Tiki Bar

The Secret Tiki Temple

Jacksonville, Florida, United States (Closed)

This thinly veiled speakeasy tiki bar was located within the Pagoda Chinese Restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida.

The restaurant had been open since 1975, but the newer edition of the Secret Tiki Temple came about in 2017 or so.

The exterior sign highlighted that there was a tiki lounge and the murals on the exterior showed frolicking pandas as well as tikis.

Inside, the space was exclusively a Chinese style restaurant until you reached the hidden lounge of the Secret Tiki Temple.

Once inside the temple, the interior was richly layered and had tikis, Elvis paintings, fish floats, fish traps, colored mood lighting and basically everything you would expect from a vintage style tiki bar.

Closed April 26th, 2024.
