    Tiki heaven by the lake
    Allison A.

    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!

    Coconut Crusted Shrimp! So good!

    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!

    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 atmosphere, terrific service, absolutely delicious food and drinks!! We come up to arrowhead once a year and we'll definitely be coming back here every time from now on!

    Nice chill place. Big Island salad and the drinks definitely hit the spot. Christian was genuinely friendly and very helpful to us visitors passing thru... Thank you man!!

    I was visiting for the weekend and I was excited by this new restaurant in the square. The food was very lackluster. Service was slow. Drinks were weak. Got the original Mai Tai and it was just ok. We got the Ahi Tartare- this was a weird combo of flavors which just didn't work in my opinion. We got the wings too which was just ok. My husband got the Hulu Huli chicken plate. This was also okay. Portions were large though I got the shrimp tacos which was the best thing on the menu I think. It was pretty filling.

    Come on baby light my fire and zombie drinks

    We had a fantastic lunch at Tiki Republic. It was the perfect spot for a family-friendly meal. The service was excellent and the place is well-themed. It's a great tiki bar and restaurant. Kids had the miso ramen with tofu, and it was delicious. We had the Maui Moon rangoons and pork bowl and both were wonderful. As for drinks, we were all impressed. The "C'mon Baby, Light My Fire" cocktail was a standout and so tasty. We also tried a zombie and a mai tai, both of which were well crafted. Kids loved the Painless mocktails and pineapple dole whip ice cream. We visit a lot of tiki places, and Tiki Republic was fantastic. Can't wait to visit again soon on our next trip to Lake Arrowhead.

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.

From the moment you walk in, the moody lighting, detailed tropical decor, and intimate setting set an incredible vibe that instantly makes you feel like you've escaped to a secret oasis. 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.

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.
