Tucano's - Surry Hills

Visit: 7 Sep 2023

My first visit to this new bar in Surry Hills. It describes itself as a “modern tiki bar” and has a more tropical vibe than your traditional tiki bar. The cocktails were good (I only took a photo of the ‘happy hour’ drinks; there’s a longer menu on their website) and the food menu looks good. No mugs or swizzles or coasters but it’s brand new so hopefully these come.

Tucano's - Surry Hills Bar & Restaurant – Surry Hills, New South Wales, Australia

Opened in August 2023.

From the Tucano's website:

"Where tropical breeze meets Italian seas.

Experience our version of Modern Tiki, where tropical and Mediterranean flavours meet. (Tucano is Italian for toucan!)

Whether you’re after dinner, drinks, or disco party vibes set to our funky soundtrack, Tucano’s is a colourful local Surry Hills bar where we encourage you to wet your beaks."

*Not to be confused with the popular Brazilian grill restaurant chain of the same name in the US.

Tucano's is a bit misleading with describing itself as "Modern Tiki" but at least they acknowledge that it is their "version" and that there is some fusion with other genres going on (zebra and leopard upholstered furniture, disco night, and original tropical cocktails that tilt more toward Miami than Polynesia).

"Tiki" seems to be the leading buzzword when people really just mean "jungle" or "tropical" or "beachy". However, Tucano's does seem like a fun place and the cocktails sound good as well.
