Tiki Bar
The Luau - San Diego
San Diego, California, United States
Opened March 2nd, 2022.
The Luau was developed by owner/bartender Brett Rose to "stoke the masses".
Though not as lavishly decorated as some tiki palaces, tilting perhaps a touch more towards the surf bar than the tiki bar end of the spectrum with its coral painted walls and serviceable wood café chairs, there are still, indeed, several tikis throughout.
It has a live music stage in front of house and an outdoor patio in back.
Some nice decorative touches include a wall of ukuleles behind the live music stage, some Oceanic Arts style masks on the walls, lauhala matting, fish floats, and a couple of concrete tiki fountains out on the patio.
Tiki favorites are served in tiki mugs and volcano bowls. Including the Tropical Itch cocktail, with backscratchers included.
