    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.

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

    The service was great and very attentive. Dog friendly patio. The food and drinks, meh. We had: The rum runner (slushy drink with a rum floater), Kokomo, and a Pilsner. Chicken fingers. Rum runner - caveat, I'm not a fan of out of the slushy machine drinks to begin with. It was ok? Not anything to write home about, but drinkable. I ordered thinking it was going to be more like a rum punch. Kokomo - super sweet. Tasted like it needed another shot or two bc it was that thick purée syrup overtaking the drink. Could not drink it all. Pilsner - run of the mill Pilsner. Chicken fingers - 5 fingers and a bag of Lay's chips. You can pick BBQ or Ranch dip. Kinda like chicken strips you buy in the freezer section and fried.

    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.

I've been here a few times over the last couple years, and it's become a go-to for me in the area. I'm a sucker for a good Mai Tai. And boy oh boy, they make a great one here. Definitely ones of the standouts on the classic cocktail menu. Flip the menu around and you'll find unique original drinks. For the classics, stick with Mai Tai, Jungle Bird, Saturn, or Piña Colada. We came here after an event where there was appetizers, so we didn't want to commit to entrées. Jungle has a nice selection of tropical appetizers, burgers, chicken tenders, fish tacos, etc. This was my first time eating here. We ordered the ceviche and nachos. Ceviche was very sweet due to the passion fruit (actually way too sweet) but I appreciated the execution of the shrimp, lime, and other ingredients. The nachos were solid with a white queso. A fancier/island take on a bar staple. Wouldn't run back for either personally, just my preference! We sat on the patio and service was prompt and friendly. I would like to sit inside one day, keep in mind close to half the seating is outside the actual bar. But on a beautiful night in Boulder, it's a great place to be. Definitely recommend Jungle. It's not one of those overly pretentious tiki bars. It has a nice neighborhood bar feel, albeit their talent behind the stick. Check them out!

    My husband and I love tiki bars, so while in Denver we stopped for drinks and dessert at Adrift…read more This small space is transformed into the tiki ambiance with hanging lamps that resemble netted glass buoys, chandeliers made of puffer fish, pinup hula girls, and a large portrait of Marlon Brando in "Mutiny on the Bounty." Seating consists of clubby booths, small tables, high tops, and the bar. You can make reservations, but we managed to snag a table on a Friday evening as a walk-in. Tiki drinks are notoriously strong, but there are also sections of the menu for low ABV and non alcoholic drinks, which is good for me! I got the El Presidente, and my husband had the POG mocktail. Both yummy! Also yummy was the chocolate Kaluha toffee mud pie, which was awesome but very rich so the perfect thing to split. We didn't have dinner here, but we heard the next table going into raptures about how good their food was. Since the space is rather cramped, you will hear all the gossip from the drunk people at neighboring tables, which got hilarious after a while. Our server, Alex, was friendly and on the ball. Overall, a fun spot for dinner, drinks, dessert or all three. Mahalo!

    Seven of us crawled out of a convention hall and made our way down South Broadway. We had spent the…read morebetter part of a week speaking in the specialized, high-altitude jargon of modern educators, and our brains had turned to a substance resembling lukewarm oatmeal. Denver had been baking under a relentless sun all week, but by Tuesday night, the universe repented. A cool breeze moved across the tiny outdoor patio like a formal apology from the atmosphere. The inside of Adrift is a total, unapologetic capitulation to the tiki gods. There is no half-heartedness here. It is a full-throttle environment of tropical greenery, bamboo, and high-proof rum. Naturally, in such surroundings we ordered drinks to stop the psychic bleeding. My eyes landed on a cocktail called The Adrift. The menu warned that it carried a strict limit of two per person, that the ingredients were protected by a non-disclosure agreement, and it featured two tiny skulls drawn next to the name. When a piece of paper warns you that a liquid is a state secret and might compromise your motor skills, it is your duty as a curious mammal to order it. It arrived in a heavy ceramic mug buried under enough foliage to hide a small sniper. It tasted marvelous and dangerously smooth, the sort of beverage that politely informs your frontal lobe that it is no longer in charge of the evening. A coworker ordered a classic Mai Tai, which only had one skull on the menu, a cautious, low-stakes life choice. She took a sip and made the exact face a person makes when they discover their pockets have been picked. Our server, who was hyper-alert to human discomfort, pounced instantly. Instead of hiding behind the ice machine, the bartender actually walked out to our patio table a few minutes later. She explained she had tasted the pour and realized the orange liqueur had been completely left out of the build. She apologized like a real person who had made a real mistake, and fixed it immediately. In a world where most businesses spend millions trying to convince you that their errors are actually your fault, this level of raw, unprompted honesty was impressive. We ordered a small mountain of plates to absorb the alcohol: Hawaiian mac salad, Volcano Fries, Spam musubi, and crab rangoons. This is communal, heavy, satisfying food meant to be stolen off your neighbor's plate while they aren't looking. For the main act, I had the Pirate Smash burger, which hit that strange, perfect note of sweet and spicy without overcomplicating a simple sandwich. There are grander, more expensive dining rooms in Denver where people look very serious and eat tiny portions of expensive foam. But Adrift gives you exactly what you need when adulthood becomes too heavy a burden to carry: large drinks, good grease, a slight breeze, and a room full of people who have temporarily forgotten about their responsibilities.

I'll just say there are some very noticeable decorative choices throughout the space that gave our table plenty to laugh about. If you're looking for a standard cocktail bar, this isn't it. If you're looking for a memorable night out, this absolutely is.
