The Lost Tiki - Playa del Carmen
Date: Unknown
At first glance it may not feel as authentic, but it is a mix of Mexico and Polynesia that feels super right once you are in. The drink menu is outstanding and the owner knows his stuff. There was a really funky jazz trio with an exotic (but not Exotica) feel to it when we were there. Definitely worth the visit!

The Lost Tiki - Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Opened @ February 2018.
This bar and restaurant has a large A-frame shaped roof with grassy thatching. One side is taken up with a long bar whose backbar is formed by boat-shaped shelves. The other side of the room has a large tiki mural with some Aztec/Mayan influence. This mural often serves as a backdrop to their live music performances. Movable tables and chairs fill the space between.
Tiki decor is a bit sparse and there is a dearth of actual carved tikis. However, they have a strong cocktail menu with both classics and signature drinks -- all served in tiki mugs.
