I was a bit unsure about going "off-campus" to visit at the end of our Disneyland vacation, but I had heard and seen such good things about it, I decided to sacrifice a few nighttime hours in the park to check it out. I had a reservation for one at the Captain's Bar, and got there early (was bored at the hotel with my husband and daughter going to bed), and spent some time outside waiting to get in. That's where I had their exquisite coconut cheesecake, and discovered that I was in for something incredible. And indeed, I was. This might be one of the most perfect tiki bars I've ever visited. Back story? In the menu! Decor? Themed and dressed up into an immersive wonderland with beauty and whimsy all striking the right notes! An impressive mug collection paying homage to other bars around the country! A piece of decor I have in my own bar that made me feel special! Friendly, engaging bartenders! Fabulous drinks! Cozy bar chairs! Swizzle sticks! Custom umbrella garnishes! I mean, I've been debating if this takes the spot in my heart from Hale Pele, but.... my god, it might. It really really might. I had the time of my life here, and would have stayed for another drink, but I did have a flight to catch. I really hope I can go back, and soon.

Tiki Bar

Strong Water Anaheim

Anaheim, California, United States

Close

Strong Water Anaheim is a tropical, nautical bar with Asian inspired food and a small hidden room full of wonder based on the mid-1800s mysterious shipwreck of the vessel Clementine. Brought to you by the owners of Blind Rabbit, this Packing House-adjacent bar has a whole back bar dedicated just to gin and also serves up tropical libations and Asian-Hawaiian inspired appetizers and entrees. It does have some tikis throughout, a fountain shaped like a giant moss-covered skull, and a tiki mug cabinet with several shelves of mugs -- vintage and from other establishments and events.
