The Splash-Down – 2 Aug 2023
Thank god for jet lag!! My first night in San Diego on my Tiki Oasis 2023 tour and I’d had dinner at Mothership but given I was still on Australian time decided to come check out False Idol.
This is my favourite San Diego tiki bar. The decor is amazing!! Had a couple of great cocktails and eventually found myself at the bar and met another Tiki Oasis newbie who I’d catch up at other events and lectures with.
Even better I managed to pick up a purple Bosko fog cutter mug at the bar and then got it signed by the artist at the Tiki Oasis marketplace. The bar staff were really cool as well. Keep an eye out for the Jacoby’s coaster I brought all the way from Sydney.

My first time here, during mini Comic-Con. This place is a classic, with great drinks and incredible atmosphere — hard to believe it's less than 10 years old! Even with a packed house on a Saturday night, the bartenders are friendly and will chat with you easily, happy to answer your questions and make drink recommendations as they mix. Now I go here every time I'm in San Diego. Terrific!
Trader Tom – 30 Sept 2016
Sat at the bar with Kelly "Hiphipahula" Reilly and had a rum barrel and a chartreuse swizzle. I think this is where I had my first taste of Plantation Rum's OFTD (released in July of that year), which I now keep stocked and find quite indispensable.
