Would definitely recommend making a reservation if possible because this small speakeasy gets busy pretty quickly. All the drinks here are good and I love the tapas that come with it. The vibes are great and the bartenders are pretty friendly.

Cute little tiki speakeasy that feels like a hidden island gem. Great if you love all the fun, fruity, beach cocktails! It's definitely a vibe while you're in the city. We'll be back and making reservations next time for sure.

First know.... This is a hidden gem so you'll need a code to enter this Tiki vibe speakeasy. Service goes beyond good customer service these folks educate you on their cocktails blend what year they were created then who. Also Provide what snacks pair with what Tiki Drink. Many of their drinks are rum base with recipes from all over the world. Music is like being in tropics or bayou or Pirates den with friends. Come join this inventive Tiki Speakeasy. Should be on your bucket List as it's ageless!! Cheers.

We spent a day off in Galveston and were surprised to learn about this hidden away speakeasy-style tiki bar. We were greeted immediately as we entered (and as our eyes adjusted to the moodily-lit shack), and the bartender was friendly and made our drinks quickly. The mini food pairings with the drinks really elevated the experience too. This is a must do for tiki lovers!

I was finally in Galveston and couldn't wait to try this place. It is amazing!! The ambiance, the bartenders, the drink and food pairing, everything! Love, love, love this tiki bar!

I highly recommend making a reservation and having at least 6 people in your party. This bar has very limited seating but so worth it! As the door slides open you will enter into another world! I don't want to give away all the cool details of the bar but they really put a lot of thought and work into making you feel as if you have escaped to a tropical oasis! I love that they pair food with each drink. The portions are small but you can order more sides for around 5.00. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. I wish that you could choose a different food item for each drink but they said you can't. My favorite drink there is the chi chi!

This place is too awesome! From the decor and ambiance, to the service, to the food and drink... 5 stars across the board. I was excited to try it because I love the speakeasy vibe (secretive dark places please me so much), but how they hid it all is extra clever. If you didn't know it was there, you'd never be able to tell or find it. It's brilliant how they pair snacks with each drink, and we are talking top notch snacks! No trail mix or plain chips here. The drinks themselves are so inventive and I love their creative twists on classic recipes. You'll want to go through this whole menu.

This place was fantastic! Mel was our bartender and she was very charismatic with wonderful suggestions. All of our drinks came with mini food pairings. And the atmosphere was nothing but tiki vibes! We'll definitely be back!

This bar is amazing and the staff is so friendly. Would highly recommend everyone had a great time here even the non drinkers in the group. Bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will be back!

Brad and his team have nailed it! This speakeasy style Tiki bar has all the elements that made places like Trader Vic's, Tiki Tatsu-ya, and Trader Sam's famous. It only seats around 30 people, making it even more special! Well conceived variations on classic tiki style cocktails coupled with delicious tropical food pairings made this one of my favorite bar experiences ever. Tips: Entrance is via a coded door lock! You must join their mailing list to get notified of access code. The code changes frequently, so do it now! As a party of 5 or more you can make a reservation at Resy. Otherwise, you'll have to wait in line to get in, which could take a while, but you can grab a drink at Daiquiri Time Out while you're waiting. I don't want to spoil the surprises in store for you, so I won't say anything more other than - GO, JUST GO!

Cute little tiki bar, Mel was a great bartender it was cool watching her make all the drinks.

Ambiance sitting at the bar. The lighting was intimate and felt like you were immersed in a true tiki experience.
Bernardo M.

Went here during a small beach getaway to Galveston and was absolutely impressed! The ambiance was that of a traditional tiki hut and was giving very romantic vibes as well. The space was great for a date or even special gathering with friends (if you can reserve a table). I enjoyed that every drink was coupled with a food plate that complemented the flavors, it was truly a niche experience! The drinks themselves were also fairly strong and full of flavor, so that's always a plus, haha! Highly recommend getting the secret code to this spot and checking it out next time you're in Galveston!

Great ambiance, fantastic tiki drinks, and perfectly paired delicious bites!

Great ambiance, fantastic tiki drinks, and perfectly paired delicious bites! Service was great too. Didn't have to wait long for drinks at all.

Couldn't get in during the day, so we checked out other places. I was looking forward to a tiki experience in Galveston.

Clear Lake

Intro: After checking out two bars in Clear Lake, we were looking to complete the trifecta. A quick…read moreYelp search revealed that there was a tiki bar 10 minutes away. I'm all about tropical vibes so we made our way over for a nightcap. Located in a shopping center, parking won't be a problem. We were there pretty late on a Thursday night. Ambiance (4/5): Tiki bars are all about ambiance. Hawaii vibes. What's cool about The Great Kanakas Atomic Tiki Bar, outside of their excellent name, is that they're indoors but the bar makes you feel like you're actually outside. I liked the concept. Relaxed with the vibes you would expect at a tiki bar. Service (4.5/5): We sat at the bar and our bartender was attentive and friendly. She even recommended an off-the-menu drink that other folks like which was a nice touch. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet so I'm not even sure if they have food. Drinks (4/5): When you're at a tiki bar, you're looking for a creative mix of flavors with a nice presentation. I went with a cocktail with such a cool name that I couldn't say no. You'll know it when you see the menu. It's a long name, sounds very Hawaiian, and you'll have difficulty pronouncing it. You'll get a kick out of it. While the drink were solid, I've seen more elaborate tiki drinks elsewhere. I'm talking the type where fire is evolved or fancy garnishes. Overall: Clear Lake surprisingly has quite a few cool bars. This is one of them.

We popped in briefly early on a Saturday evening, and were unimpressed. There was very little…read more"tiki" about the place other than the drink menu and the "hut" over the bar -- certainly not the music, which was pretty typical modern, and overall I just had the impression of a dingy bar. We tried a couple of drinks, and they were fine, and the bartender was patient and helpful. Perhaps it gets more interesting when it gets busier later at night, and sitting on the patio might be nice when the weather is cooler. This is just not what we're looking for in a cocktail bar, but YMMV..

Squeeze - Watermelon Rita, very good. Normally go for a beer, but a boat drink sounded good

Google is magic. I will say that no matter how fantastic the bar or options look, you will certainly have to bring it when it comes to making my favorite bevvie of choice. A group of Texas Realtors recently descended upon Galveston island for the annual TAR convention Sept 13th, 14th, & 15th. We were all wondering where to go one evening and luckily I was able to recommend this place --- thanks to "Yelp's A Beach" August 18th hot tip. Good- The location is fantastic!! Right next to "the Spot" and it's a stone's throw away from the beach. So the breeze coming off the Gulf in the evening is amazing!! It's the perfect blend of indoor/outdoor, you can choose to sit downstairs at the Margarita bar or upstairs overlooking the water. The multi-colored lighting creates a festive ambience and you can't help but be in a great mood. The decor is not too fancy or shabby either you could come straight from the beach or dress up for a night on the town. Now for the drinks ---- When I walked up to the bar and realized there was a wide selection of delightfully yummy sounding Margaritas to choose from I faced a major dilemma. Not only were there tons of options but also sizes. Unbelievably, you can choose 20oz up to an amazing 100oz-- I am assuming the jumbo size is for sharing with friends or at least one hopes. I finally settled upon the 20oz Margarita Sunrise, but the Mojito RIta was a close second in our group. They both were well made, on the rocks, and a solid 4 out of 5 limes in my book. Bad- You can't order Ritas upstairs, but you can take the ones you buy with you. Ugly- Nothing to report. I absolutely Loved it!!!!! Hope they franchise! I want one of these up on Lake Conroe.

I'm a Tiki Geek so any chance I have to hit a new (for me) tiki bar and down a delicious tropical cocktail, I jump on it. The bar is located in a very unassuming location within a tiny little strip of businesses in the suburbs of northern Houston. Signage outside isn't obvious but once you step inside, you're transported to a little slice of paradise. Service was fantastic...the bartender (Jonathan) was very helpful guiding me towards what to try and gave me some Lei Low swag, too. The fellow seated at the bar next to me turned out to be the owner, Russell Thoede, who was very nice and we engaged in a nice chat about California tiki bars many of which he has visited. The drinks I had were fantastic; Donn's Original Zombie ($18) and Ground Control ($17) and stack right up there with the best we have here in California. Love the different tiki mugs for the different drinks. Thank you, Russell and Jonathan, for such a great experience! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Everything was really good and the price seemed a bit high but totally justified! I enjoyed how they put in the effort to do a bit of a refined twist on normal dishes. The inside looks like a slightly tiki-themed restaurant and I was a little let down by the lack of the typical tiki themed booths, decorations and bamboo/wood trim. The outside however had great ambiance, and the server was very accommodating with us moving to the sandy beach chairs. The service was great, the food came out fast and overall it was a great experience!

Its "Dark Tiki" ambience is a chill, weird vibe (in a good way), with intriguing artwork everywhere you look, and the fresh ingredients put the cocktail program up there with Lei Low and Pineapple Parlor. We first had the Saturn (with non-alcoholic gin) and the Puka Punch, and then the Kobra's Fang and the Bay Breeze (made with non-alcholic vodka). Both were just SO delicious! If you're a tikiphile, make this a regular location for your nights out. The only recommendation I could make to management is that our table needed a wipe down (there was a light dusting of something grainy on the surface), and the menus were a bit sticky, but the experience was so wonderful I consider that a small inconvenience and nothing worth missing out on this fun venue for! FYI: The only entrance is now through Betelgeuse Betelgeuse; stop at the hostess stand and ask the lovely employee there to be seated. The doorbell is no longer mounted at the bar's entrance.

We went here for a friend's birthday on a Thursday. We had reservations for a large group but I don't think it's necessary if you are going solo or as a couple. The staff is really nice and the decor is extravagantly kitschy reminding me of the waiting room in the Beetlejuice movie. Which makes sense given the headshrinker in that movie. Being a tiki bar, there's a vast selection of drinks ranging from $18-42 depending on the size. They gave us a complimentary entry drink and I think there was a two drink minimum. I had a Bay Breeze and a Bitter Bird. Tasted the Silver Surfer. All were okay, but I haven't been impressed by too many sweet cocktails.
