Aloha- Thanks All for the feedback.
Especially regarding the music. Rap Music Russian or otherwise should not be the case.
Some brief points-
We are small and sometimes the crowd is frat boy or British larger lout tour- though this is not our vision so we try not to make that last too long or encourage it- but it can happen and there is not much we can do. Surely, It is not the normal or standard vibe. When we are empty we fill up with whoever comes- Hawaiian shirt and Tiki fan or not.
There is a fuss because we are very nice and affordable Tiki bar with friendly staff by any European standard.. It would be nice to have access to all the Tiki supplies available in the US at US prices while keeping our prices low- but it is not easy- we struggle with this all time and are open to trading drinks for decorations/mugs/cool ingredients to any true Tiki aficionado travelling through.
We cost more than a typical beer and shots joints- but our prices are very competitive with any other cocktail bar in the Zizkov area (Prague 3)
We use the finest quality ingredients, but it can happen that a drink is not what you expected. We believe our staff is attentive to this -more so than the average Czech place and will always try and accommodate you if you let them know something is not right.
It would be nice to have proper feedback on drinks rather than vague generalities..E.g. The Bloody Mary was too… I did not like Zombie because it was…, etc. That way we can know what can be better.
Thanks for vesting, Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback, we are working always to improve things, and we look forward to you visiting us again soon.
The place is too popular for its size, hard to find a seat and therefor barstaff is selecting the spot for you to house maximum number of guests.
Barmen are fairly friendly and talkative (even though it's hard to hear over bar table, so not much conversation possible).
Drinks are not good, not bad, I'm not sure about their authenticity, I guess (in my own personal unprofessional opinion) cocktails may be little bit simplified to lower the cost and because needed ingredients are not as available in area as in USA.
The music ain't much tiki, sometimes some hawaiian melodies, but sometimes even something like russian rap due to selection of clients.
Decor is fine, not for my taste, but still tikish.
Overall the place is not bad, but not much comfortable for me. They have long way to go, but at least they are on right direction.
Visited last summer (July 2017). Tiki Taky is a tiny, lively expat bar in the Zizkov neighborhood of Prague. Practically everyone there was a young english speaker, and despite the amazing decor, proper tiki mugs, etc. the crowd had more of a backpacking through Europe, frat boy vibe. Drinks were pretty good. More expensive than a typical cocktail in Prague, but reasonable by American standards. It's such a unique spot that it is definitely worth a visit for a tiki enthusiast in Prague.

This place has a MASSIVE drink menu, probably close to 40 drinks. Unfortunately, there are really only about 6 real tiki drinks among them. The rest would fall somewhere between tropical, yacht, and middle-aged mom having a girls night in Indiana. Think Sex On the Beach etc.
The tiki drinks we ordered ranged between decent to good (not great).
That said, the decor here was done really well for a small space and it had a nice, intimate vibe with a very, very friendly and attentive staff. All drinks are served in mugs, albeit your generic internet versions.
Overall, definitely worth a visit for a Mai Tai at least! We're glad to took the trip!
I've lived through at least two Tiki revivals now. Hell, when I worked in Burlington, Vermont, I tried to get my editors to let me move my desk to the one that opened in a basement space just a block or two away. I think they saw the thatch on the wall, though, and realized I'd never get anything done ever again much less by the five p.m. deadline. Urban tiki revivals can be the toughest to judge. I wanted to love Aku Aku in Oslo but it's tiki butt couldn't cash the tiki check it's decor had written. On the flip side, Otto's in NYC has minimal curb appeal but once you're inside and ensconced in a booth and have a Ruby jewels or two in you, the fact that the DJ is running through your New Wave favs instead of Don Ho is of no consequence. Tiki Taky gets the balance pretty much perfect. The decor is outstanding for a country with little to no seafaring roots. The music, while not tropical, was appropriate to the mood and time period. Then again, I'm a sucker for Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" under any circumstances. I was a little worried when I saw fellow patrons sit down and order beer first. Then again, it's Prague where people wash down breakfast pastries with beer. Their second and third rounds were from the tiki menu. Based on my other interactions at restaurants, the waitress was downright perky and happy to keep bringing drinks. Now, some tiki essentials are hard to source in Europe, I get it. Maraschino cherries are smaller, some of the coconut flavoring is a little off. But Tiki Taky not only had the plot, it had the finale and the sequel. Plus it's in a fairly working class neighborhood and away from the straight up tourist crap other parts of the city suffer from. I know it's gauche and I know I'm twenty years too late, but I'd move to Prague and deal with the surly subway workers and chintzy "old cars" rattling people around the old town square just to call Tiki Taky my home bar.
We were there a few years ago. Drinks were good but the staff was great. We were taking our picture while holding up a copy of Tiki Magazine. They got really excited, had never seen it before. They gave us a drink and we left the them the magazine.
The last place one would expect a great tiki bar but here it is! Take a detour from Prague's touristy center and hang with some locals !
Fabulous and friendly service with original and traditional chilled polynesian cocktails and detailed South Pacific décor. Open till 5:00 a.m. This is a great place to start the party or end it.
It is a short taxi ride from the center:
When you leave have the bartender call for their preferred Taxi service at a flat rate.
Decent little tiki bar. Decor was great, staff friendly, music was good and drinks were tasty and strong. Nice little refuge in the middle of Prague.
Only complaint was no house mug, which seems to be commonplace in Europe. Too bad, because I love taking a souvenir home!
Visited May 2016, went twice. First time on a Tuesday night, very quiet. Alena was my bartender. Made a good zombie. Went back Friday night, met owner Josef. We chatted about tikis. Made a wall street zombie. A nice small place in a European city. Not far from the train station. Good vibe, clean. If you are in Prague, stop in
Great tiki bar in źiźkov. Small but great vibes and good drinks. Try the 'spank my purple pineapple monkey ass '. Also the only place I've visited that makes an absinth tiii cocktail.
Taky Tiki has completely renovated their interior; it has been redone with more bamboo, more tikiness and flying turtle murals on the ceiling! It is now called "Tiki Taky" but it's still the same bar. They have a better website now, too:
