I had a glass of the rosé, which was nice and cool and light. A little pricey but it is the 1Hotel. The vibe is relaxed and chill - most of the seating is on couches or stuffed chairs and is comfortable. A lot of white with wood accents. The restaurant/bar is right up against the hotel lobby check-in desk, but the space is big and you don't have to sit right next to it if you don't want to. The hotel has valet parking and the restaurant does validate a couple of dollars off but it's still pricey. There's a parking lot across the street that is cheap and probably where you should park or drive around in the neighborhood and see what you can find.

We had reservations for a Sunday night and were seated at the best table in the house. This speakeasy cocktail lounge is small & dimly lit, which creates a cozy & intimate atmosphere. The Polynesian inspired décor is on point. Bamboo beaded curtains, thatched lamps, tropical prints, & an eight-foot tiki statue add to the charm. Our server Sean was fantastic with a capital F! He entertained us the entire evening. Of course, Tiki cocktails served in kitschy glassware are the main attraction but they also offer Island inspired dishes if you are hungry. (You can also order food from Tail O' The Pup downstairs.) The building was once the recording studio for The Doors, so we had to order The Ghost of Jim Morrison. Sean delivered the flaming drink while singing a Doors tune. Elvis in Hawaii arrived on a platter with an Elvis head on it. Lucky Tiki Old Fashioned was presented in a treasure chest with smoke coming out of it. The Flying Fish came in a cool Blowfish vessel. The Lucky Mai Tai was one of the best, the Classic Daiquiri was nicely balanced, and the Rum Barrel packed a punch. All the drinks were tasty and strong so we ordered a few nibbles: Coconut Shrimp, Lucky Orange Chicken, & Wok-Fried Chow Mein. The food was yummy and hit the spot. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the presentation of the drinks and ambience. Thank you Sean for making our visit to Lucky Tiki a 5-star experience. *Metered street parking.

Once you do, there's a little puzzle to solve to actually get inside. Not going to spoil it as it is pretty easy to figure out. Once inside, the vibe changes to full tiki and the experience begins. The drinks are strong, but also flavorful as they tend to come with tropical flavors to pair with the different rums and other spirits. We tried a plethora of cocktails offer the night amongst six of us. I'd say a good half of them tasted watered down, as if the ice was melting too fast. And they are usually over filled with ice, for presentation. You can also order food at the table, which comes from the hot dog restaurant below the tiki bar, so that's a nice touch to add a little sustenance to your drinking. Drinks come out as ordered, but the bar is usually full so they can take a while to get to the table. Just an FYI. Lucky Tiki is a fun bar with creative cocktails and little shows with some of the drinks, but too many tasted watered down (again, a lot of ice in the drinks). But the vibe is fun and it's a nice spot to come to with a group of friends.

It's the kind of place where you can take your time exploring different pours rather than rushing through drinks. The selection is impressive, ranging from familiar labels to smaller distilleries you don't see everywhere. The bartender was clearly passionate about the craft and offered a couple of suggestions based on what I usually enjoy. I tried a whiskey I hadn't heard of before, and it turned out to be a great recommendation with a smooth, layered flavor. What I liked most was the atmosphere. It felt social without being overwhelming, making it easy to have a conversation or simply sit back and enjoy the drink. The crowd seemed like a mix of locals and people who genuinely appreciate good spirits. The Phoenix stands out as a spot where whiskey takes center stage, but the environment remains welcoming and unpretentious. It's a great choice if you're looking to unwind with a thoughtfully poured glass in Beverly Grove.

Super pretty at night with all of their string lights up. Grilled Chicken Dijon - Off the happy hour menu. Comes with a generous portion of fries and pieces of chicken smothered in a dijon sauce. The chicken was so juicy and the sauce wasn't too overpowering. I'm usually not a dijon girl but this was done correctly. Buffalo Cauliflower - Off the happy hour menu. Generous portions. Super flavorful. A little cold. Salmon Crudo - Off the happy hour menu. Perfectly acidic with the avocado there to pair some of it down. Fish was fresh. Lychee martini - Delicious! Not too sweet. Loved how big the happy hour menu was and how long it went. The outdoor area was super cute at night, although I wish we got to experience the interior of the restaurant. Only saw it after heading in to use the restroom and it looked really modern chic in there. My one knock on this place was the service. Our server attended us to take our order and then never came back and we were there for nearly 3 hours. We had to wave him down several times to get his attention. He even made a comment on how he hasn't been to our table at all but didn't seem apologetic. It wasn't really busy on a Sunday night but maybe they were short staffed. I'm not sure but I'll give them the beneift of the doubt. I still would like to come back since their happy hour duration and food quality was good. Hoping the service will be better.

Perfect for cocktail hour, but they also serve the full menu from castaway here so you could even order dinner if you wanted. Really beautiful presentation for the cocktails, reminds me of Barton G before it closed. They have a buzz button cocktail which was super tasty! Service was extreme friendly,and accommodating. Everyone was making sure we were satisfied throughout out time there. I will for sure be back, and if you're looking for a cute date night spot this it! I will be back to try more of the tapas!

I had a spot at the bar, which still has great views, until a table opened up. I had a Paloma, which was the perfect balance of citrus and sweet. I had dinner earlier, so I ordered a fruit plate for a sweet treat. It was really good, tajin and chamoy were on the side to dip in. I also ordered an El Camino Old Fashioned. This was a fantastic cocktail! This hit every mark I wanted in an Old Fashioned. Mezcal, Tequila, Bourbon, there is no better drink, in my opinion. I quite enjoyed the quiet evening overlooking the city and having an upscale LA moment.

The live DJ on industry Sunday night set the vibe as you grab an espresso martini or beer as an intimate group also enjoys small bites and cocktails around you. It's definitely dim lights, enjoyable location. I would however stay away from anything other than a snack from this location. We grabbed the steak and fries, unfortunately, the title of Wagyu is lacking. The steak itself is very tough, and the gravy that was on top was not particularly enjoyable. I did enjoy the fries though so I will say a nice crispy fry with a little bit of greenery on top was decent. Along with the Wagyu lacking, the steak tartar was also not a good idea. Maybe it was just an off night to have steak at this location, but I would definitely be weary of ordering. Even though the food was lacking it in a major way. The staff was not, the cocktails were wonderful, and every single person can work. There was over the talk, friendly and nice.

Vibes and layout was MC all the way. The pre purchase ticket came with the option of only two drinks which I wish the whole cocktail menu was available. Otherwise the cocktails were okay, nothing amazing and definitely not worth the price. There was also limited seating-- I wish they provided more seating options to the tickets sold. The karaoke booth was also a great idea but the music in the head phones was different than what was playing in the actual booth so made it confusing. Also the $9.99 price for two songs was definitely a money grab and didn't understand the booth so we lost out on one song. Overall, fun idea but could have been better.
