delivering beverages as more guests from their group arrived. Meanwhile, we sat waiting without any acknowledgment. Another group of ladies was seated nearby and appeared just as confused about who was helping them. We both work in the restaurant industry, so we understand that larger parties can demand attention and that things don't always go perfectly. We tried to be patient and give the team the benefit of the doubt. However, after waiting more than 15 minutes without anyone checking on us, taking a drink order, or even acknowledging our table, we decided to leave. What made the experience especially frustrating was that the restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived. We never felt welcomed beyond being shown to our table, and ultimately it felt like our business wasn't valued. Hopefully this was just an off night, because the atmosphere and concept seemed like something we would have enjoyed. We'd be willing to give it another chance, but first impressions matter, and unfortunately this one missed the mark. Sadly, it looks like we definitely missed out on the famous Bowl for Two. read more

I want to start by saying that I have never in my life experienced such a negative response when walking into a place. I wanted to love this place because of the aesthetic however, the owner (guy who wears the golf cap) immediately seemed annoyed that my friend and I wanted to grab a drink there. He just handed us the menus without acknowledging us. For reference it was not busy. So we sat down and he did stop by to take our order. There was one couple next to us and WOW! He came and asked them "Where are you guys visiting from?" And that was a whole conversation. He then came back a few minutes later to ask how their drinks were. And my friend and I were not acknowledged one bit and we were sitting right next to them and were the only ones in the room with them so it was very obvious. We did not feel welcome at all. It was such a bad feeling so I will definitely not waste my time or money at this place if I were you. read more

I loved the tiki bar! They really went all out with all the details and we kept pointing out different things about the decor My mango monsoon was perfection. I would get this drink every time! The mugs were so cute! The server was friendly and gave us recommendations around the area since we were visiting from out of town read more

I've always seen this place but never had a chance to try it out. Either we didn't have time or when we do, they were closing. Well, it was a festive weekend in Solvang and literally everyone was out and about enjoying the holiday season and lights. Pretty much everything was packed or a major line. Decided to try this place out for a drink and to warm up a little. It's not a big place but quite roomy. There was patio seating along the side as well as the main bar area right when you walk in. It's smaller in that room. But we were seating in the back room which was slightly bigger. I can say it's quite a cool and creative fun place. Hawaii meets cocktails obviously. A cool design of the place giving tiki bar. Sofa seating along the wall and hi top tables and tables along the sides. Drink menu was fun. Pretty much mixed cocktails. As it was the holiday, they also had mulled wine which I did try. You could purchase the holiday mug that it comes in if needed. It was quite tasty and perfect for the holiday spirit. Warm and smooth but with a little special touch. Also tried the prickly pear margaritas and mojitos. They came with a lighted ice cube for the extra sparkle. Drinks were good and festive. It did get busy as people were starting to trickle in. It's a cool bar in Solvang. Drinks were pretty tasty. And priced well. read more

It had been a few months since our last visit to the High Roller, and unfortunately this experience was very different from the previous one. It appeared that there was only one server, one bartender, and the owner working during an extremely busy time, which made the overall experience feel overwhelming and unorganized. When we first arrived, we were seated immediately, which was great. However, once we sat down, the service went downhill. Our order was taken, but after waiting over 20 minutes without receiving any drinks, my boyfriend went to grab waters for us. When he asked the bartender for cups--since there were none at the self-serve station--she rudely pointed out where the water was, even though he already knew. He had to remind her that there were no cups available. The drinks themselves were good, but the service was very poor. I understand that the owner is heavily involved and clearly puts a lot of effort into the bar. When I asked how he was doing, he seemed rushed and stressed, as he was acting as both server and bartender. He mentioned that things would be better if customers weren't yelling at him. While I sympathize with being understaffed, the frustration from customers seemed to stem from the long wait times and lack of service. The inside of the bar is cute and well decorated which makes me love this cool little spot, but sometimes the decor gets washed up by the service. Overall, the potential is there, but better staffing and customer service are needed to improve the experience, Especially during the holiday season when it's jam packed with tourists. read more

Stumbled upon High Roller on a weekend trip to Solvang and honestly, it was such a fun break from all the Danish bakeries. The vibe is super tropical--it feels like a little hidden patio getaway. I wasn't sure about wine-based tiki drinks at first, but they were actually really good (and a nice switch up from heavy rum drinks). They have beer too if that's more your thing. Just a heads up: they don't serve food, so definitely eat before you go. Great spot for a casual tiki drink. read more

Had a wonderful experience at this Tiki lounge. I arrived for early morning drinks at 11am. Don't judge me, I was on vacation ;) The vibes at this place were great, and the drinks were even better. They also have a great retail area in which you can purchase shirts and tiki glassware. The bartender that helped us was very friendly and loud is plenty of time to make our decision. The drink menu was extensive. I wish this place was close to my home. I would be there at least once a week for a delicious tiki drink read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in on a Friday night and the place was nearly empty when we arrived. We were greeted by a server who appeared to be sitting at the bar as a guest. She handed us menus, but after a larger group came in, it felt like we were completely forgotten. We both work in the service industry, so we tried to be understanding and waited about 15 minutes without being checked on or having our order taken. At that point, we decided to leave. It was disappointing because we were looking forward to having a drink and checking the place out. Hopefully this was just an off night, but our experience made us feel like our business wasn't valued. read more

While spending the weekend in Solvang I was so happy to find a place like this open at night. Not a lot of places are open and lively like this Tiki bar. We had a bunch of good drinks in fun cups all night and it was a good night. They also had live music which was a plus. The service was friendly and the layout of the bar is cool. There is three main places to hang out at this tiki bar. For drinks I would recommend the blue Hawaiian. This spot is worth a visit anytime of day or night if you are in Solvang. read more

Such a fun little establishment in Solvang. Very dog- friendly service. They kept us all hydrated and comfortable as we were seated in the upstairs vip. It felt like we were at home curled up on the sofas in front of the tv. There was a lot of fun memorabilia all over the walls including an old cigarette machine. It was a cozy setup and made for great conversations. The cocktail menu was extensive with something for everybody. Prices were not crazy either. The drinks were made well with little accessories as decor. read more

Okay, fellow tiki travelers- these are wine-based tiki drinks. They are not as strong as liquor-based drinks. I have been here many times over the years, back to when they were in the back of Sort This Out Cellars. The owner is still the owner and the tiki environment he has built is right up there with the best tiki bars still in existence. This most recent visit was right at opening time (1:00 pm on a Monday) and Solvang was still jumping with weekend visitors. We ducked in from the families and other assorted tourists on the sidewalks of Alisol Rd into the relatively cool and definitely dark environs of the High Roller. Our bartender and consummate host Dylan was there at the bar, smiling and ready to answer questions. All tiki drinks (except bowls) are $13. I chose a Blue Hawaiian for the aesthetic and the nutritious pineapple juice! It's blue and comes with a light-up cube (don't steal it, you can get your own online for cheap). I did get a buzz (as a seasoned imbiber) but on an empty tummy so no guarantees on strength rating, you party animals. The back room from the main bar is my favorite room - it was dark and quiet and so well decorated with lights and sound and all things tiki. This is one of my happy places and I'm coming back for their murder mystery event on April 19! read more

Do you want to be whisked away to a tropical beach with a fancy drink in hand? This is the place to go--minus the actual beach, but all the beachy vibes are here! From the décor to the atmosphere, it's like stepping into a vacation. The drink selection is huge, with tons of creative cocktails that lean into tropical flavors. Whether you're into something strong, sweet, or somewhere in between, there's something for everyone. It's unlike any other bar in the area--fun, unique, and full of personality. Perfect spot to unwind, sip something colorful, and pretend you're on island time. read more

0/5 If you appreciate well-made, high-quality tiki cocktails, AVOID this place. These drinks were genuinely disappointing and a disservice to classic tiki cocktails. Both drinks we ordered were overwhelmingly sweet, made with low-quality ingredients, low-quality alcohol, and old citrus juice. The orgeat in the Mai Tai had a strange marshmallow-like flavor, and the Zombie was so syrupy it was undrinkable. We actually thought they forgot the alcohol and doubled the grenadine. My husband summed it up best: "This is actually the worst cocktail I've ever had." No wonder the bartender doesn't like tiki drinks... At $15 per drink, the experience was especially terrible. The decor and overall vibe were fun, which makes it even more disappointing that the drinks were so awful. read more

We gave this place two chances, and they disappointed us both times. We went with friends visiting out of town for the vibe because we thought the decor was super unique and cool, but I don't think the vibe could really make up for the service and quality of the drinks. The drinks were not only weak, but a few of ours were nearly undrinkable. The Traveler's Tai tasted like straight up lime juice and mint. Maybe that's why the "rum" was in quotations on the menu. Definitely way overpriced at $15 for what you get. The waiter also only stopped by at our table to take our order, and drop off our drinks. He went to the tables around us multiple times to make sure they were okay, see if they wanted another round, etc., but completely ignored us the rest of the night. After waiting around for 30 minutes for him to come over with the check, our table started taking bets on how many minutes it would take for him to come back around. 30 minutes after we placed that bet (so after about an hour of waiting), we gave up and just went to the front to pay. When the waiter asked us if everything was okay, and we told him our drinks weren't that great, he said, "Oh. We haven't heard that in a while." We weren't really expecting an apology, but I feel he could've dealt with that better. In all, really wouldn't come here again and definitely wouldn't come with guests. If you're looking for a cool vibey place with good drinks, I recommend anywhere else in town. read more

This review is a shoutout to Tayla, who is friendly and approachable; she made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in. My friend and I loved her energy and sarcasm. They also had delicious drinks (I ordered no pain here!). The flavors were perfectly balanced. I was looking for something tropical and fruity, and this delivered! I also loved the nods to Disney also as the owner used to work for Disney. The only downside was not having food available. I think some tiki or tropical themed small bites would make all the difference. Otherwise, I would stop in again the next time I'm in Solvang. read more

Super fun atmosphere, really adorable decor, fun vibes, and truly great drinks! I know it's a little silly, but I just love it when they put those little glowy things in the drinks. It was so festive, and really makes you feel like you're on vacation! Tricks were delicious, and surprisingly strong! Stop in here for a fun cocktail after dinner, you will have a fabulous time! read more

VERY slow service. Waiter purposefully rotating around our table and helping others, avoiding us. The drinks are very light to basically no liquor, not worth the price tag. We had to walk up to end our night after 30 MINUTES. We politely told the absent bartender about our bad experience, and he did not have any intention of fixing the issue. Cool lights in the drinks, though. Smh read more

We came by on a Saturday night and checked out the colorful and quirky decor and setup in the various rooms of this tiki lounge, eventually finding our way into the live music lounge Club 433. We had a reservation, but it was not necessary in the early hours of the evening. The band on stage, Skunk Puppy, played familiar covers, like No Doubt's Don't Speak, Britney Spears' Toxic, and REM's Losing My Religion. The vibe was casual and carefree, the staff friendly and helpful even as the place got busier later in the night. The drink menu was awesome. We tried the slots o' fun, cuba libre, strawberry mojito, and silent scream, and all of these cocktails had unique and entertaining presentation, the beverages lit with green light-up ice cubes, and playful accessories topping off the sweet and tasty concoctions. We had a fun and memorable time and loved every minute of our experience here. read more

5/5 High Roller Tiki Lounge - Solvang, CA "This drink will get you lei'd"... and honestly, so will the vibe! Stumbled into this hidden tropical gem in the middle of Danish Disneyland (Solvang) and I'm so glad I did. The High Roller Tiki Lounge is everything a Tiki bar should be--kitschy, colorful, cheeky, and just the right amount of chaotic fun. From the second I walked in, I felt like I'd been transported out of wine country and dropped into a 1960s island dream. The interior is packed with glowing float lanterns, thatched walls, nautical ropes, and vintage Tiki decor galore. There's even a canoe bench. A CANOE BENCH. I ordered their signature cocktail called "This Drink Will Get You Lei'd" (because obviously), and it didn't disappoint--fruity, strong, and served in a tall glass with a stylish stir stick and citrus garnish that screamed vacay mode activated. The drink was sweet but balanced--dangerously easy to sip. Menu is filled with other bold names like "Zombie Viking," "Missionary's Downfall," and "Suffering Scandinavian" (Solvang representation ). Whether you're into rum, gin, tequila, or just embracing your inner island explorer, they've got something with a twist of tiki madness for you. Service was chill and laid-back, as expected from a Tiki hideout. Loved the music, the lighting shifts (those glowing purple floor lights, though?!), and the cozy little corner I found for sipping and people-watching. Pro tip: don't skip the chance to just sit back, relax, and let the room wash over you. You'll find something new in the decor every time you look around. If you're in Solvang and need a break from wine tastings and butter cookies, this is your offbeat tropical escape. I'll definitely be back--next time with friends for the Scorpion Bowl. read more

We came to this tiki bar with high hopes after reading the history and some rave reviews on Yelp--but unfortunately, the experience was a letdown. We started with every Tiki bar signature Mai Tai, and... wow. The drink came out looking so sad it should've come with a sympathy card. A single wilted leaf "garnished" the glass--it looked like the plant had died on its way from the bar to our table. My partner, who orders a Mai Tai at every tiki bar we visit, gave it a 1/10. When we arrived, the waitress told us to find a seat and said she'd come over. We did. She didn't came over. After waiting a while, we gave up and went up to the find her ourselves to order. We then tried ordering their cheekily named signature cocktail, "The Drink That'll Get You Lei'd", only to be told they were out of lemon--a key ingredient--so they couldn't make it. This was on a holiday long weekend (Sunday on Labor Day Weekend) with the bar only half full. How does that even happen? Don't bars and restaurants usually prepare a few days' supplies? The atmosphere had potential with a live band playing, but even that couldn't save our experience because after we moved to inside, we realize people were waiting for the bathroom in the middle of the bar. It just didn't feel right in every way. Drink: 1/10 Service: 1/10 Atmosphere: 3/10 (bathroom in the middle of the vibe) Sadly, we may not be coming back to this bar! read more

Long-time locals who used to enjoy this spot, but our recent visit was absolutely appalling. It's funny, if you look at most of the other 1-star reviews, it's all about how awful this female bartender is -- basically confirms that management is okay with how this bartender treats their patrons. Brought out-of-town friends for drinks on a quiet weekday afternoon. The place was virtually empty - just one other couple there. Despite this, we waited some time to be acknowledged, another while to place our drink order, then 15+ more minutes with no drinks arriving. One of our party went to the bar to inquire about our order and noticed menu differences between the bar and table menus. The bartender immediately became aggressive, shouting at our friend to "sit down" when she asked a simple question. When our friend politely persisted, the bartender exploded into profanity-laden screaming, repeatedly yelling "GET THE F*** OUT OF THE BAR NOW" and threatening police - all over a menu inquiry. We're respectful customers in our older years, not troublemakers. The entire incident was witnessed by other patrons who looked equally stunned. This was completely unprovoked and unprofessional. Management needs to review their security footage and address this employee immediately. No establishment should tolerate staff treating customers this way. We won't be back and will be sharing this experience with others. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere. read more

This is a fantastic tiki find in Solvang! They have a large menu of options to choose from, with some very interesting twists on some common classics (making something of their own out of each recipe). The bartender was 100% awesome/fun, and they also have multiple mugs to choose from that you can buy to take home with you. One of the most important traits of a good tiki bar. I always know I found a good one, when I have more than one drink! Thanks for a good time, and I'll definitely be back in the future if I'm in the area. read more
