Tiki Bar

Burt's Tiki Lounge - Albuquerque

Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States (Closed)

Opened in 1999 at this smaller original location.

This was a popular bar with live music and no cover. Burt's had lots of kitschy decor, but not a lot of actual tikis.

In 2016, Burt's decided to trade this original Gold Avenue location for 515 Central NW as part of a significant expansion project. Burt’s nearly tripled in size to accommodate as many as 600-700 people for its live music shows.

The theming was kept the same but it was more sparsely decorated. After the move, the bar lost momentum and eventually closed in 2018.

There does not appear to be any connection between this Burt's Tiki Lounge and the Burt's Tiki Lounge in Salt Lake City.
