Inside

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!.

Scorpion Bowl

We stayed the weekend at Lake Arrowhead and was walking around the village. We stumbled upon this Tiki bar and decided to check it out. Food: 5/5 We came here manly for their drinks, but also decided to get their poke nachos. The tuna poke was top tier. The fish was fresh and paired beautifully with their sauces and guacamole. Since it was close to my birthday, the gave me a free pineapple dole whip as well. It tasted just like Disney's pineapple dole whip! Drinks: 4/5 We got the scorpion bowl between five people. The bowl was not very big, but the alcohol was definitely strong like most rum drinks. Next time I'm back I would probably get their other drinks instead of the fish bowl. Service: 5/5 The servers were super sweet and friendly. They were pretty busy, but very transparent and apologetic about it. The food and drink came out really quick. And despite the business, we got seated pretty quick as well. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is a cute tropical escape from the naturey and wilderness of Lake Arrowhead. The interior was well decorated and it was a very laid back vibes inside.

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
Franc B.

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.

Great service & conversation at the bar with our bartender. The drinks were amazing. Cool decor and ambiance.

Went here on a weekday for happy hour, it wasn't busy - maybe 3 people seated at the bar, and then…read moremy party of 4. We ordered food and drinks from the happy hour menu. The food is made in a kitchen separate from the bar/ dining area. The food and drinks were REALLLLY good! The drinks have a kick to it, and as a big fan of tiki bars, the drinks here definitely hit the spot. Although it wasn't busy, there was only guy working and serving. It did take a while for our food and drinks to come out, but for being a one man show, I gotta give him credit for handling everything well!

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.

We sat outside with our dogs but we did check out the inside. It was very small but it was decorated very nicely. There were maybe 3 tables and maybe 8 bar seats. There is clearly attention to detail when decorating. The inside had red lighting, bamboo, and tiki memorabilia. The drink menu was well put together and had a wide variety of tiki cocktails from the standard tiki drinks to unique house made creations. We ordered the painkiller and a virgin painkiller. They were both very delicious and well crafted. We did have a little mishap with our drinks being forgotten. We arrived at 8:35pm, we were greeted promptly and had our order taken with 10 minutes but we didn't receive our drinks until 9:10. We understand mistakes happen but it was unfortunate to have to sit there for 30 minutes without our drinks because we didn't want to be out super late. Overall, the place has delicious cocktails and lovely decor.

A Little Piece of the Tropics in Palm Springs…read more If you're looking for a fun cocktail experience in Palm Springs, Bootlegger Tiki is definitely worth checking out! This is one of those places where the atmosphere is just as much a part of the experience as the drinks. It's tucked away and has that intimate, old school tiki bar personality that makes you feel like you've stepped into a different era. The interior has a cozy, vintage Polynesian inspired aesthetic, with bamboo details, moody lighting, tropical decor, and fun tiki accents. It's not an enormous bar, which actually adds to its charm. The space feels more like a hidden little getaway than your typical neighborhood bar. It's a great setting for a date night or a night out with friends. The Drinks We ordered four different cocktails, and I appreciated the variety rather than having four versions of the same tropical drink. Mai Tai - $18 You can't visit a tiki bar without trying a Mai Tai! This is a classic tiki cocktail traditionally made with rum, fresh lime, orange curaçao, and orgeat (an almond based syrup). It's known for balancing citrus, sweetness, and the deeper flavors of rum. A staple for anyone who enjoys traditional tiki cocktails. Green Tea Bag - $19 One of the more interesting selections on the order. The name definitely caught my attention because it's not something you'd typically associate with a traditional tiki cocktail. Green tea inspired drinks can bring a more delicate, earthy, slightly herbal flavor that contrasts nicely with sweeter tropical cocktails. It's an interesting direction for a craft cocktail. Bourbon Berry Boomerang - $19 For anyone who enjoys bourbon but wants something with a fruity twist, this is an interesting choice. The combination of bourbon and berry inspired flavors offers a different direction from the usual rum heavy tiki drinks. Bourbon brings warmth and depth, while berry flavors can add sweetness and a little tartness. Dealer's Choice: Bourbon - $20 This was probably the most fun concept on the menu because you essentially let the bartender take creative control. We selected bourbon as the base spirit and left the rest to the bartender. It's a great way to experience the creativity behind the bar and try something you might not have picked yourself. I particularly like the idea of having a bartender customize a cocktail around your preferred spirit instead of simply ordering from a list. Atmosphere The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights. Bootlegger Tiki embraces the classic tiki bar aesthetic without feeling like an overly themed tourist attraction. The dim lighting, vintage decor, tropical details, and intimate layout give it a lot of personality. I also appreciate that it feels like an actual cocktail destination rather than just another bar playing loud music and serving basic drinks. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy a couple of cocktails, and have a conversation. Service The cocktail experience is clearly a big part of what this establishment focuses on. Having a Dealer's Choice option is a nice touch because it gives the bartenders an opportunity to showcase their creativity and knowledge of different spirits. The overall experience felt like what you'd expect from a specialty cocktail bar, where the drinks and presentation are the main attraction. It's a nice change of pace from establishments that simply pour a drink and send it out. Final Verdict: 4/5 Overall, Bootlegger Tiki is a fun addition to the Palm Springs nightlife scene. I enjoyed the concept, the intimate atmosphere, and the variety of cocktails available. I especially appreciate that the menu offers more than just the traditional tropical rum drinks, giving bourbon drinkers and people who enjoy experimenting with different flavors something to explore as well. If you're visiting Palm Springs and enjoy craft cocktails, unique drink menus, and a little vintage tiki nostalgia, Bootlegger Tiki is worth adding to your list. I'd happily consider stopping by again for another round!

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. I do not plan on returning. I hope this review does help with customer service the place is AMAZING. I never see this bartender before AMAZING DRINKS poor customer service.

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.
