What an amazing evening! Two of my favorite things: A speakeasy, and a tiki bar. So a tikeasy!…read moreSure, it took a couple of tries, and maybe asking the wait staff at the Irish bar next door, where the tikeasy was hiding. You enter an immersive world that really outshines any tiki bar to which I've ever been. The magic radiates out of every nook and cranny. That was complimented by our bartender, Billy, knocking out some perfect killer classics, like a real Mai Tai, and Navy Grog, that, post the 1950s became kind of sugar filled, over-the-top mockeries of the Tiki cocktail arts. No mockery here. Just the old school magic. It's a very analog, and thankfully honest, unhipster revival for a generation who knows not of Bali Hai, Don the Beachcomber, the Mai Kai, and San Francisco's once-great, now seedy Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, at the Fairmont Hotel, on Nob Hill. The crowd, including the regulars, were a lot of fun. In all, a really awesome evening! Five stars, for all of that, and a sixth for the memories.

And best of all the staff is really excited and genuinely happy to bring the tiki experience to their customers. But, really, it's more than just a special place.

Past its door is an oasis of good mixology and deep house music. The bartender made an artistic preparation of a well blended mai-tai, and the drink was nicely garnished as well. They have a few couches and tables to relax, but why not enjoy the house music beats on the dance floor? Yes the space is cozy but it was a great throwback to my clubbing days of yore. Highly recommend!

All the bartenders are fun and really make the cocktail experience an interesting one. I came with some friends to Casa Tiki to enjoy the Love Island watch party they were hosting. It was such a fun evening, everyone really enjoyed it. Casa Tiki had everyone interacting with one another and bonding over the show. They even had a twerk battle, it was a party! This place feels like it's Christmas in a tiki hut. There's a pool table right when you walk in, if you come later in the evening you have more of a chance to acquire the table. There's street parking available for anyone coming to check this spot out.

She tried to rope us into coming to her establishment, but we were set on finding tiki bars so we told her we were going to Delirio. She said, "No! You don't want to go in there, that place is bad!" We said we'd come back to her place later, and she said, "Yes, check out that place then come back HERE." We didn't go back to her place because Delirio was fabulous. Yes, the drinks were expensive, but all the drinks everywhere were expensive, so we knew that going in. We each had one drink, sat outside near the pool for awhile and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I love the decor in the bar itself, and the bartender and other patrons were friendly. Love the Delirio!

The lechon sandwich was packed with flavor and loaded with generous portions of pork. The guacamole was good overall, though we felt the portion size was a bit small for the price. We also sampled several mojito flavors. The tamarind and cucumber variations were our favorites, offering unique and refreshing flavor profiles. Unfortunately, the blackberry and strawberry versions missed the mark. The fruit purées and muddled ingredients seemed to overpower the drinks, resulting in cocktails that lacked both sweetness and distinct fruit flavor. One thing we really enjoyed was the atmosphere. While the restaurant is primarily an outdoor dining concept, the combination of air conditioning, fans, and covered seating kept things comfortable. The tropical tiki hut vibe creates a fun and relaxed setting that makes for an enjoyable dining experience. One thing guests should be aware of is that a 20% service charge/gratuity is automatically added to the bill. It's worth taking a moment to review your check before adding an additional tip to avoid unintentionally tipping twice.

We were seated in the main bar area and both ordered a beverage. I got the Amazonia, a gin based drink with agave lavender and lemon juice with a macha rim. Caleb got the El Presidente, which is a rum based drink with orange liqueur, vermouth, and pomegranate. The drinks were really good, and as expected in a place like this, a bit on the expensive side, but at Swizzle you have a mixologist preparing your cocktails, which always heightens the quality! It was nice to find an intimate place in Miami Beach to kick back enjoy a cocktail and just have some nice conversation, and some people watching with each other. We didn't make a reservation and likely just hit the timing right, so we got in right away and had a great spot. Lentz_explore

I went here for lunch by myself to have a bar meal and check the place out. I had read good things…read more Wow, what a disappointment! Parking (I was riding my motorcycle) was scarce. I talked the friendly valet into letting me park between a handicap space and a dumpster. The service was awful. It was 1:30 pm and there were about 15 customers with capacity for 100+. I was given a menu and a glass of water timely and the lady behind the bar seemed friendly. There were plenty of staff around waiting tables and backing the bar. I ordered a blackened fish sandwich and a draft beer. The beer came right away in a plastic mug. The pour was less than 12 oz. (small mug) and the brew was barely chilled. Almost room temperature. After 20 minutes and no fish sandwich, the bar lady came by and asked me: "Did you get your fish sandwich?" I said no. She then went in the main building (presumably where the kitchen is located) coming out a few minutes later while holding up 2 fingers, mouthing "2 minutes." The sandwich was $22 without fries (which were and extra $9 as a side). I didn't order those. The half-pint warm beer was $8. About 7 minutes later, another server came from the main building and delivered a scrawny, soggy bun containing a thick, small, undercooked, hunk of blackened fish flesh only 80% skin free. I had to finish the filleting myself. The toppings were parsley and onion. It was the ugliest and most tasteless blackened fish sandwich I have ever been served. I should've taken a photo. Anyway, by this point, I was in a hurry to get out of there as the place was a total fail. I picked at the fish with my fork and knife and ate the part that was actually meat and cooked, leaving the rest (skin included) and the soggy bun on the plate. With an 18% gratuity included, a simple grilled fish sandwich with no sides and a warm beer came out to almost $40. On the positive side, the view of the water and the Miami - Brickell skyline was good. However, I won't be coming back to this joint again. If I could give it Zero stars, I would.
