Ilene and I went here and vended at their Haunted Hulaween event and had a blast. I had been here once before as a customer to see the Tikiyaki Orchestra play. Had a great time then, too. There is also an amazing Spanish Tapas Restaurant down the street, Cafe Sevilla.
Tiki Bar
Secret Island
Long Beach, California, United States
Opened September 30th, 2021.
This bar is underground, below Shannon's on Pine. The build-out was completed by Bamboo Ben.
Some features include a poured resin bartop with a "stream" of resin running along the middle of the wood surface, a "lava" throne for photo ops, a floor with bright orange/red "lava" rivulets painted where you might normally see grout lines, and plenty of thatch and tikis.
This is also a live music venue.
The entire building is under one owner, so they are able to utilize several different levels and areas of indoor space for marketplace events as well (beyond just the bar). They started their own marketplace in June 2022 -- held roughly at quarterly intervals throughout the year.
