Tiki Bar

Prosperity Bar

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Opened in February of 2024 in Calgary's Chinatown by Nhi Tran and Tanner Ennis.

This is the same team behind Paper Lantern (a Chinatown speakeasy opened mid 2020).

While Paper Lantern is considered a "Tropical Bar", Prosperity is "Full Tiki" although they state that they have tried to avoid pitfalls of over-sexualization and cultural exploitation that many point to as disturbing elements of the Tiki Aesthetic. Basically, this seems to mean they have stayed clear of actual tiki carvings or artwork depicting sexy hula girls, but most other expected tiki elements are fair game.

The new spot is on the site of the Golden Inn, which closed its doors in 2022.

The main area is lined with bamboo walls and large roomy green curved booths.

Swag lamps line the perimeter, and continue into the bar area, along with thatching and other natural materials to complete the island look.

The tiki cocktail menu is relatively short, but profiles many classic standards that Tiki fans are sure to love.
