Stefan Kéry opened Tiki Room in Stockholm on January 23, 2002, becoming the first tiki bar in Sweden, at a time when tiki bars didn't tend to open anywhere, much less in the far-flung corners of the globe. The walls are lined with tapa cloth, bamboo, and lauhala mats, and a warm glow is provided by an array of pufferfish lamps and Orchids of Hawaii lights. There are tikis aplenty, including a tiki post standing guard at every booth. The menu has a mix of classic and modern tiki favorites, including bowl drinks served in tiki-flanked volcano bowls.
We went downstairs into this subterranean Tiki bar and instantly appreciated its secret, underground lair vibe more than anything. There was no food menu. The drinks were ok, but weak. The music was electronica and contemporary pop. The bar was understaffed on the eve of the Midsommar holiday. BUT this bears repeating: Tiki Room has put together an impressive decor replete with the carved idols, rattan, and bamboo. We felt like a polyester-clad villain would come strolling around a corner asking us if we liked his volcano digs and would we like to hear his plans for global domination.
Nice interior and good music, nice bartenders, but...the menu never change! I have seen the same menu since many years now and I wonder why? the drinks are ok but could have more potency.
