Had an awesome time. Me and my wife's first time and I couldn't have complained. Music and atmosphere very chill and relaxing. Love it would definitely come back for more.

The service here is wonderful, all the bartenders are attentive and make pretty good drinks. They even had music on the night I went, live music with requests on the piano, cool tiki island vibe, somewhat hidden and dimmer lit.

It's good, but what kind of a tiki place doesn't have falernum? I was expecting more classic tiki cocktails on offer.

The feminine and low testosterone french manager is very insecure.

So happy I stumbled upon this place a few weeks ago! It’s right next to the theater district so it’s a fabulous place for pre-show drinks in a fun environment. The happy hour drinks are delicious and the atmosphere makes you feel like you are entering an exclusive tiki lounge. I’ve been back several times and the service is always amazing and makes you feel welcomed. Most recently we went to celebrate my friend who is getting married and the whole staff (including the piano player) made her feel extra special. Huge thanks to the Friki Tiki staff ?

The place is cute, good happy hour, but the food so bad it’s not even worth. The queso was just heated up Velveeta cheese and the pork in the tacos did not taste fresh at all. Stick to the drinks.

Great bites, tasty cocktails, and genuinely one of the all-around nicest staffs I've ever encountered in the city. Will definitely be back for pre-show libations and to check out the late night experience!

We found the bar through a bar tour. The ambience is fantastic and there is live music on the piano. The cocktails are very good. Can only be recommended.

I consider myself a connoisseur of tiki bars, and this place gets high marks. It was a Tuesday, so I didn’t expect much but the underground made it feel like a well-kept secret. There was a piano player, and the place was bustling with fun and activity. There’s a fantastic selection of rums and classic tiki drinks, plus excellent tiki glasses. The bartenders are top notch, and the drinks are delicious. Highly recommend!

We decided to give these guys try while in the area. Limited menu but decent choices for HH I had the Zombie drink not bad taste wise but too much ice , the Frozen drink was better later stitched to this. On the appetizers we tried the Crispy Chicken both Jerk spice not bad & the Friki n hot names says it all too spicy for me, friends liked it. Shrimp tempura was good, nice taste to the shrimp w the sweet & spicy sauce. Winners were probably the Pork Tacos very good great taste to the meat & the Hawaiian sweet bun Cuban tasty little sandwiches. This is an interesting place, lower level cool fun decor, good music playing & chill vibes inside. Service was good & prices were not bad during HH overall we enjoyed our drinks & appetizers.
