- Guest of a GuestMay 30, 2018The large format drinks are sure to fuel your entire group, but the single-size cocktails are just as fun thanks to custom designed vessels including skulls and Tiki totems. Read more
Amanda RellaJune 2, 2018Perfect for a fun date night. Try the Vaya Kon Tiki! Also great for big groups as they have a selection of large format drinks served in massive clam shells, treasure chests and pirate ships!
Kisha ChandlerSeptember 1, 2018Beautiful handcrafted drinks. A spot of island elegance. Perfect for a birthday spot or classy date. Love this place. Ask Meghan to make your drinks. Super sweet and patient bartender.
Julie SosciaJuly 17, 2018Great for a night out with friends as you will want to try the full menu, there are also many options for sharable cocktails (fishbowl, etc.)
Alexandria McGrathJune 26, 2018It looks like a spot where Jack Sparrow would hang out if he ditched the pirate stuff and got a job in finance. There’s a big wraparound patio outside with views of the Empire State Building
Elvis RodricksJuly 21, 2019Good place for some tike drinks and appetizers. Outdoors are good with heater lamps. Overall a good tiki vibe joint. Come early. Also they have WRAY & NEPHEW's RUM!
Erin WilsonSeptember 10, 2018Modern tiki! Excellent drinks and chic atmosphere. Vegans watch out for the sink with the passion fruit in it. It's tasty but contains dairy and eggs!
Jaclyn RDecember 31, 2018Fun place to go for drinks! Definitely don’t order a vodka soda here. Awesome drinks but definitely pricey!

- Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Situated in The Pod Hotel on 42nd with a Tiki Bar vibe. Try the large format cocktails with friends. The XXX cocktails are super strong.
Jonathan Libov November 16, 2018The piña coladas are really good. It’s off the menu but you can order a very small one to taste to go alone with whatever else you’re ordering.
Alex RobertsonMay 24, 2019hard to give the heart to a place that serves much-too-sweet mai tais for 19 dollars but the vibes inside and outside are great
- Marissa CJune 19, 2018Great rooftop Oasis amidst the chaos of times square. Grab some sparkling Rose and the pupu platter while imagining you're somewhere far far away
Kelsey LJanuary 3, 2019Love coconut? Vaya Kon tiki is your drink. It’s a little spicy but that goes great with the coconut :) 🥥🥥🥥
Matthew BreuerOctober 7, 2018It’s an odd tiki bar. Ambience is a little too upscale, drinks are amazing... but the cocktail list pretty much ignores tiki staples, though some are clearly derived.
RobbyJuly 13, 2018Bathroom situation isn’t great, but it’s an otherwise non-pretentious, non-sceney roof bar in midtown. Try the Commodore Daiquiri!
Gary TorielloMay 26, 2018‘Smokin Sarong’ coconut tea infused Famous Grouse Scotch, cinnamon, chipotle honey, tropical juices
Sunny HAugust 4, 2018The drinks are seem interesting but are mostly too sweet and pretty weak for the price.
Jennifer GiardinaJuly 15, 2018We waited over an hour to get into this place. Expect long lines, rude staff and overpriced drinks hardly any alcohol in them. Use the hotel entrance to skip the long lines.
Andrea ZvinakisJune 12, 2018Drinks are expensive but tasty but I don’t think the snacks are worth the high prices (we spent ~$100pp on 2 drinks and some snacks)
JiyoungAugust 12, 2018Rude bouncer. Told us we had to get a table even through the place was dead. Also told us the whole party had to be present to let anyone up.

"Love the smell of this place! Cookies were too brownie kinda cookies. Share with someone they are huge. Overall good but not my favorite kind. What I really love here is their cold brew. It's a must!"
