The Tiki Bungalow

Dongcheng Qu, China

Owner Phil Tory opened this tiki bar in September 2015 in the Dongcheng district of Beijing. A brief earlier incarnation of Bungalow was in another part of town. Most seating was outdoors, but a small amount of seating was available indoors with the bar. Tory and his aloha-shirt clad team served a slate of serious classic tiki cocktails. The small interior had tall tiki poles flanking a large collection of bottles.

In April 2017, a nearby fire didn't harm the Tiki Bungalow space, but the decision was made to raze its building anyhow.

The Tiki Bungalow reopened at 46 Fangjia Hutong (enter from Jiaodaokou Bei Santiao, next to Peiping Taphouse). The bar is slightly bigger than it used to be when housed at its former location. The bar menu is pretty exhaustive, showcasing house cocktails as well as a wide selections of cocktails from other tiki bars from around the world.
