The Secret Tiki Temple
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
This thinly veiled speakeasy tiki bar was located within the Pagoda Chinese Restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida.
The restaurant had been open since 1975, but the newer edition of the Secret Tiki Temple came about in 2017 or so.
The exterior sign highlighted that there was a tiki lounge and the murals on the exterior showed frolicking pandas as well as tikis.
Inside, the space was exclusively a Chinese style restaurant until you reached the hidden lounge of the Secret Tiki Temple.
Once inside the temple, the interior was richly layered and had tikis, Elvis paintings, fish floats, fish traps, colored mood lighting and basically everything you would expect from a vintage style tiki bar.
Closed April 26th, 2024.

This is a fantastic little gem of a bar. First off, they are very small so reservations are required for any visit. The staff is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. The drinks were phenomenal! They have their recipes down pat and there wasn't a cocktail we didn't enjoy. They do have a secret menu with a few beverages that aren't on the regular menu, so be sure to ask. The high end Mai Tai served in a Spam can is one of them and it was one of my favorites. The atmosphere is perfect classic Tiki and you can tell they have been collecting for a long time. Without a doubt a must if you are in or near Jacksonville.

Ate in the "Snuggler's Cove" and got to meet Trader Blake and Secret Tiki Tommy. Great time chatting tiki, good drinks, and great food. Patiently awaiting the release of their new Peacock Chair mug.
