    1944 Mai Tai
    Sarah E.

    Checked this place out after seeing it show up online. Love the decor. Super cool vibe. There's a story behind it which I like. (Don't recall seeing that at other tiki bars) Only down side for the decore is where we were sitting I ended up with my back to most of it (we were by the door) I had to turn around to really see it everything, so for me it was harder to feel fully immersed. Other tables however were more in and would have a better view of it all. We got a couple drinks each. I started with the navy grog. If you don't like strong drinks I'd pass on this one. It's not playing. Good, but definitely a sipper. (I'm no light weight and it took me some time to finish and started getting me buzzed) Next up was the 1944 mai tai. Good, but not your modern day fruity mai tai. So if that's what you're looking for, I'd try another fruity cocktail they offer. Waitress was attentive and checked on very regularly. Over all I liked it and would go again (but probably go for a high top or bar seat next time to be more in it.)

    Visited SCVs latest new restaurant The Fallen Trident. Celebrating a friends birthday with some light appetizers and a whole bunch of drinks. She is a major tiki fan so it was a no brainer to try this place out. It seems that it has only been open for a few months so it's definitely getting its feet underneath itself as a business. With it being so new there are obviously going to be some growing pains but any issues we encountered the staff took care of them which is always great. The decor feels a little forced but I'm thinking it just feels new and that will soon become old hat (no puns intended). The service was GREAT our server was GREAT. We were waited on by Jianna and her recommendations as well as descriptions were all spot on and appreciated. The pot stickers were delish. The deviled eggs were lighter than southern deviled eggs and delish. The tempura green beans were snappy and flavorful. The wings were sticky and spicy if you bit into the little jalapeños on them. A few people tried the loco moco and the ahi steak and each person was pleased. I can say we may have tried half of the drinks on the menu. Take your pick and find your flavor. My favorite ended up being the Lrrrr-Lrrrr. This will be a nice go to spot for rum cocktails. Prices aren't too bad. I can say that my one recommendation is that the music was not on point. It's a tiki bar. They would have been better off playing a jimmy buffet record all night. Whatever they were playing did not give tiki bar vibes. I'm sure that will change with time. Excited to fall back into the fallen trident.

    Santa Clarita has a tiki and it's.... Well...."It's okay", for most casual Tiki goers, but not great. It's the Tiki Bar that plays it safe and will scratch that itch-- plain and simple. Come here for the tiki vibe and maybe a buzz. However--the service here is actually really attentive and professional. I actually think the staff here is pretty great. The Tiki Bartenders are sarcastic and the waiters are polite and friendly. Great vibe! The drinks! So the best one was actually the Jet Pilot! We tried several drinks and some were better than others. Some were too dry on the pallet while others were very sweet. The Navy Grog was strong as expected as well, but not a winner either. (This information is mainly for Seasoned Tiki Bar Goers.) Overall, the drinks are fine. No special flashy drink presentations. Just tiki glass drinks. Which is all well and good. The food is probably the "could be better" for me. I had the Fish and it wasn't bad but there was NO flavor and their spicy sauce was the only flavor I could add to it. The Loco Moco was alright as well, but it wasn't bad. The rice was also very plain and didn't really complement the fish either. I am a little disappointed on the culinary front... don't come here for the food. The vibe of the Tiki Bar is pretty on bar with many Tiki Bar vibes with occasional sound fx and sounds with some slight flashing lights to go with it. It's a cute tiki vibe that one can escape into with a smile. This area is done well! Overall, it's a Tiki Bar that I would label as Good! Not great but it's fine. I would probably only get their Jet Pilot next time if we went back. Again their Staff was great. Nice little visit!

    Such a fun and cool tiki bar! The food and drinks are so good, and the vibes inside are just right. Would highly recommend going!

    This is an optimistic 3 stars for me as I really want this place to be great and they put so much work into the design and atmosphere which, on its own, deserved 5 stars. But we were there for food and drinks and our experience with those items wasn't what we'd hoped for. Full disclusure, we were there 2 days after they opened, so you can take the 3-star rating and our assessment as opening week bumps, and with a grain of salt. Bump in the road one in our visit - We had a reservation, but they seated as at a table awkwardly close to the entrance...we asked to move further in at any of the other open tables (there were a lot of them) and it involved a lengthy conversation with management...we eventually got to move one table further in. Subsequent people who were seated at that first able also asked to move. Hot-top: Reserve the high tops up against the walls...less traffic-y and you'll feel like you're actually in the restaurant. Bump in the road two - I'm a vegetarian, which means I always have to check out menus in advance, and I was excited they offered several vegetarian versions of their dishes (subbing tofu as a protein). Though when looking at the printed menus, none of those items were there, and our server wasn't aware of them. So extra time was involved communicating with the kitchen to make sure we could get what we wanted. Again, the place was brand new so I assume more than a month into it, they probably have that part together. They may have fixed this, too, but the menus were actually very hard to read in the dark and were assembled with a complicated three-ring system with hard boards surrounding the menu papers, which made them really difficult to open, and me living in fear I was going to tear pages out. Really unique, but impractical design for a physical menu. Food and drinks...It's a tiki bar, so this was their chance to really win and make me forget all my troubles. I ordered the 1944 Mai Tai - The server wanted to clarify it wasn't a resort-style super-sweet Mai Tai, but one based on the original recipe. No problem! I've made the original recipe myself at home, and that's what I wanted. What I got was kind of diluted without much discernible rum flavor in it, and it was disappointing. My wife ordered the Privateer, which she liked a lot. (I had a couple sips and also thought it was good.) The manager on duty (maybe one of the owners) came by the table to talk about the cocktail menu and gave some promising details about how it was going to expand significantly. I'm definitely going to come back and see what they've done, as I deeply feel a successful Tiki Bar in Santa Clarita is what we all need. And I also appreciate what seemed like a very sincere effort on their part to make a place that's amazing, from the overall ambiance to the food. The decor is outstanding. They clearly spared no expense making the details of what you see and hear in there part of the experience. We were there for dinner and got 3 dishes suitable for our vegetarian diets...Tempura Green Beans (over-fried...not much green bean texture or flavor left), Leviathan Garden Potstickers (also very over-fried and, more of a personal preference, but I just didn't like the flavor compared to potstickers I've had at other places.), and Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu...this was really good...I could have eaten a lot more though the dish was relatively small so the value for what we got seemed low.) Again, we were there just a couple days after they opened...they clearly have put their heart and soul into the look and feel of the place...my fingers are crossed that these were just opening week-bumps which may have already been resolved, and we will definitely give it another shot with fingers crossed.

    Amazing ambiance. The Fallen Trident is a must do experience in downtown Newhall. The sultry surroundings of the sunken ship themed dining room are well apportioned. It is evident that a lot went into the planning and execution of the reworking of this space. From the lantern fish glass buoy lamps to the wooden plank covered wall there is a lot to take in. Laci gave us great service. She checked back with us several times throughout our experience without being a bother. She wore a smile and was witty. The food runners delivered our items in an extremely quick manner and all items were as ordered. Food was tasty and well presented. Crab Rangoon actually had great flavor and you can taste the crab. Coconut Shrimp was good as well. The deviled eggs were the best appetizer we had. Very yummy. The pineapple rice with pork belly was very good and presented in a ring of pineapple. Drinks were presented in tiki glasses with beautiful garnishes. We tried several beverages each with its own unique character and flavor palate. Overall a great evening. We will be back.

    I am only giving these stars to all of the staff at The Fallen Trident and Pocock Public Brewing House. They were trying their best but this is definitely a management/ownership issue!!! This review is for both establishments as they seem to be entwined in the same building. Much chaos on who could enter, who had reservations for which place, and who could not go into the elevator. Definitely due to overlap of this place. With that said...we were excited about a Tiki joint in SCV as the valley is full of chains. The Fallen Trident...a new Tiki place that will only take reservations. I finally got a reservation at 10:30 pm on a Saturday. We entered. Not impressive. Small, cheap "Tiki" decor. Okay. Let's look at the drink and dinner menu. Seemed enticing and was looking forward to trying the fare. We were seated at a table but were immediately told the kitchen was closed and we could only order drinks. So why did I set a reservation and was seated at a table if drinks were the only option? The bar was empty and we could have walked in hours ago for a cocktail and ate elsewhere. It made no sense! Pretentious! The drinks....ummmm.....wont return. So much ice, mint, lime, etc that you actually only get a shot of the Tiki drink you asked for $14-22 each. We can't review any food as we weren't given that option from 8pm-10:30pm at either place. Nope....will travel farther into LA and SFV for better experiences!

    Overall this place is a fun spot in Newhall. From the moment I walked in it smelled like the ocean and definitely went along with the theme. The staff was great, very helpful and attentive. We sat at the bar and ordered a bunch of appetizers. The food was good, it didn't stand out as the best food ever but I enjoyed the meal. My only complaint was it was very hard to get a reservation and they don't allow walk ups but when we got there over half of the restaurant sat empty. I'm not sure if they don't have enough staff to fill all the tables but it seemed strange.

    Pork belly
    Debbie D.

    Had several of the appetizers, they were all fantastic. Ahi nachos, potstickers, deviled eggs ( yum) , pork belly, shishito peppers with edamame, and spam musuvi . Definitely enough to share for our party of 6. Favorite cocktails were the pain killer and the lurr lurr. Ambiance was true to a pirate tiki experience. Highly recommend and look forward to returning soon.

    We came here for the first time for ladies night on Thursday. Without any expectations, I was mesmerized of how the decor and ambience of this place. It's a little tight, but they make good of all the spaces. The food was delicious though there are only limited options - no chicken dish. The cocktails though are amazing. I only tried one version of their cocktails and it was delicious. The food very tasty very well presented, and the staff specially, our waitress. She was very nice and very accommodating. I would go back and really recommend this place. It's good that you can go out in Santa Clarita and find little spot like this.

    Amazing drinks. Would like to see some cool tiki cups like the water came in.

    Good food, good drinks, good vibes, good service! Wish I could link my reel! You feel like you're under the sea and they have videos playing through the portholes to help with that illusion. They keep it very dark and very vibey. Food was delicious, though the dessert maybe didn't burn all the rum off lol

    Shishito peppers and edamame.

    I very much enjoyed my time at the Fallen Trident this weekend. Service impeccable. Open 5 weeks. Atmosphere tiki. Not overly saturated, I liked the details with the barnacles on the back of the chairs, the decorated walls and ceiling, and lamps. It looked like the inside of a ship with portholes which I thought was super cool. There were also "monster fish skulls" along the walls. Neat. Music: some Exotica, some classical, some Austin Powers. I'm more of a purist and like to hear only Tikiesque music in that setting, but they are adhering to the mixed, local crowd as well. Can't fault them for that. The music was a nice touch either way. Sashimi peppers were good. I liked that they mixed them with edamame and garlic. I'm used to a little more searing but it was still tasty. I did add salt though, which was an easy fix. Mai Tai was proper. Not too complex, a little dry. Possibly needs a tad more orgeat for balance. By the way the only juice in an original 1944 Mai Tai is lime. For the people who might used to more of a resort style Mai Tai, the good news is the owner said they will be adding one to the menu soon. It will be similar to the fruity versions, and I believe he said it would have a float. Although I was two drinks in and the drinks are stiff so don't quote me on that. Definitely money will spent. The Zombie was decent, balanced and not too sweet. The cinnamon stick garnish was a nice touch. I gave them a suggestion to light the cinnamon stick on fire, and they said they are working on a new drink with a lit stick! For now I wouldn't try to pop in without a reservation, they get busy.

    One of the coolest places to visit locally. The ambiance alone is just well done - seems like something you'd see at Disneyland except with drinks! We heard via friends that had visited - it's best to get drinks and appetizers. All drinks were delicious as was the Spam musubi , chicken wings, and poke nachos.

They…read morehave a tiki marketplace several times a year, and this one was held on a Sunday afternoon from noon to 6pm. It takes place mostly in their rear patio area and parking lot, but a good number of vendors were also in an adjacent air conditioned event room. They have a very small parking lot, but it was occupied by vendors during this event. Do not park in the parking lots of the adjacent businesses, as we were warned when entering the Tonga Hut that cars get towed regularly. There's plenty of street parking in the nearby neighborhood. Entering from the rear, there is a good sized covered patio with around eight benches. We went inside to check it out and grab a drink. The interior is fairly small with four good sized booths, a lounge area with a large J-shaped couch with several small tables, and around ten seats at the bar. It is dimly lit with some basic tiki décor, and has an old-school feel. They had a fixed cocktail menu for this event which is understandable. We stood in line at the bar for about ten minutes, got our drinks and went out to the patio. The bartender was friendly, and didn't seem flustered by the high volume of patrons. I had the Horned Beast O' The Celtic Sea (Oceanus Hibernicus Irish Malt, Jamacian Rum, House Made Falernum & Orgeat, Peach, Citrus, Dash of Cherry Heering, $13). She had the Leprechaun Grog (Three Rums, Lime, Grapefruit, Honey, Spice, Soda, $14). Both drinks were good, were served in souvenir plastic cups, and were a bargain at $13 to $14. If you ordered a drink containing Oceanus whiskey, the bartender gave you a gold coin and you could exchange it with the Oceanus representative on the patio for a free T-shirt. Durango Tacos was setup near the rear entrance for food. We had four tacos (two carne asada and two veggie), and they were good and reasonably priced. This was the first tiki marketplace we have attended. There were around twenty vendors with a good assortment of art work, tiki mugs, tiki clothing, tiki décor, and other miscellaneous items. I purchased a few nice tiki shirts which were a steal at $20 and $25. The vendors and visitors were all very friendly and in a festive mood. We hung out for about ninety minutes and had a good time. We will return at some point to try their regular cocktail menu and see what it's like on a non-event night.

As regular customer for over a decade at least I feel like I've earned the respect and the courtesy of not having my id violated as a regular and a person that qualifies for senior discounts. I guess ownership is determined to ruin tiki no just like they did with the firefly and the powerhouse. In my humble opinion the tiki no ownership would be better served trying to create demand for new customers and not just being demanding of longtime friends and customers of tiki no. Maybe they should hire a monkey to stand out front to attract more customers. Everyone loves a monkey. Maybe the GM could do it. The one thing the only thing I now like about tiki no are the people that work there and worked there in the past. Hats for hiring well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

Moments later, the vibe completely turned around when the bartender blew a conch shell to award a patron a Ventiki fez, accomplished after drinking all 60 cocktails on their in-house passport.

When we all arrived together, a bouncer was at the front stand, boorish and inhospitable... his immediate attitude was downright insulting. (He wasn't around when we were there earlier.) He had previously refused to seat our friends at a table for four--even though we were just a block away--demanded we throw away our coffees, and asked us for ID. (My husband and I are in our late 50s/early 60s, and friends late 40s.) We literally had just been there for a couple hours and spent a good amount of money. Sure, I understand places have policies, but this attitude was COMPLETELY different than when we were there earlier. The bouncer was a self-important jerk about the whole thing. We went from giving them a second chance after they rekindled the aloha spirit to being completely turned off by the bouncer's egomaniacal attitude. Again, 4pm Sunday, no line or anything. Not some nightclub. Utterly unnecessary brute at the front. Rude and completely uninviting customer service. We ended up going down the street to a local brewpub that welcomed us, no attitude, no carding, and they didn't bat an eye at our coffee cups. AND when we parted ways with our friends, they told us they swung by Ventiki to talk to the manager. The manager told them she supports her bouncer and was unapologetic. If there was a society for tiki lounges with a membership card, this place should have their card revoked. They are not worthy. Tearing up the fez passport I started and will never set foot in there again.

    Such a fun awesome experience. A few months a friend was picking up her wedding dress from David's…read moreBridal so I looked up dinner options since we both drove an hour. Didn't want run of the mill food so opted to try Broken Compass Tiki. When we walked in we were wondering what we were in for. After being taken into the restaurant we both fell in love. The place was so fun, the food was epic and service tremendous. Since our first visit literally 4 months ago, I have taken people 3 different times to this restaurant. I don't live any where near Burbank but in the last few months had the pleasure of being near there and telling friends we had to go! It's so fun to go with first timers. Great vegan options too for my friend who is Vegan and usually gets a salad and fries ha.

    - Broken Compass Tiki…read more My girlfriend and I absolutely loved Broken Compass Tiki. I originally found it on TikTok, followed up with a few YouTube videos, and knew I had to check it out the next time we were in Burbank. It completely lived up to the hype. Parking can be a little challenging since it's in Burbank, but we got lucky and found a street parking spot nearby. If you don't get as lucky, driving around the block or into the surrounding neighborhood should eventually turn something up. We arrived about 20 minutes after they opened, and there were already several people inside. By the time we left, the place was filling up quickly, so it's definitely a popular spot. I surprised my girlfriend by keeping the destination a secret and just telling her we were going somewhere fun with a unique theme. She loved it. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Both the bartender and our server were incredibly welcoming. Our server asked whether it was our first visit and took the time to ask what kinds of drinks we normally enjoy before making recommendations. I really appreciated that he wasn't just trying to upsell us. Instead, he explained why he thought certain cocktails were better choices based on our preferences, and every recommendation ended up being spot on. As you'd expect from a tiki bar, the cocktail menu is heavily rum-focused, but there are also non-alcoholic drinks, a small beer selection, and wine available if rum isn't your thing. I ordered the Zombie Magic first, which was delicious and definitely packed a punch. After that, I tried the 100 Year Cigar, a Scotch-based cocktail that was perfect for slowly sipping. Both drinks were fantastic. My girlfriend ordered the Painkiller and the Navy Grog, and she loved both of them. We started with the Shut It Polly wings, crispy chicken wings tossed in a spicy Thai peanut sauce, and they were outstanding. We also ordered the Aloha Dippers with the Cajun seasoning. I paired mine with the Chipotle Citrus Aioli, while my girlfriend chose the Firecracker sauce. Both dipping sauces were excellent and complemented the fries really well. For our entrées, I ordered the Pub Burger with Irish cheddar, onion strings, and horseradish aioli, cooked to order. It was excellent. My girlfriend ordered the Shrimp & Lobster Roll, and we both enjoyed it. The only item that didn't quite meet our expectations was the macaroni salad that came with our meals. We've had some incredible macaroni salad at Hawaiian restaurants, and this one just didn't quite compare. It certainly wasn't bad, but it was the one part of the meal that didn't stand out. One thing that really impressed me was how accommodating the staff was regarding my raw fruit allergy. I explained what I could and couldn't safely eat or drink, and our server took it seriously. He made sure every cocktail recommendation was safe for me without sacrificing flavor or experience. That level of attention made me feel comfortable ordering drinks I otherwise might have avoided. The décor is also worth mentioning. The pirate-themed exterior transitions into a fun pirate-and-tiki atmosphere inside that really adds to the experience without feeling overdone. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. The drinks were strong and creative, the food was excellent, the service was some of the best we've had in a long time, and the atmosphere was a blast. There are still plenty of cocktails on the menu that I'd like to try, so we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Burbank.

    This is by far the best Tiki Room in all of the South Bay. It looks just like a tiki room and has…read morethe best design. It is ever so comfortable and the bartenders and all of the staff are great. You will love it. They have these sweet cocktails like something you would get in Hawaii. Be careful, don't drink too much of them or a nasty hangover you will have. They have regular cocktails as well and some nice sodas. You will love the way the Hula Hula Room is decorated. It is just an escape from LA life. It is only open until midnight so keep that in mind. It can get crowded and I don't think they take reservations. Call them and ask. Oh, and you can have a wee sample of the cocktail before you order it. I have not had them all. I don't drink much. But this place is a great time.

    I'd call this place more of a tropical bar than a tiki bar but it's still in the tiki theme I…read moreguess. It's more of a Hawaiian Lite kind of vibe though. The drinks were average. I don't know what I was expecting considering they seem to be trying to be a legit tiki bar but all the drinks were mostly served in the same glassware. Call me a tiki drink snob but that makes a difference to me. If you think that's nit-picking, try drinking a beer from a coffee cup and tell me if that's ok with you! Overall service was fine, atmosphere and ambiance was fine but because the drinks were average it made my experience average. Nothing bad just nothing stellar, hence the 3 stars.

    10 1/4 is a hidden cocktail bar located underneath Freddie's 35er, a popular Dodgers bar. To get…read morehere, not only do you have to go to the back of The 35er and go down the stairs, you ignore the tiki bar in front of you and make an immediately right U-turn. You reach a phone booth, pick up the phone, and wait for someone to buzz you in. This bar is different from the other two bars as it's smaller, more intimate, and focused on craft cocktails. On nights and weekends though, it can still get busy. We ordered a variety of drinks and liked the menta milk punch ($18), last word ($18), and queen's park swizzle ($16). This was my first time here and I would be interested in coming back and also check out the tiki bar too. This is a cool place to go as part of your bar hopping in Old Town Pasadena.

When you enter the 35er, you take the stairs (closer to the back door) and there's a phone booth. Pick up the phone and the bartender will ask how many in your party before letting you in. The space is small. Some reviews mentioned tiki bar and this is not a tiki bar, it's a speakeasy. They have a cocktail menu and a full bar for well/cocktails. Great place for a small group.
