Inside
Marisa T.

Great service & ambiance. We had attended a funeral in Arrowhead & stopped in here after. Chi-Chi was nice & sweet. Poke nachos were good but needed more toppings on the wonton chips. My husband had the poke bowl & said it needed sauce because it was too dry. Sunsets, their sister restaurant, looks nice. We'll be back when in the area. We always love a tiki bar.

Poke bowl
Emmanuel T.

Came out to lake arrowhead for the day & like always we see a tiki bar ummm we're gonna try it! So I ordered the pain killer & it's pretty good. For the main course I ordered the poke bowl which was on the dry side it needed some of the sauce that was on out poke nachos that were delicious! The ambience is great & so to was the service! Our waitress was super nice & friendly. I would come back for another drink & some poke nachos!.

Coconut Crusted Shrimp! So good!
Yu W.

What a great find! Came to check this establishment out after hearing that they offered a flaming dole whip drink. Left so happy, full, and can't wait to go back! The staff working here are so friendly and attentive! The tiki decor is so fun and the surrounding somehow provided this welcoming sense of warmth; much appreciated since it was freezing outside. The food is delicious! We got the Tiki Tonkatsu Ramen and Coconut Crusted Shrimp. Loved them both so much! The broth was especially perfect for the weather! Can't wait to try their other menu items another time! The drink, appropriately named C'mon Baby Light My , is large, strong and so fun! Loved the generous portion of dole whip! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Tiki heaven by the lake

My husband and I had a terrific lunch today at Tiki Republic in Lake Arrowhead Village. Don't let the unassuming entrance fool you, inside you will find a magical oasis. The dark and breezy decor makes you feel instantly transported to the islands which was a great escape from the summer heat. The beer and spirits selection is wide and interesting with many fun and tasty tropical drinks. I had the Coconut Sizzle which was delish. My husband opted for a few draft beers which totally hit the spot. For lunch we ordered a burger and some shrimp tacos and both were fresh and delicious. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. We sat at the bar and the service was impeccable. Sam, the host/bartender was very friendly and informative and treated us like regulars. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back!

Canoe over bar

Great time! Stopped in for some Mai Tais and a snack. Drinks were excellent. Highly advise dark rum float. Decor is epic. Authentic pieces. Super rare palm tree canoe hanging above the bar. Only other one is at the Met in NY. Sam is a great guy. Super nice! Welcoming. When you walk in, be prepared for a portal into a fun tiki-time!

Pastrami sandwich
Ms X.

Great spot and excellent service! I got a poke bowl ($23) that was very good. Big portion and hit the spot. It became even better with a side of spicy mayo that added a hint of spice and creaminess that balances it out. My BF got the pastrami sandwich with an apple slaw spread ($19) with macaroni salad and that was delicious as well. The apple adds a lovely sweetness to it that made me to halfsies with the beau.

I came here on a couple days where they had happy hour and it was really fun. The bartenders were really nice. I think their names were christian and Sam. The ambience is very tropical. The first time I went, they were playing Pirates of the Caribbean the second time Gilligans Island. The food was spectacular. Definitely can't beat nine dollar chicken. They have a gorilla photo which is really cute and he can't beat the views of the lake.

It was pretty chilly so we wanted a restaurant that at least had an outdoor heater. Most of the places we walked by didn't have an outdoor heater. We walked by Sunsets Island Bar and Grill. Zach went in to ask if we could eat inside with Coco and they said yes! In my head I was already giving them 5 stars for allowing us inside with Coco. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We didn't even need to ask for a water bowl for Coco since they got brought right away. Here's what we got: - Pupu platter (share) - Huli huli chicken (mine) - Mushroom ravioli (his) - Ube cheesecake (dessert to share) The pupu platter was very good. The fried pieces weren't TOO fried thankfully. They were perfectly crunchy and hot. The huli huli chicken was very tender. The mango bits contrasted well with the chicken and the veggies. The ravioli was really good too and they give you a lot. The ube cheesecake was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and even Zach liked it and he doesn't like to eat dessert ever. Overall, this was probably our best meal during our time here. I would definitely recommend coming here because the staff are friendly, the vibes are great and the food is fantastic.

The Lanai is located in the Cravings food court area at The Station shopping center in Eastvale. There is plenty of parking available. We went inside to the Shuck Oyster bar and entered The Lanai from there. It is actually more of a tiki patio than an enclosed tiki bar. However, the tiki décor is great with plenty of bamboo, carved tiki figures, hanging puffer fish, tiki style signs, and many tropical accents. There are overhead fans spaced around in case it is hot outside. We had one round of drinks and several appetizers. The coconut shrimp and lightly battered Shishito peppers were great and the sauces paired well. We have had these appetizers at Stowaway before and they had the same good quality. She ordered the spicy tofu bites. I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but they were surprisingly really good. I had the Adrian's Mistake cocktail which was well balanced and a little on the strong side. She had the Right Of Passage which was good and had a light fruit flavor and you could definitely taste the mango. The one man show Brandon took great care of us. It was slow at this time of day so we got a chance to chat with him quite a bit and service was fast. They have a weekday happy hour from 4pm to 6pm. Although we didn't specifically order off the happy hour menu, three of our items, including both cocktails were part on it. I give it 4.3 stars but rounded up to five stars. I'm sure the ambience is much better in the evening when it more lively and dark outside. They have a good variety of munchies, and the cocktail menu has a good mix of tiki classics and some originals. I don't think there any many tiki bars in this area, so I hope they do well.

All were good, but we couldn't stop thinking about the excellent drinks and experience we had at Bootlegger. A few weekends ago, we were just about to head to Tiki Oasis in San Diego, but we called an audible and decided to make an impromptu trip back to Palm Springs just to visit Bootlegger again. As luck would have it, the same bartenders from our first visit (John and Dave) were there. Our first experience was not a fluke. Again, we had a series of delicious cocktails -- five in total, and none dipped in quality. Plus, John and Dave were welcoming, fun, and friendly.

The atmosphere hits the perfect balance between cozy, retro, and vibrant.

It is ideal for catching up with friends, starting off a night out, or enjoying a relaxed evening drink. Beyond the fantastic ambiance, the service is top-notch. The staff and bartenders are incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They are always happy to recommend options based on your taste, and the attention to detail in every cocktail really shows. The drinks themselves are expertly crafted, balanced, and beautifully presented--you can tell real thought goes into the menu. Whether you are looking for classic tiki flavors or unique craft creations, everything served is flavorful and high quality. The small bites are equally impressive and pair wonderfully with the drink selection. Having gone twice now, Bootlegger Tiki has officially earned a permanent spot on my go-to list whenever I'm looking for great drinks, wonderful service, and an unforgettable atmosphere. I already cannot wait to go back for round three--highly recommended to anyone looking for a fantastic night out on Palm Canyon Drive!

The bartender on duty tonight (Tuesday, June 9th) appeared disinterested in attending to guests who were not personal acquaintances. Although the restaurant was not busy, he was primarily focused on socializing with off-duty coworkers seated at the bar.Throughout my meal, several basic service standards were missed:Empty dishes remained in front of me for over 10 minutes after I finished eating.We were never offered water or refills for my friend's soda.Despite my intention to order more rounds, the bartender remained preoccupied with his colleagues.When I requested the check, I specifically asked for the dirty dishes to be removed. My request was ignored, eventually forcing me to move the plates to the side myself to create space.I had planned to celebrate a casino win with a generous tip and have previously recommended this venue to others. However, after tonight, I will no longer be doing so. I hope management provides the necessary training to ensure the service staff is as professional and attentive as the culinary team.

We were there on Sunday, October 3rd around 3pm. We asked who the owners were because we were really impressed with the place and thought they might be the same owners as another location we had visited. There was absolutely no bad intention behind the question. The male bartender told us that no one name drops anymore. I understood what he was saying and was more than willing to move on. But then I asked him if the bar offered whiskey sours and he responded, "You really don't know what you're doing here and what you want." I was honestly so taken back by that comment. I don't normally stay quiet when someone speaks to me disrespectfully, but I was so caught off guard that I didn't even know what to say. Before that, he had also yelled out to the host that she didn't need to worry because we didn't know the owners and that she could relax. The whole interaction was completely unnecessary and made us feel very uncomfortable. We came in wanting to enjoy the atmosphere and have a good time. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. There is a way to speak to customers, even if you feel they are asking questions you don't like. We did nothing to deserve that kind of attitude. The Blind Rabbit may be a great place, but unfortunately, the way we were treated by this bartender completely ruined the experience for us. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, ours was extremely disappointing.
