Such a cute place to stop by and grab a few drinks, eat some small bites and watch a game! It wasn't super crowded so there were lots of options to sit whether at the bar or one of the small booths. I was super impressed with the themed drinks and glasses! We ordered at the bar and everything came out fairly quickly. Would definitely return to see what seasonal drinks are being offered.

I stopped by here after dinner. As it was still happy hours for another 20 minutes, it was great. My first time here which it's located in the art district just along Magnolia Blvd. It's metered street parking but you could get lucky and find residential parking nearby. As it was rainy, which is rare to say about LA. But it's been a miracle with all that we had. Anyway, they do have a patio area outside in front but it wasn't utilized with the rain. Inside it's a cool vibe. A nice bar that also offered food. We made it before happy hour ended so it was great for a drink. Not only drinks specials, there was also small bites food specials. There's also a regular menu with food as well as the regular cocktails. It's a full bar so whatever you like I'm sure it could be prepared. Felicia took care of us when we arrived. Very sweet and so friendly. Nice to walk into a place where your chatting with someone versus just sitting down and that's that. Some people prefer that but I like to mingle. It's a bar but could also double as a sports bar. Loads of seating along the big stretch of bar as well booths seats along the wall and more seating towards the back. There's also a stage that host different events nightly. We noticed an open mic night, trivial night and so on. There was a screen along the bar area that was displaying all the different events happening. It's a cool spot that we walked into. Even though I've walked past by it loads of time. A cool place with a nice happy hour menu. Drinks were great. Oh, we had both the margaritas with a salt rim and tajin rim. Both was great and happy hour price of 10.00. Will definitely be back for more cocktails especially with great service and friendly staff. And there's loads of television for whatever sports you're into. They had a security guard when we left but not when we arrived.

I love this little place. It's a cozy little spot offering tropical cocktails, small bites and spinning the best tunes. You never know what you'll hear when you walk in but it'll be something good. There is searing along the bar, small booths along the side wall and larger booths and tables in the back. Service is always great. I like to stop in and have the shumai, fries and either a responsible drink or an irresponsible drink in a bucket. The bucket drinks are fun but quite sweet and some come with gummy candies like sharks. Parking is a nightmare but I usually get lucky. Come and stay a while though, it's a good time.

Holiday Cocktails
Parker G.

The CanTiki is a great NoHo spot for fun drinks and vibes! I recently came to the CanTiki for their Sippin' Santa Holiday themed set-up, and had a total blast! The themed drinks were really creative, fun, and I loved the different mugs that come for each cocktail. We tried a few rounds of drinks - my favorites were the Hot Buttered Grog for a warm drink, and the Holiday on Ice for a cold drink! The Hot Buttered Grog was soothing and felt great to sip, while also having a good kick and strength from the liquor! The Holiday on Ice, on the other hand, gave satisfying chills and was similarly strong! I also really appreciated the care that the bartender took into preparing each individual drink, taking a few minutes...but it was well worth the wait! I also loved the variety of seating available - from bar seating, high tops, booths, and tables. This is a great local spot in NoHo and I highly recommend for a casual Tiki bar to hang at for some cocktails and chats!

CanTiki is one of those places I've had in my back pocket for a number of years and went back and forth on visiting just based off the photos and reviews I've seen online. I finally checked it out and found it to be an odd mashup of clashing themes. It's called "The CanTiki" which implies it's a tiki-focused/themed bar, but the decor and ambiance were far from tiki-esque. The bar itself is really divey and doesn't have much (or really any) actual tiki themed decor. The cocktail menu is decent for a divey tiki bar, but the cocktails felt a bit out of wack. The service was alright, but not the best. Against my better judgement I asked if they offer swizzle sticks to which the bartender gave me a dirty look and very rudely snapped back with a "no". The saving grace for CanTiki is their cocktail program is fine for a dive bar, but I wouldn't bother stopping by if you're looking for an actual tiki experience.

Went here during the holidays for the Sippin' Santa event where they offered different festive tiki glassware to go with the holiday cocktails. The vibe was local, friendly and fun. Bartenders were attentive and took good care of us. They made sure to thank us for stopping in, which was a nice touch. I'm also a big fan of tiki bars and it hits that mark, too.

Wanted to try a new Tiki bar and came across The Can Tiki. It has a laid back atmosphere, plenty of tv's to watch sports. During football season they are a Cincinnati Bengals bar and serve Cincinnati Chili items. Drinks a delicious. I had the Ghosted Girl, has the right mix of sweet and spice. My husband had the Huana Pina Colada, which was delicious. Definitely will come ba

This is a prefect place to get a mixed drink. The bartenders are super friendly. Great vibes all around. Bartenders choice " You talk we concoct" on the menu is a great way to go. They do not disappoint. Shoutout to one of the owners that made a couple of my drinks. She's amazing!

Drinks have been really solid the last few times I've visited. Service is always great. And Beachbum Berry's Sippin Santa holiday overlay is GREAT! Very cozy holiday vibes. Highly recommend.

We went to this bar on a Friday night. It was crowded, but we were seated right away. Honestly, chicken wings are so good. They were spicy, but not too much. They had perfect seasoning. I really recommend ordering wings. Drinks were tasty too. This place is pet friendly too. I saw couple of people bringing their dogs inside and dining. Overall, this is a cool bar to spend time on a Friday night.

Yes I Cantiki! Happy hour daily 3pm-6pm and they have the best bang for your buck on cocktails! $8 cocktails...3 of them can be upgraded to buckets for only $4 more. You get a bucket of LA River Water for $12 is a steal in North Hollywood! our server/bartender was the best. Very attentive and always checking in on us. We came in for a few apps & cocktails and we're so happy we did! Great space with tables and buffet seats in the back with a TV. Plenty of bar seating and a few 2 top tables up front. Looks like they may have a DJ play sometimes. The vibe and decor is everything! Outdoor patio seats to people watch, but a little too hot to enjoy just yet. The happy hour pricing and what you get for the prices are amazing! I am so excited to have found CanTiki! You have made regulars out of us

It's smaller than I expected with more outdoor seating than indoor, so be aware during summer time and I'd recommend mosquito repellent! We did not make a reservation (I do recommend if you want indoor seating on busy nights) but we came at 4 pm and got a table that was reserved at 9 pm so we got to sit until we left that table at ~8:30 pm. We loved the indoor tiki decor and thought the whole vibe of the place was so cute and charming and we did appreciate some of the other customers who dressed up in Tiki style clothing as well. We did get dropped off/picked up but there's theoretical street parking out front for your DD (drink responsibly!!). They had a summer drinks special menu and we got the TBD and the Pure Imagination, I preferred the pure imagination. But our absolute favorite drink was the Nutty Chi Chi, a vodka blend on a classic Piña Colada! They don't serve food themselves but there is a taco stand out back after ~6pm that takes cash + card (card fee!) and will drop off food to your table. Such a fun night and looking forward to coming around again!

One time I was sad because they made me wait long as a solo walk-in when I let a couple go ahead of me and I walked out. So keep an eye out, it depends on who's working the front. The reason I still give them 5 stars is because they have since made up for that. It really is a beautiful place, and given that they're a relatively new establishment or a busser could have stepped in if they're busy, so just give them feedback if they need to work on things like that. The food and drinks are so unique to their place, continuing that "hidden jewel" theme. Their menu is limited but all quality food, like you're going to that friend's house and you love their recipe style. I loved the chicken sandwich the best, the crispy chicken was so juicy! Their vegetarian options are devilishly good too, with their happy face potato fritters and fried mac. For drinks, my favorite was the chocolate banana. They use real ingredients, so it really hit the spot for me. The family and kids love it, such a great vibe that you'd never expect.

Every single plate was on point. The branzino was the standout -- crispy almond crust, fish cooked perfectly, not a dry bite on the plate. The crab cake was all crab, no filler, and the caprese was fresh and simple the way it should be. The real star of the night was Scott, the bartender/owner. He took care of us from the second we sat down, recommended everything we ate, and went out of his way to make Edward's birthday feel special. You can tell he actually cares about the people in his room, not just turning tables. That kind of hospitality is rare.

It's become so much more than just one of our favorite bars and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The biggest reason, though, is the people. Hospitality is something that's hard to fake, and the team here does it effortlessly. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted like an old friend. Over the years, the staff has created an environment that feels welcoming, comfortable, and genuinely personal, and that's something that's become increasingly rare. Matt, Sabrina, and the entire team are all such gems. Scott also deserves special recognition. He's a huge part of what makes The Rendition Room such a special place. Whether he's introducing a new cocktail, sharing the story behind a spirit, or simply taking the time to check in, his passion and care for every guest shine through. It's people like Scott who transform a great bar into a place you truly feel connected to. On our most recent visit, we tried the new Decade & Debauchery cocktail, celebrating The Rendition Room's 10 year anniversary, and it's phenomenal. Balanced, and beautifully executed. In a city full of great bars, they have managed to create something much harder to find, a sense of community. After all these years, it still feels just as special as the first time we walked in.

I usually pick my own restaurants, thank you very much - but my friend knows my tastes, and she also knows restaurants... and so when she suggested this place from badass former Top Chef contestant Antonia Lofaso, I was like: let's see if her food is as good as she boasted it was on TV! Verdict: it slapped! First of all, they have a hella good happy hour, until *6:30 pm*, Monday - Sunday. Is that generous or what? We ordered at 6:25 and they still hooked us up. *Full craft cocktails* only $8 during that time. We decided to double up LOL, get 2. I tried the Hand Maid and the Southern Cawing. I think that if I'd gotten one of the cocktails from their regular menu (like Piccolo Punch, $19), it might have been more interesting - but these were very solid. And where are you going to get 2 craft cocktails for $8 each? Food: we got the corn fritters from the HH menu: 4 hulking delicious fritters for $8. Yes, please! We then decided to split 2 apps from the regular menu: brussel sprouts and the hamachi app. Both were unique and tasty. And then I got for myself (cuz my friend doesn't love smoked fish like I do) Smoked ocean trout, ciabatta, pickled baby veg, arugula, dill shallot aioli- $25. It was on a toast, and super filling. Overall, the patio was great (sun in our eyes at that time, but they pulled the shades down) - the servers were super nice - the valet was easy - and Antonia's food was great!
