Great little tiki bar! The “hidden” element of the bar was a fun experience. The history behind the space of the bar once being a studio for The Doors was fascinating too. The Ghost of Jim Morrison drink was literally on fire as the bartender sang “Light My Fire”.

I drove down for their first ever mug release and stayed afterwards for a couple hours to visit with people and sample their menu. The coconut shrimp with spicy marmalade sauce was fantastic. I would probably come here again just for that. The bartenders were extremely friendly and attentive to everyone while making cocktails at the same time. While there, I started with their Maverick (riff on a Test Pilot), then the Lucky's Grog, and finished with the Captain's Inner Circle. All very tasty!

Very nice, dark and immersive. Enjoyed our food and drinks.

This was our second Tiki Bar in the LA area and it did not disappoint! It took us a few minutes to find the secret entrance hidden behind the classic Tail-o-the-Pup hotdog restaurant, but we figured it out! Once the door opened, we climbed a well decorated set of stairs to the upstairs tiki bar. As with most, this was dark and moody, but with a good sense of humor and modern tiki added in. I really like the smiling mascot and ended up buying a shirt to take him home with me. Lots of great decorations here. Also the Doors recorded in this space, which is pretty cool. Service was excellent and the bartenders were showing off with some fire effects at times. A couple of ladies from Appleton Estate Rums in Jamaica were there and sampling their rum and and Old Fashioned made with this was half price. I got one that was smoked and presentation was impressive (see pic of blue light and smoking chest). Drinks overall were very good, but classics Mai Tai and Rum Barrel were a bit on the dry side for me. Vibe 9/10. Service 9/10. Drinks 7.5/10. Overall Tiki-Tastic Score 8.5/10.

Had a lovely visit wand was so impressed with everything they had to offer. decor, drinks, service and food are all 10/10

Cool place subpar drinks

9:00PM Saturday visit. It was pretty crowded but didn't feel overcrowded. Sat at the bar and had a good conversation with both bartenders. Great drinks and good food as well. Sampled a few high-proof rums - which left me wanting to run to a liquor store and pick them all up! Definitely will return to Lucky Tiki the next time I'm in LA.

There for the soft opening first night!!!!

Great, if small, hidden tiki bar that you will never find without directions! Good drinks (they serve food but the kitchen was closed after 10pm when we got there), very nice tiki decor and vibe — and we particularly appreciated that they play Hawaiian/tiki music throughout, nothing kills the illusion like a jukebox full of headbanger music. Our server, Genesis, was a doll, very friendly and took the time to answer our questions about the history of the place. And it's got some history! We will be back.
