Humuhumu’s description:
Modern tiki bar in Scottsdale that opened in 2002 to mediocre reviews of its food, drinks and vibe. At opening, drinks were served in tiki mugs from Munktiki. Drift has a thatched A-frame entrance, but the interior is more sleek.

interior does not match exterior, thats not to say it is bad though. outside has all the makings of a great tiki beach hut with the thatched a frame and plenty of drift wood. inside is still very nice but a little more organized but none the less very cool still. unfortunaley they will not have any mugs for a while due to the fact that munktiki is either shutting down or just not shipping mugs to them anymore. i didnt have any food but the price was moderate to way overpriced like the $22 fish sandwich. the drinks are pretty good and priced accordingly. the bartender actually took a lot of pride in mixing them and serving them up tall and strong. the evil bastard, at $14 is the most expensive drink but well worth the price. have 2 of them and you'll know why they are called that! i got it in a mug that is about 10inches tall served up with plenty of fruit garnish an umbrella and even a flaming sugar cube sitting atop a little orange raft. the only down side is no navy grog but when i asked for it i got a positive response from the bar tender and the owner on how to make it and where to get it. i really enjoyed this place and all the patrons there when i was there were all very pleasant and nice to talk to. i would reccomend going from 4pm to 7pm as some drinks are 2-4-1 and they have free food. they said they have plans to rip out the parking lot put in a pool with a giant waterfall. i come to phoenix/ scottsdale once a year and already look forward to my next visit!
on a side note, good luck figuring out which is the mens and which is the girls bathroom after a couple drinks!
