The Tiki Bar And Grill

Gautier, Mississippi, United States

The Tiki Bar And Grill (formerly "Tiki Restaurant Lounge and Marina") has great views and has been a fixture for many years although it has had periodic shut-downs and changes of ownership.

It opened in 1969, and while it may have had great theming back then, the theming now is minimal, with bamboo lining the bar and a few inexpensive Indonesian style tiki masks hanging outside at the entrance.

Not much to interest the seasoned tikiphile here anymore...

The site was left in ruins after Katrina in August 2005 and re-built on a much smaller scale, re-opening in 2011.

Then, closed again in March 25th, 2020, because of the Covid crisis.

Re-opened in September of 2024 with new owners.

It doesn't appear that anything tiki, other than a new logo, has been added for the re-opening although the interior looks refreshed and re-painted.

The restaurant specialized in casual seafood, particularly gumbo, for many years. These are still available. However, they have an extensive new food menu on their website which offers many more options as well.

Family dining on main floor and a second floor for more refined dining or private parties.

But no cocktail menu, so they may not even have cocktails...although they appear to have beer and wine.

Known for live music on the weekends.
