Tiki-Tiki Bang Bang
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
This is a speakeasy bar that has front access through an old video store.
It opened in October 22nd, 2016 as a Quentin Tarantino inspired bar. It was originally named Video Archive, taking its name from the video store where grindhouse auteur Tarantino famously got his education in all things film.
However, as of July 10th, 2020, with encouragement from their patrons, they decided to change their name and re-brand themselves as a tiki bar.
The change was not a "from scratch" new build-out. The space still looks much the same but with the addition of some added tropical/tiki decorations.
However, their menu is now full tiki.
In addition to the working video store out front and the tiki bar beyond that, there is an outside patio area in back where they sometimes set up a screen and view their favorite films.

Tiki tiki bang bang is a surprisingly faithful tiki bar with plenty for everyone. The tiki drinks are faithful riffs on tiki classics executed with skill, but for those who prefer less fruity drinks, the bar appears fully stocked for any regular order.
Don’t sleep on the Bonzai Banana, their signature cocktail; it is a lovely combination of peanut butter and banana that somehow manages to thread the needle and be perfectly refreshing; neither too sweet or too strong.
