Tiki Chick I will always love you! Just such a fun place, you can't beat the vibes. The drinks are of course, pretty intense and sweet but that's what you come for! Service can be a little lax but servers are all kind and chatty, just a little busy at times. Their sandwiches are sooo good and simple. I will always return to Tiki
visited for the first time and was instantly charmed by the decor! The place is incredibly cute, featuring kitschy decorations and fantastic wallpaper that give it a unique personality. The drinks were great, and I loved the fun cups they were served in. The staff was also super friendly, making the overall atmosphere very lively and fun. However, the food menu left a lot to be desired. Seeing items like Spam on the menu felt a bit uninspired and lacking in culinary depth. It's a fantastic spot for a fun drink and a great vibe, but I highly recommend eating somewhere else before you drop by.
You can't beat the $5 chicken sandwiches and snack bites. The sauce on the link wave was 10/10. Also a fan of the various fruity and frozen drinks. Service was a little slow but it was lovely to sit outside with our dogs on a nice day.
It's hard to beat $5 chicken sandwiches! We tried volcano chick, hot honey and pink wave and liked them all. The volcano chick was my favorite of the three. For drinks I had the caipirinha with mango which was good but very strong. The vibe here is great and very lively, and all employees were really friendly. It's a great weekday spot or spot to meet with friends
I came here last week for their Grinchmas overlay. The vibes were so fun for the Holiday season and they had so many specialty cocktails, just for Grinchmas! I had the Cindy Lou Who, which came in a sparkly snowglobe cup. It was so cute and was actually very well balanced. Not too sweet at all! I also tried the Grinch margarita, and it was really great! It tasted like a prickly pear margarita and was perfectly tart. We also tried the who hash fries. They were weirdly great?! They had this like onion/apple mixture on top that was really unique. Just wish there was more of it! Overall, this holiday overlay was so fun and I hope they do it again next year! Only negative was the service was not the best. Our original server left and then the person who took over made us feel sort of rushed and unwelcome at the end of our experience. Other than that, we had a great time!
Tiki Chick seems to be the take coût counter for the Tiki Bar on Amsterdam and 85th. They only offered two chicken sandwiches. I ordered a hot honey chicken sandwich for take out with extra pickles. It was $5.00. The sandwich was fantastic, and hot. The chicken was moist and thick. Please see photos. It was ready 10 minutes after I ordered. The Tiki Bar seems very lively and there was a line to get in. Great outdoor seating for patrons of the bar.
My friend has been wanting me to try Tiki Chick for years and we finally went as part of her birthday week. The cutely decorated Bar serves drinks with their signature Tiki toothpick and mini umbrellas. Happy hour drinks are good and the staff is patient. Do not sleep on the food menu, the chicken sandwiches hit the spot with the cocktails. I enjoyed the pina colada a lot and only needed one. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in the city.
Read about the $5 food menu a while back and got reminded when a fellow yelper mentioned to try the sandwiches. So, went twice when in the area. Decorated with artificial greens and polynesian theme plus added halloween/holiday decor. The bar is centrally located. Not really drinking, so just focused on the food menu - $5 per item. A variety of sandwiches, more with fried chicken (just different toppings and sauces). Picked the one with spam and pineapple. Actually good sized sandwich and tasted alright (though I prefer spam toasted up). Chili fries were ok. Shrimp ceviche had a citrusy sweet sauce (like shrimp cocktail sauce) - I was ok tasting it that time but will pass on it. On the second visit, I complained of a chemical taste in my water. Smelled my glass and there was an odor. I was offered a replacement water but wasn't comfortable drinking from there anymore .
MANHATTAN / Upper West Side: Looking for a fun spot with tropical vibes? Tiki Chick is a fantastic tiki-themed restaurant and bar and best of all, their outdoor seating is dog friendly! We indulged in some seriously tasty sandwiches, including the vegan tikilafel (a falafel lover's dream) and the spicy volcano chick (crispy fried chicken with just the right kick of heat). Their massive tropical drink list is a vacation in itself, and the seasonal Spooky Chick cocktail menu adds a festive twist. The "Simply Meant to Be Mezcalita" is perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. Leashed, friendly pups are welcome in the colorful outdoor area, complete with covered and heated seating for comfort. There is also additional covered seating along the street, so there is plenty of space to relax, sip something tropical, and enjoy an affordable meal in a fun, laid-back atmosphere.
After exploring the natural history museum, we decided to head to Tiki Chick, where the warm and welcoming service made us feel right at home. The fun ambiance was enhanced by the lively World Cup game on TV, and since we visited during happy hour, it was the perfect way to unwind. Jesus Z. was fantastic at the bar--super friendly and helpful, making our experience even more enjoyable and relaxed.
Merry Grinchmas! The Christmas themed decor was the draw on this visit otherwise not a place a frequent. Of course we ordered from the Grinchmas menu! I had How the Grinch Stole Coquito $17. It was very strong and very frozen so hard for me to drink. We tried The Who Hash Fries. In general I've come to the conclusion I'm really not a fan of their fries. I had the hot dog for the first time and that's an amazing deal for $5. It's massive (foot long) and loaded with chili (Spam) and cheese. I'd get this over the chicken sandwiches going forward. It was a fun experience and we were lucky it wasn't super busy on the Sunday afternoon we went!
They've solidified itself as my top 5 favorite bars in NYC. It takes away the pretentiousness and moxie of a Manhattan to create a fun, whimsical space that always leaves me beyond satisfied. The staff are angels that treated you like you just entered heaven. I suggest if you have a smaller party sit at the bar. Its tiki theme obviously- so theres a ton of extravagant cocktails. Jungle Bird and Shark Snacks are my two favorites if you want to feel like you are transported to a white sands and blue waters. Also I would I can't not forget to shoutout the bar snacks. The Tiki Fries ($5) and Pink Wave - Chicken Sandwich ($5) are delicious at an unbeatable price. One thing to be aware is that they don't have reservations so could be packed at times.
The appetizers, the cocktails were full proof and not watered down, but most importantly my waitress was AWESOME-SAUCE. The best fun in a loooong time, especially having stimulating convo with strangers. The effectuating ambiance is the intoxicating energy in the background.
$5 chicken sandwiches filled with spam, pineapple and delicious fried chicken ? You heard me right. Various $5 chicken sandwiches all day, all night. Not a happy hour special. Just the regular menu. That in itself gets a 5 star review. Now drinks... If tiki is done right, tiki drinks are the absolute best cocktails - delicious and strong. This was both. Good happy hour options, and worth it even without. read more
Back in New York after 4 years and this was a must stop for me! Still just as delicious as it was 4 years ago. We got the frozen pina colada and the frozen margarita and both were quite delicious. They still have the 5 dollar sandwich deals but we didn't try it as we had just ate food. We did get the fries just to munch on and they were great curly fries. Anyone in manhattan needs to come to this awesome Tiki bar! read more
Great place, awesome drinks, wonderful service. There's not much of a food menu, mostly chicken sandwiches hotdog fries, but you didn't come here to eat. I won't deny that the $5 chicken sandwiches are an amazing buy though. It's not some cheap little chicken patty on a bun... It's a nice healthy piece of chicken breast. I had the volcano chick, and it was delicious. A spicy sauce with a very soft bun, I really enjoyed it. It doesn't have a true tiki atmosphere, it's more like a beachfront bar feel, but the many drinks are tiki traditional and phenomenal. Hurricanes, piña colada's, etc are all strong and tasty. You save a couple of bucks if you go during their happy hour which I believe is from 4 to 6 PM. The service was outstanding...Marissa...I'm talking about you...! She was wonderful with a great sense of humor. The only problem is that she's a One Direction fan (just joking, it's an inside joke). I highly recommend you come check this place out one evening before it gets too cold... there is plenty of outdoor seating and it does get busy from about 5 or 6 o'clock on. Casual and fun. read more

I had this spot saved for months, and every time I get discouraged to go there due to being little bit far from Midtown. But Let me tell you, my visit here was worth the time and the ride. Environment: It was on point, with a lot of seating a.d good music, this place is a must for brunch or catch up with a friend kind of vibe. I would note, that you might need to RSVP during high season and peak times, cause when I got there, I found a line outside. Luckily for me, my group got a table beforehand. Service: The Waitress was great she kept checking every now and then to clear the table, refill the bottle, and take in any extra/new orders we had. Food/Drink: The fact you can get a very good quality of chicken sandwich for 5$ is unbeatable, to the point I took an extra one to-go, even the size was almost the same as a regular sandwich, and the meat was the perfect size. I would note that the fries need some improvements! The Pina Colada was also a great add-on as it offered a great mix sweet and fruity taste to the drink. read more
The menu is simple, but why re-invent the wheel? Most cocktails are $14-16, but they're known for the piña colada ($15) and that's why we went on a rainy summer day. It was rated best in NYC, so I had to check it out. The cost for the cocktail, but their chicken sandwiches are a steal for $5. It's a no-brainer to get a drink and a sandwich. The hot honey chicken is my go-to but the s'tiki tiki is also yummy. Expect to wait a line if you don't have a rsvp. It's always crowded no matter the season because tiki is a vibe. The good news is that you can also order from a window to carry out. read more
My friends and I saw that Tiki Chick had an amazing deal for food so we stopped by on friday night to grab a quick bite and some drinks! The line was quite long but we were dedicated to try. The place was packed and people were hanging out and dancing. The tables and seating alongside the outside of the bar were more chill. We got drinks and the frozen ones were amazing! We also got multiple sandwiches since it was all $5 and it was all delicious. We will for sure be back! read more
Love this bar, it's one of my go-tos. Honestly, been hesitant to write this review for literally 4 years because I'd hate to blow it up and never be able to get in. But they're so great, staff, patrons, everyone, and they deserve the recognition. The $5 sandwiches are all amazing, and yes, only $5. It's your classic tiki bar, it's got very fun (very expensive) cocktails and fun cups and treats. I have never had a bad time. read more

Excellent bartending service and delicious cocktails to boot! Tiki Chick hosts a very fun atmosphere as well. This is a great spot for a night out, especially given the super cheap food menu! Do: Stiki Tiki, Chicken Sandwiches Don't: Shrimp Ceviche, Tikilafel Food: 4/5 Price: 5/5 Experience: 5/5 read more
I'm going to be honest when I say I did not come here for anything besides the 5 dollar hot honey sandwich special. We arrived around 2:30 on a Friday and it was empty. The bar was completely empty (it was again 2:30) but we got 2 hot honey sandwiches to go. The service is nice. You cannot call ahead and order but their website I think takes orders. The sandwichs are 5 dollars each which is an absolute steal for nyc prices. I cannot recommend those sandwiches enough. The service was nice and kind. They let us put our bags down gave us water while we waited for our sandwiches. The bathrooms are well kept and I'm a big fan of the decor on this place. The sandwiches came out within 10ish minutes and were delightful. The hot honey with black pepper provides a great kick. I truly enjoyed it and every now and then I crave more hot honey sandwiches. I was told the other sandwiches are not as good. But 5 dollars for the hot honey sandwich is definitely a deal that I will be coming back to take advantage of. Loved it. read more

I visited during happy hour with a large group. I ordered the piña colada and the hot honey chicken sandwich--both were delicious. The chicken sandwiches are just $5, which is an incredible deal for NYC. The drinks were pretty strong. Service was friendly and efficient, and overall the vibe was fun and relaxed. We sat outside, which was nice, though we were pretty close to the road--that was the only minor downside. Otherwise, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back. read more
This tiki bar is kitschy and fun. Get there early or you won't get a seat. The food menu is small, mostly sandwiches but they are the perfect combo with tiki drinks. They've updated the menu so you can get several cocktails low or 0% ABV. read more
The $5 chicken sandwiches are such a good deal and taste good as well. The frozen marg was a really good consistency. Loved the theme and for week nights it's always crowded and a fun vibe. Would highly recommend. read more
Cannot beat the $5 chicken sandwiches - what a great value! My party and I took our sandwiches to go so we ordered from the side window. It is about a 15 minute wait. The spam topping could have been fried a bit for some color or sauced up. The footlong hotdog was good - average hot dog but the chili improved it. I preferred the hot honey fried sandwich! The decor, outdoor patio, and music look like a fun time. Will be back for the $5 sandwiches if I'm ever in the neighborhood. read more

Loved my first visit here! Just wish they didnt close so early during the week. Last call is at 11pm when they close at 12am. The bar tender was super kind and had a great conversation with me! Hope to be back soon! read more
Absolute banger spot in the UWS (went for a friends birthday). Despite waiting in the freezing cold and being given frozen shots while we waited in line we persisted and it was absolutely worth it!! We all ordered the pina colada as recommended by our 2 friends who frequent the bar and it was sooo good even on a 30 degree cloudy day. It took me back to being on the beach in Hawaii . Also the $5 hot honey chicken sandwiches are to dieeeee for, they are insane for $5! Unbeatable really. Really great ambiance if you can't get inside and can't wait to come back on a scorching hot day!! read more
Rarely do i ever give a place 5 stars. But this joint, definitely deserves it! I wasn't really sure what to expect from here. I saw it on Instagram and thought it'll be a cute place to grab a drink and catch up with an old friend. So i trekked it all the way from Brooklyn... 2 trains to make it here! Lol. When i got out of the 1 train station, the sky opened up lol. Thankfully, it's only about 2 blocks from the train so it wasn't terrible. It was packed! It was around 630pm when i arrived and they had an outdoor patio, and indoor and bar seating. I chose the bar area to wait for my company, and took a look at the menu. The menu is impressive! You also cannot go wrong with a $5 chicken sandwich from Jacob's pickles!! It was so good. The ambiance definitely gave what it needed to give. I immediately fell in love with the style of the bar. The music was reggae/ Caribbean music which went well with the theme. The bar itself is gorgeous! They have seatings for 2 and if you come with a group, you can grab a table and couch in the back for your party to have a couple drinks and catch a vibe. The drinks are served in these cute tiki cups which look so fun when it comes to the table. I ordered the once upon a pond for my first drink... (i wanted the turtle but they were out of them for my order) but the drink presentation was still good. It tasted like a sex on the beach just stronger. So good. Then i ordered the cobras fang which had a shot of 151 on fire in a lime on top. They truly wowed me. Thats for sure! All in all 5/5 for this place. I will make the venture from Brooklyn on public transportation to come and bring my friends so we can add to the vibes. I love this. Definitely go if you need something to do and wanna grab a cute drink. See pics below read more
Tiki Chick is my new favorite happy hour in the UWS! Service was great! The vibes were so fun, friendly, and welcoming! And 5 dollar chicken sandwiches... you can't beat that!! Drinks were 12 dollars during happy hour (anytime before 7), and STRONG lol! Loved this place and will be back!! read more
Came here with my husband's job summer party. So we had a limited menu. We got Pina Colada- can't ever go wrong with this one Shark Snacks- which was super cute! Good as well, very light. Mai Tai & a Mystery Drink- which we didn't like. The Mystery Drink had a strong minty/vapor rub taste imo. Food was ok. Love the Bacon Steak bites though! Service was great & the ambience was fun. Feel like you stepped into an island tiki bar. read more
Funky, kitsche vibe. The waitress was also the manager was fabulous. From the Viking drink, to the mai tai, to them, making me a blue Hawaii when it wasn't even on the menu, this place was spot on. Bummed that we didn't get a chance to try the five dollar foot-long. Next time read more

Can I stop by with my daughters who are not yet 21 years old? They would eat. I would eat and drink.
Under 21s are welcome before 7pm!
How would this place be for a casual first-date type place? Or is it too noisy for conversation?
I think it would be great, they do have music but you'll still be able to have a conversation and it's pretty much a bar with a small food menu so it works for a casual hang out kind of vibe.
Do you serve espresso martinis? Or your take on them?
We have our house Espresso-Tiki tini: Santa Teresa 1796 arabica Coffee Cask, Giffard Cafe du Honduras, Cynar, Cold Brew, Vanilla Bean infused Coconut Palm Sugar, Mole bitters,…
