We were just going to stop in here for a quick drink as we passed through town, but we had so much fun talking to Nick and the customers that came in, we stayed for a couple hours. Him and his wife created this bar from their own collection and it’s definitely worth the time to stop by if you were in to Tiki at all! We tried three different drinks off of their menu, and they were all delicious! You can’t go wrong.

This place is such a gem! It’s a small, quaint tiki bar with amazing rum cocktails. And the coolest, friendliest bartender is an added bonus! I look forward to sharing this places with friends and family.

My Tiki Bar connoisseur friends told us this was one place they had not yet visited in the Milwaukee area, so we had to go check it out with them. We were looking for a New Year's Eve place that wasn't loud so we could actually hear each other talking and this was perfect. We had so much fun sitting near the fireplace with the skulls for logs, and looking around at all the Tiki paraphernalia. My expert friends were very impressed with the decor, and it led to a conversation about Tiki culture that was very interesting. The drinks were wonderful, the bar was not crowded, if there was any music at all I couldn't hear it, and all the folks that were in there were friendly and having a good time, not to mention the dog, Pierre! Santa was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and there was a Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man Tiki Mug in the display case. We're definitely coming back here more often. And most likely for next New Year's Eve!
Hands down my favorite place to enjoy a tikified drink with my girlfriend. Outstanding atmosphere, Nick and Tony are genuine and kind every time we visit. Always a pleasure to see their craftsmanship and passion go into each drink they serve.

Fun place with a very friendly, helpful owner! I went to Trader Nick's with a few friends for a weeknight book club. Trader Nick's is located on Lake Drive in Cudahy. It's kind of tucked into a corner lot so it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it.Trader Nick's has a wide variety of rum Tiki drinks. I'm not much of a rum drinker, but the owner ran through my drink options without my needing to ask - including a couple of vodka, gin, and Bourbon drinks on the menu. I had a Bourbon Sling and it was very tasty. My drink - with a pretty hefty tip - was around $12 - pretty reasonable, in my opinion.The owner is so nice and helpful! He checked in on our group a few times, and thanked us for visiting more than once as we left. He seemed genuinely interested in whether we had a good experience.One of the two resident dogs was cute, but he didn't seem to like me very much. I got a little growl and bark - yikes. The only thing I think could be improved is the addition of food, or at least some snacks. Especially since most of the drinks are liquor based, it would be helpful to have some food with the drinks.

Great drinks, cool feel / atmosphere. The tiki drinks are as good as any you will find. Navy Grog and Mai Tai were our favorites.
