Great use of outdoor space.

Tiki Bar

Tiki-Tock - at The Frenchman Hotel - New Orleans

New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

Opened in April of 2023.

This is more of a tropical bar than a tiki bar.

Without "Tiki" in the name, there is nothing in the decor to support the "tikiness" of the venue. It would be equally at home in Mexico or Jamaica or the Caribbean.

Palapa thatched umbrellas designate seating areas and there are runners of palm thatching around the top and bottom of the bar which look like they could be quickly torn down in an afternoon if the Frenchman Hotel decided its Patio needed a re-fresh and a different theme.

One corner has some tropical wallpaper and a few large tropical flower prints. There are no tiki carvings or Polynesian artworks.

And, the stark concrete floor, large exposed brick walls, and black-painted industrial metal ceiling are at odds with the rest of the decor.

Despite this, they have a very good menu of tropical and tiki cocktails and have drawn high praise for the quality of their cocktails, created by Patrick Williams, VP of operations and innovation for Angevin & Co., which owns the hotel and bar.
