Tiny Tiki - Washington DC

Washington, District of Columbia, United States

Opened in 2021 underneath a Vietnamese restaurant in DC's Adams Morgan neighborhood.

Tiny Tiki is a small, intimate bar, seating around 30 people, with 6-8 at the bar. The decor is traditional tiki, with lowered lights, statues, carvings, and Polynesian-pop decoration throughout. A very large Moai at the entrance faces a decommissioned Vespa next to the table seating. The drink menu covers the Tiki greatest-hits with a reasonably extensive rum list, organized by origin. The bartenders will take orders off menu. No food is available, but can be brought in from neighboring shops.

*NOTE: Not to be confused with the Tiny Tiki in Spokane, Washington (closed "temporarily" since 2021).

Tiny Tiki closed on 29 June, 2024.

This was one of my favorite modern Tiki finds. Very small and dark. Limited menu, but enough to get through a night. Very chill from the blue lighting to the Erykah Badu/Lauryn Hill soundtrack (I normally hate non classic Tiki soundtracks, but this just worked). Everyone I was with had a great time. Service was awesome. Decor was fun and unique, but noteworthy for such a small space.

Drink notes: 1)Planter's Passion - Flor de cana, Jamaican rum, rum agrichole, orgeat, lime, bitters. Awesome drink. 2) Maui Mockingbird - Tequila tiki - great Tiki style drink for a tequila fan.
