    All about location! The location is perfect and the music is great! Other than that, I would keep looking if you are in the search for good food. This is more like snack bar at food at restaurant rates. I paid $20 for a burger and bag of chips. If it was a good burger, I'd be good with that, but it was on par with a very basic fast food burger, so could have paid about $5 for something similar or better. That said.... I think I was more paying for the music and beautiful views, being on the water. If you are looking to hang out in a chill place, and are not that concerned with food quality then I highly recommend the spot. Otherwise, like I said earlier, Id keep on looking :-)

    Service was friendly, definitely short staffed- but not the staffs fault. They were doing the best they could - especially on a Friday after the popular Farmers market. Be patient and prepared to chill out.

    Great tacos, tasty margs, and a stellar location! My husband and I headed to Lake Dillon for a day of paddle boarding (which did not disappoint), and after some time on the water we decided on an early happy hour. The Tiki Bar is a cute spot right overlooking the lake and mountainous views. It has a cool vibe, being made up of a few docks lined around the area. Plenty of patio seating and very laid back feel. Oh yeah, totally puppy friendly too. Our server, Charlotte, was great. She was masked and kept a friendly social distance. We were seated fairly far from other tables and given paper menus for single use as well. Plus, there's specified entry and exit ways to keep human traffic movin' safely. There aren't a whole lot of items on the menu, as it seems they limited it for now. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tiki Rita (aka margarita on the rocks), and my husband was happy with the Pug's Pilsner. Five stars for the Tiki Tacos as well, dang those were delish. The blackened cod was perfectly seasoned and there's no better topping combo than pico + avocado. Jonno really wasn't a fan of his chicken tenders, so I was kind enough to share a taco! I wouldn't hesitate to return. Hopefully see you again soon, Tiki!

    Great place to end the day with a fruity cocktail. The view cannot be beat with both the lake and mountains. Very lively vibe.

    Awesome place for some sunshine and super drinks if you're soaking up the Dillon lake side! Stopped here after hiking around the reservoir and it was the perfect way to end the ride. They've got tons of fun drinks on the menu so probably something for everyone. When we visited there was some live music but there are multiple places to sit so you can either hang out close for the music or find your own space if you want to just chill. Both shaded and sunshine options for sitting.

    This picture of their $6 portion of squeeze-tube guac says all you need to know: Come here for the environment and pay the price of admission through supremely mediocre food and slow, barely-competent service.

    Awesome view

    Awesome views and great drinks and food. Shrimp po boy and lava flow were greatttttttttt

    We cycled from Frisco marina to Dillon marina and stopped at the Tiki Bar for lunch and drinks. The atmosphere is great and the location on the water is perfect. The place was busy and the service was a little slow, but we had a great time just watching the boats and sipping on a few different cocktails before we rode back. Would highly recommend a stop here if you are in the area.

    The location. Lots of stairs (FYI) or you can walk around the parking lot and go down that way.

After…read morevisiting Adrift Tiki Bar, I'm convinced the problem isn't me, it's the lack of good low and no alcohol cocktail programs around town. Adrift absolutely gets it. Their no alcohol cocktails are just as thoughtful, balanced, and well presented as their alcoholic ones, which made the experience feel intentional instead of like an afterthought. I tried several drinks, including their no alcohol Mai Tai, Painkiller, and a few tropical forward options, and every single one was well balanced and flavorful. Nothing felt overly sweet or flat. The Anchored Tides in particular stood out with a bold, bitter profile that still felt refreshing. The food was also solid. The spam musubi and wings were both really well done and paired nicely with the drinks. The space is fun, vibey, and welcoming, especially if you're not drinking and still want to feel included. This is a great spot whether you're doing Dry January or just want a well crafted drink without alcohol. I'll definitely be back.

Both my girlfriend and I asked him multiple times to stop, but he continued anyway. After it became clear that he wasn't going to respect our boundaries, I raised my voice (not yelling, just firm) and asked that he stop serving us and that another bartender take over due to his aggressive and inappropriate sexual behavior. Instead of addressing the situation professionally, he immediately told both of us to leave the bar. This was an incredibly uncomfortable situation to deal with, especially on New Year's Eve, and it left us feeling embarrassed and disrespected. The first thing my girlfriend said to me the next morning was how uncomfortable that bartender had made her feel, which says a lot. I truly wish we had never gone to this bar. No one should feel pressured, sexualized, or thrown out for speaking up when their boundaries are repeatedly ignored.
