Tiny Tiki - Washington DC
13 Apr 2023
This was one of my favorite modern Tiki finds. Very small and dark. Limited menu, but enough to get through a night. Very chill from the blue lighting to the Erykah Badu/Lauryn Hill soundtrack (I normally hate non classic Tiki soundtracks, but this just worked). Everyone I was with had a great time. Service was awesome. Decor was fun and unique, but noteworthy for such a small space.
Drink notes: 1)Planter's Passion - Flor de cana, Jamaican rum, rum agrichole, orgeat, lime, bitters. Awesome drink. 2) Maui Mockingbird - Tequila tiki - great Tiki style drink for a tequila fan.

Tiny Tiki - Washington DC
Washington, District of Columbia, United States (Closed)
Opened in 2021 underneath a Vietnamese restaurant in DC's Adams Morgan neighborhood.
Tiny Tiki is a small, intimate bar, seating around 30 people, with 6-8 at the bar. The decor is traditional tiki, with lowered lights, statues, carvings, and Polynesian-pop decoration throughout. A very large Moai at the entrance faces a decommissioned Vespa next to the table seating. The drink menu covers the Tiki greatest-hits with a reasonably extensive rum list, organized by origin. The bartenders will take orders off menu. No food is available, but can be brought in from neighboring shops.
*NOTE: Not to be confused with the Tiny Tiki in Spokane, Washington (closed "temporarily" since 2021).
Tiny Tiki closed on 29 June, 2024.
