    Pretty fun and interesting bar/restaurant! A friend and I came here cause we were staying at a nearby hotel. The food was just ok from what I remember, but also for a bar it wasn't bad! It was pretty empty when we went which we were disappointed about but maybe it was an off day.

    Finding a tiki bar on the Freedom Trail could've changed American history forever had it existed back in 1776. If Paul Revere stopped by for a Pina Colada, the colonists could've lost the war, and we'd be singing the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen" as our national anthem today. Jamie W. found it on the Yelp app when we started to drift after walking through Quincy Market. I guess we were early because no one else was in the bar at 2:30 in the afternoon. Perhaps Bostonians delay their tiki cocktail consumption to the evening after they have their chowdah and fill their muskets. It was a pretty evocative place, but the chilly weather outside prevented us from daydreaming about being at the Hula Bar on Waikiki. We were also a bit surprised that the signature cocktail selection was limited. Jamie was in the mood for the $15 Mai Tai because it was Thomas Jefferson's favorite tiki cocktail selection. OK, I made that up, but it seems reasonable, doesn't it? It's made with Planteray Rum 3 Stars Rum, Worthy Park 109 Dark Rum, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao, lime juice, and orgeat syrup. The specialty rums made this a revolutionary concoction. Following Patrick Henry's lead ("Give me liberty or give me death!"), I went with the $16 Painkiller. It consisted of Plantation Original Dark Rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut, a tropically tantalizing classic executed well enough to let Patrick forego liberty for another round (photo: https://yelp.to/o1Dox13tQl). Beyond that, twangy ukulele music might've helped along with a fife and drum. But it was back to the Freedom Trail for us because we have come appreciate living in the land of the free and the home of the tiki idol. COCKTAILS - 4 stars...tiki libations even the colonists love AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the tropical decor seemed right SERVICE - 4 stars...she blended the drinks well TOTAL - 4 stars...Boston tiki, try it RELATED - Exploring Boston?

    Single taco

    Here on a Boston visit and eating at a Tiki bar. Place was not busy at all. Ordered a Mai Tai and a French Part Punch. Drinks were great. Mai Tai was balanced and strong. Same with the FPP. Had coconut shrimp and is was a good start with the Mango salsa. We split the fish Tacos. Again very good. Service was good. Come try them out as we enjoyed the service.

    $1 oysters
    My-Linh D.

    The happy hour menu is amazing! I went on a Wednesday and had $1 oysters and $1 wings! You cannot really beat that. I went around 5pm and it was pretty empty but it got more crowded after a few hours. The waiter was very attentive and always making sure we have everything we need. The drinks were amazing! I didn't taste the alcohol but I felt it afterwards.

    What an adorable tiki bar! We were walking by on a Monday night and noticed the $1 ouster sign outside, we figured this was going to be a really good night or a really bad night. Luckily, it was a great night! We order two dozen oysters which were phenomenal! I wish I had another stomach so I could have had more. We also orders the fish tacos. I didn't love the tortillas, and the sauce was okay, but the fish was light and well cooked, not sure if I'd order them again, I probably should have just ordered another dozen oysters! My husband and I shared a pineapple drink for two. I loved it, but it was a little too sweet for him. So Norte for me! It was yummy! I was surprised this place was so empty, it's a shame. The tiki decor is kitschy and cute, the bartender/waitress was great, and the food and drink were awesome! It's a hidden gem. I would love to visit when we're in Boston again!

    lobster Roll
    Winni Z.

    Food was mid. The lobster roll was okay. The empanada was juicy but flavorless, pot stickers were mushy, crab rangoon had too much cream cheese. The tres leches cake was yummy, but the nutella cake was sour. Servers were nice, but not the best at clearing plates off our table. Vibes were immaculate, a great place to catch up with a group of friends.

    Cocktail that is mostly ice with some artificial flavoring. $14 for that nonsense
    Sara E.

    Overpriced, less than mediocre cocktails and average food with slow service. Pretty much what you'd expect for a touristy spot. Kind of grimy vibe. Edit: in response to the business owner review: 1. No, we did not try to find a manager to complain to about our waiter, who we could barely find. Maybe make your staff more available. 2. Your cocktails are disgusting, I was being nice, to begin with. No one should drink this, and certainly not overpay for all the ice. 3. Your place is grimy. Deny all you like, that's just what it is and looks like. TLDR: Don't come here.

    We were staying at the Hyatt Centric hotel nearby and decided to eat lunch at this restaurant because it was only a five minute walk from our hotel. The service was a little slow, but the food looked and tasted good. Our party of six had the chicken rice bowl, the shrimp rice bowl, the Caesar salad with grilled chicken, the wedge salad with sirloin tips, the chopped salad with grilled shrimp and a cheeseburger. The portion sizes were on the larger side. Prices were around 20 dollars on average.

    Came here for a birthday celebration. The food was alright but the drinks were great! Go for the drinks!! They feature a fun selection of cocktails. Service was good, the chefs and bartenders were friendly. Music and ambience were good and they turn down the lights at around 9pm. Food: 7/10 Drinks: 10/10 Service: 7/10 Experience: 7/10 Value: 7.5/10

    Honestly tiki rock is such a fun place! They have good music and fun vibes! I ordered a pina colada and the bartender who made it for me was super sweet even though there was such a long line of people wait for their drinks! The pina colada was one of the best ones I've tried around the area! My only qualm was that it was a little sweeter than I would have preferred (and I love my drinks sweet!) but besides that, absolutely delish!

    Stop in here last night and had a delicious appetizer and poke bowl for dinner served with a delicious dirty vodka martini. For the app we ordered the goat cheese spinach and artichoke dip. For dinner I did the raw salmon poke bowl. Atmosphere was nice and the staff was very kind. Would be happy to go back

    Crab Rangoons
    Stephanie S.

    Decent tiki bar in Boston, probably one of the only ones. The tiki drinks were tasty and tropical and we shared the crab rangoons.

    Crispy Calamari,  Cioppino
    Evangeline L.

    Got the Crispy Calamari and Cioppino, which were mediocre. We didn't try any of the drinks though, and in reflection, I wish we had since this is what they're known for. Food was just okay though.

    Yeah they have vegetable dumplings

    Do you have any gluten free options? We'd love to make a reso but I have an allergy

    There are gluten free options, while like most kitchens, there is a chance for cross contamination, they try their best to accommodate any allergy.
