Fantastic spot in the heart of Napa!
Tiki Bar
Wilfred's Lounge
Napa, California, United States
Opened November 12th, 2021 in the space formerly occupied by BurgerFi.
This is Napa's first tiki bar, run by Nat Komes and family, who have deep roots in Napa and are known for Flora Springs Winery.
The name of the lounge is inspired by their family history and Uncle Wilfred in particular. Flora Cabral and her brother, Wilfred, grew up in Hawaii. Flora later married Jerry Komes and they started Flora Springs Winery.
This location pays homage to Wilfred, who often played the ukulele and entertained guests.
Their signature tiki logo was inspired by The Tiki-Jo logo tiki which was carved by Eli Hedley in the late 50s.
Interior work was done by Ben Bassham (Bamboo Ben, who is the grandson of Eli Hedley) and Billy Crud (Crud Tiki Polynesian Design).
