Pirates of Caribbean music greets you as you enter into darkness... from the strip mall. One of my friends commented - what in the actual hell is going on - as we pulled up. Once inside, the magic created a great evening for the group. Drinks are ok. Mai Tai is pretty sweet. Navy Grog prob best offering. Of course, get the fire. You can have anything lit on fire. Pineapples on fire were a hit with my group. We sat in the back room on the couches, and just chilled. The bathroom needs to be seen as well. Make sure you're ready for the talking pirate.

The front half of the bar looked very tiki (yes, its Las Vegas, so there are slots at the bar). The back half is pirate-themed. So, if you're going for tiki ask to stay in the front. Good service, good drink selection.

Golden Tiki is one of the best decorated tiki bars I've seen, but the drinks are not that tiki at all. Their Blue Hawaiian was basically just an AMF. I would suggest going there because of the eye candy, but you will not be staying long for the drinks.

Cool to look at but falls short on every other front. Drinks are juice with a splash of rum and lacking in that punch all around. Service leaves much to be desired as well. Just can’t say I’m in love. Keep giving it a shot when doing tiki tours of Vegas with visitors but am continually underwhelmed.

Believe the hype: Golden Tiki is top notch tiki. The decor is great, the service is friendly and fun, and the drinks can hold there own against any other tiki bar. The food was good (we had the orange chicken), and it’s also in Chinatown so there are tons of good restaurants nearby. They have a nice selection of swag that includes t-shirts, a good selection of munktiki un-branded mugs, and a couple excellent branded mugs. They also sell their menus for $5 so you don’t need to awkwardly swipe one if you’re a menu junkie. Highly recommend; they’re doing good things here.

Loved this place!

My husband and I are huge tiki bar fans so we had to check this place out while in town. This was one of my favorite tiki bars I've been to. The atmosphere is fun, colorful and has a cool pirate theme.

The happy hour is fantastic and the drinks are delicious. My favorite was the 'pain killer' with the dole whip. The mai tai was amazing too!

The staff is very friendly and attentive. We were in Las Vegas for 5 days and visited this place everyday after we discovered it. We loved it so much! Highly recommend!

This place has a LOT going on for itself. The decor alone is movie studio perfection. There is so much detail in every square inch of this place. It really is an amazing bar.

I need to get back and re-experience the place. On my only visit, we were driven out--not by lousy drinks or bad service, but by very L-O-U-D live music.

You can read more about my experience there in my blog. The section was hastily written and not my best. But if you want a closer look at this place, be my guest. The link is here:

We had gone to Frankie’s first and had been warned by other patrons that the golden tiki was more “Disney “. We love Disney and trader sams so we were excited to try it! Although we liked the decor and not Smokey like Frankie’s the drinks were underwhelming and a bit weak. They do have Dole whip, so if that’s your thing definitely check it out! If you are looking for stronger, better drinks head to Frankie’s.

We had a fantastic first visit here last month! It was a Monday night and the place was hopping-- great surf rock band playing and a Tiki Oasis after-party going on. Drinks were really good and the eats were quite satisfying. Karissa, our server, was very friendly and attentive. Got a The Golden Tiki mug too. The place is well decorated and captures the old Vegas vibe, only tikified. Great addition to the Chinatown Plaza. The Golden Tiki is now on my Sin City essential stops list.

This is, hands down, the most atmospheric tiki bar I've ever visited. Sure, if you're being technical, it has more of a Caribbean or pirate/jungle explorer vibe going than pure tiki, but it's very cool! The drink menu, though somewhat limited, is fine and the drinks are great. I can't recommend this place highly enough. It's definitely worth a visit if you are up for leaving the Las Vegas strip and I much prefer the vibe here to that at Frankie's (which can also be fun, but feels more like a dive bar than Golden Tiki does).

Very cool tiki bar with a more modern take that is certainly more pirate in nature. Drinks were good and I’d like to go back. But... we had a server who was condescending and rude. Every interaction left me feeling sour. If I return, and happen to get her, I’d tell them I want a different server. Impacted my enjoyment.

I was there last night (Wed 4/11) and this place is like Epcot Tiki. A lot of $ went into the look, and it reminded me of the old Jekyll and Hyde restaurants in NYC, or the Rainforest Cafe. The drinks and food were great, but the music was a DJ rocking 80's mixes- NOT tiki bar music. It was packed to the gills in folks having a great time, so they are making money (hopefully), and if their calculus to make money means sacrificing the tiki vibe to attract a non-tiki crowd, I guess that's the choice they are making. It's still gorgeous, and the mugs to take home are cool, so I still think it's worth going to the place. But, it does feel a bit sterile, even when packed with people.

Lame. Strictly for square tourists. The sushi and karaoke bars in the same strip mall are more exciting. All mainstream rum you can get anywhere mixed in slushy machines. Other than some of the staff, you will be the only one wearing an Aloha shirt. Which will really make you want to rock out to that deafening and sped up EDM remix of 'Move on Up' by Curtis Mayfield.

Another pointless tiki bar.

I could've spent more time there, but I sold out and returned to my little Italian-themed casino where I was served Samaroli Demerara by a tanned lithe girl, with sun-kissed hair, in a weird modern jock-chick sarong thingy under the palm trees and poolside with all the girls sunbathing. But there won't be any dusty fake shrunken heads to look at. Sacrifices.

I had to reevaluate my score. When they first opened, the drinks were full of ice and service was bad. Now, I'm in love with this place. Crystal, the magician that goes table to table is a real treat. All the bad staff seem to be gone and the drinks feature less ice. I'm glad I gave it another chance.

The curb appeal of Golden Tiki was promising with some great masks, very cool rustic dark wood double doors complete with portholes and marquesian handles, and Asian style signage that tipped Its hat to its Chinatown location. The inside ambiance is dark and cozy but a bit busy with its eclectic decor. Lots of pirate things and the music was all over the place. Bartenders very friendly and engaging but the drinks were a disappointment ... way to sweet and syrupy.

Love that the first thing you hear walking up is the AWOL Airwaves broadcast from the Jungle Cruise queue. That sets the tone because it totally feels like a third Trader Sam's location. Tiki Diablo did one hell of a job with this design. There's so many oddities on display and pop culture hints like the life-size Fijian Mermaid, the Sankara Stones from Temple of Doom, a knife once belonging to Hunter S Thompson...I could go on. The mix of Adventurers Club, with Ripley's oddities and a bit of Pirates booty make for a fantastic mix of themes. Some people judge a tiki bar by their Mai Tais, we tend to do it with a Painkiller, and we chose wisely as it was one of many of their drinks which were mixed with their Dole Whip, along with the Mango Batida which we finished out on after a 3 Dots.

Great decorations, wall hangings and animatronics. Emphasis here is really on the look. The drinks are average, and over the years it seems the rum and cocktail selections have dropped, in favor of more common drinks. A good "starter" tiki bar to take a friend to, but if you prefer a good drink, head to Frankies.

I visited The Golden Tiki on a recent trip to Las Vegas and it was hands down the best tiki experience I have had. The decor and atmosphere were unbelievable--packed with kitsch and oddities that really immersed you in the experience. I could watch their seeming endless looping reel of retro trailers and clips until my eyes fell out. The drink selection was stellar. I was able to work my way through most of the menu and the Painkiller was my favorite. Luis was our bartender for all three visits and he was not only attentive to our drink needs but also extremely friendly and gave us a lot of good pointers for the city and other bars. I was kind of worried about what the atmosphere and crowd would be like, having seen their Facebook page, but we went early enough in the day that we only shared the bar with four other people at most, so it was a really laid back and relaxing experience. The Golden Tiki is a must visit for any tiki enthusiast making the trip to Sin City.

If your going to be in Las Veags and you love Tiki, you need to hit Frankie's Tiki Room AND The Golden Tiki! Both bars are awesome in their own way.

The Golden Tiki is like Disney's Trader Sam's but if was built in Sin City. I you will have a good time.

It's like a tiki Disney land and even has a talking skeleton! The menu even includes a thorough "origin" history of the place. Rotating tiki mugs but only one signature anniversary so far. The decor is awesome. The vibe is awesome with rotating artists dropping in. The drinks? A work in progress, many of them taste similar and are very strong.

just went to The Golden Tiki again tonight. Place was packed. Met the owner Brad. He was a great guy, bought us a round of the best Mai Tais we've ever had. He was celebrating an award they just got from a local magazine. I originally gave this place a 9 but its customer service and unique atmosphere make this one of the most amazing tiki bars we've ever been to. It simply cant be beat! Come see for yourself

In town for BHOF with the Mrs. All I can say is holy cowabonga. I wish I could pitch a hut and live here forever. This is a tiki lovers paradise. Their drinks are all on point. I love Tiki Ti for drinks (atmosphere blows) and these drinks are just as good, and that is really hard for me to admit. The interior is fun, whimsical and fantastical. So much detail, its beyond Trader Sams even. Yep, I said that too. I am so impressed. We love it! Luckily we live kind of close in Cali so we will be making the road trip back here often. Thank you Golden Tiki

Hands down THE BEST Tiki Bar I've ever been to. The decor by Tiki Disblo is mind blowing. The menu design by Doug Horne is top notch . I read people complaining about drinks and service. I'm here to tell you the drinks were insanely good. Some of the best I've had anywhere and I've had them from Cate to Barry. These are just as good if not better. They were packed when I went last night . They had a burlesque show but the service was great. Of course it's a tiki bar. Drinks take longer to prepare , but we didn't wait that long at all. You have to check out their Hall of Curiosity near the bathrooms. It's amazing! Also , make sure to check the portholes in the pirate room and the Monkey Paws in the hallway for hidden treats . I can go on and on. This place is that good!

We love the Golden Tiki! Went last week for Marky Ramone of the Ramones. He was the guest DJ. It was awesome! The owner was celebrating his birthday and the fact they were just named Best Tiki Bar in America by the Food Network. They are definitely one of the best I've seen for sure. We sampled the whole menu all of the drinks except two were phenomenal. We went to Frankie's and it was ok. Small and smelled like smoke. Golden Tiki doesn't smell like smoke . We liked that a lot . Both places are worth checking out though . The crowd at Golden Tiki was better and the staff friendlier for sure. Can't wait to go back.

We usually go to Frankie's but I have been hearing so much about the Golden Tiki that we had to give it a shot. What a difference between the two, WOW! Frankie's is a hole in the wall , dive bar that reaks of smoke. The Golden Tiki is like an undiscovered jungle temple. It's incredible, breath taking and beyond words. The owner has gone above and beyond, every inch of the place tells a story. The staff was friend and the drinks were some of the best I ever had. We went on a Friday night and there had to be over 1000 people in and out throughout the night. We went to Frankie's after and it was crickets. Golden Tiki is clearly the locals choice. You need to see this for yourself next time you're in Vegas.

Came to Vegas this weekend because my good friend Senor Amor was Djing and the Golden Tiki and I've been looking for an excuse to come check this place out. If I had to describe it in one word it would be AMAZING! I was blown away that something this cool could be in Vegas. This blows anything in LA away. I met the owner Brad as he was putting up Monkey Paws in his Sideshow Hallway. What a great guy. Gave me and my friends the tour. So glad we did the tour as this place has so many wonderful secrets. The drinks were awesome . There was about 400 people inside . A little crowded but the bartenders did their best to keep up. We also saw a burlesque performance by Roxie Delight and a sideshow strong man called The Baron who lifted 75lbs using his nipples them eyelids. All of this show and no admission charge. Now that's a deal. We all loved this place so much I wish I could give it 15's. We didn't make it to Frankies maybe next trip . I'll rate them then. Thank you Golden Tiki for being so awesome

Aloha! Just flew back from New Years in Las Vegas and boy are my arms tired. I am happy to have found this page when googling the Golden Tiki. I can't tell you how impressed I was with this place. So impressed I'm literally writing this and it's almost three in the morning here. My friends and I had such a great time there. The place is the best designed tiki bar I've ever seen. I can't imagine anything better. The drinks were delicious . Between me and my friends we tried them all and they were all top Knotch! My personal favorite was the Hemingway's Ruin. It was the ruin of me all right . I'm still spinning ha ha! I didn't get a chance to check out Frankies but every local I asked said the Golden Tiki was the place to be. We loved it so much we went Friday , Saturday and Sunday and its was very busy. Great crowd all kinds of people , just like a tiki bar should be. We took a cab , parking was the only thing that could possibly be an issue as the lot was full they were so busy. Overall great time . Now that I found this site I'll post more reviews! Mahalo

My husband and I came to Vegas for New Years . We are from OC and came to see The Toledo Show at Golden Tiki on NYE. Words can't describe how blown away we were from the whole experience . I wish I lived in Vegas , we would be there several times a week. What a cool bar. Big , spacious , Disney level detail . The staff was great. Mike was our main bartender. My hubby kept on bragging about the Mai Tai saying it was the best he's ever had. I had the Banana Batida and Painkiller. So delicious! So amazingly good. We had so much fun NYE we came back Friday and Saturday. This is our spot. Only complaint is their mug selection was limited . Asia our server said it was because they have sold out of everything that Tiki Farm has. Which is true as this place is clearly the place to be . They were packed! The secret we discovered is to go early and grab a table. Oh! THEY HAVE DOLEWHIP! We love this place and are already planning a return trip for Viva. Thank you tiki gods :)

This is my new favorite bar in Las Vegas and a proper Tiki room. The drinks are well made by bartenders who know their craft, but most impressive is the clear passion for Tiki throughout. The staff is friendly, it's way less smoky than some Tiki bars and the decor is classic and is faithful to the theme and legend they invented. It's an interesting mix of Disney and naughty Vegas and it works.

Tiki Pug has obviously never been to The Golden Tiki. I have been many times and have sat and watched them squeeze limes for their lime juice every day at 5pm for during their Happy Hour when I am there eating and drinking. I work nearby. I couldn't just sit here and watch The Golden Tiki get attacked. It seems the crew from Frankies continues to make up false reviews. If you can't beat The Golden Tiki on atmosphere then lie about how bad their drinks are. Everyone in town knows their games. It's getting old. Truth be known their drinks are great. Ive drank all over from Tiki Ti (which is the best drinks anywhere) to Smugglers (awesome too) and Golden Tiki's are great. Some of their drinks have 10 to 13 layers of flavor. Some are a little unique for my taste buds but I have talked with the owner and he's in the process of updating the drink menu. They are new only a few months old. Their mixologist who designed their menu just was nominated for bartender of the year. To keep attacking them on their drinks makes you a liar and a hater. Anyone on here saying that is flat out lying. You can go to other sites like their FB page and see 100's of 5 star reviews of people who love their drinks. So really weird everyone here hates them ha ha give me a break. I had one questionable drink in at least 30 visits, but the place was packed with 300 people and the bartenders were swamped. You can't even get that many people into any of the places you mentioned. What would happen if 300 people went to Frankies? Or Tiki Ti?? Quality would suck I am sure. When you are that popular, and serving that many people ,and are new mistakes are going to happen. Overall they are great drinks, made by a great staff and an owner who truly cares. This place deserves all 10's in my book.

The above reviewers have obviously never been to a tiki bar. Top 5 tiki bar in the world? Are you shitting me. Obviously that reviewer has never been to ANY OF THE TOP 10 TIKI BARS according to Critiki. These drinks are horrible. Their main ingredient is Rose's Lime Juice. Any bar that puts Rose's in a mai tai instead of actual freshly squeezed lime juice should be ashamed of themselves. It looks great inside. But looks only last so long. Once you taste a drink, you'll be done. Anyone who says these drinks are good have never been to Tonga Hut, or Smuggler's Cove , or Tiki Ti, or The Mai Kai - the list goes on, and on , and on, and on.

Just left there and all I can say is wowza! My new favorite tiki bar ever. I'm literally speechless and my hubby will be the first to tell you how rare that is. Luckily my husband and I are staying in vegas til monday so we can come back here every night til then. We tried Franks and the smoke killed us. It's cool but tiny and bartenders were rude . We read online that the drinks at franks were better. This is so far from the truth . They were nasty at best compared to golden tiki. We loved everything about golden tiki. How can you not? It's so well put together. No wonder it's busy. The only thing that kind of turned me off was the video machines but this is vegas and franks has them too. If you haven't been you need to go immediately it's worth a ticket to see the wonderful island of the golden tiki! Oh the bartender gave us a card for a free lyft ride which was a nice touch .

Heard "Too Darn Hot" by Ella Fitzgerald on the speakers outside, entered to hear "A Pirate's Life for Me" inside, and knew I was home.

The Golden Tiki just opened this past summer, and I can already tell they're doing it right. From Hunter S. Thompson's (real) knife stabbed into the wall, to the Enchanted Tiki Room drummers incorporated into the decor, to the genuine Dole Whip on order, to the young couple I met who offered me a cigar.

Highly, highly recommended for Tiki ohana visiting Vegas.

You must go go to golden tiki. Check out the animatronic pirate in the back room. The talking tiki god above the bar. Shrunken heads everywhere. So cool. Love love love this place. My favorite bar by farrrrrrr

Why this isn't on the list for best Tiki Bars for 2015 is beyond me. This is easily one of the top 5 in the world. This is a MUST SEE when you come to Vegas. The attention to detail is better than Disney good. It's downright amaze balls!
