    All about location! The location is perfect and the music is great! Other than that, I would keep looking if you are in the search for good food. This is more like snack bar at food at restaurant rates. I paid $20 for a burger and bag of chips. If it was a good burger, I'd be good with that, but it was on par with a very basic fast food burger, so could have paid about $5 for something similar or better. That said.... I think I was more paying for the music and beautiful views, being on the water. If you are looking to hang out in a chill place, and are not that concerned with food quality then I highly recommend the spot. Otherwise, like I said earlier, Id keep on looking :-)

    Service was friendly, definitely short staffed- but not the staffs fault. They were doing the best they could - especially on a Friday after the popular Farmers market. Be patient and prepared to chill out.

    Great tacos, tasty margs, and a stellar location! My husband and I headed to Lake Dillon for a day of paddle boarding (which did not disappoint), and after some time on the water we decided on an early happy hour. The Tiki Bar is a cute spot right overlooking the lake and mountainous views. It has a cool vibe, being made up of a few docks lined around the area. Plenty of patio seating and very laid back feel. Oh yeah, totally puppy friendly too. Our server, Charlotte, was great. She was masked and kept a friendly social distance. We were seated fairly far from other tables and given paper menus for single use as well. Plus, there's specified entry and exit ways to keep human traffic movin' safely. There aren't a whole lot of items on the menu, as it seems they limited it for now. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tiki Rita (aka margarita on the rocks), and my husband was happy with the Pug's Pilsner. Five stars for the Tiki Tacos as well, dang those were delish. The blackened cod was perfectly seasoned and there's no better topping combo than pico + avocado. Jonno really wasn't a fan of his chicken tenders, so I was kind enough to share a taco! I wouldn't hesitate to return. Hopefully see you again soon, Tiki!

    Great place to end the day with a fruity cocktail. The view cannot be beat with both the lake and mountains. Very lively vibe.

    Awesome place for some sunshine and super drinks if you're soaking up the Dillon lake side! Stopped here after hiking around the reservoir and it was the perfect way to end the ride. They've got tons of fun drinks on the menu so probably something for everyone. When we visited there was some live music but there are multiple places to sit so you can either hang out close for the music or find your own space if you want to just chill. Both shaded and sunshine options for sitting.

    This picture of their $6 portion of squeeze-tube guac says all you need to know: Come here for the environment and pay the price of admission through supremely mediocre food and slow, barely-competent service.

    The location. Lots of stairs (FYI) or you can walk around the parking lot and go down that way.

    The service was great and very attentive. Dog friendly patio. The food and drinks, meh. We had: The rum runner (slushy drink with a rum floater), Kokomo, and a Pilsner. Chicken fingers. Rum runner - caveat, I'm not a fan of out of the slushy machine drinks to begin with. It was ok? Not anything to write home about, but drinkable. I ordered thinking it was going to be more like a rum punch. Kokomo - super sweet. Tasted like it needed another shot or two bc it was that thick purée syrup overtaking the drink. Could not drink it all. Pilsner - run of the mill Pilsner. Chicken fingers - 5 fingers and a bag of Lay's chips. You can pick BBQ or Ranch dip. Kinda like chicken strips you buy in the freezer section and fried.

    We cycled from Frisco marina to Dillon marina and stopped at the Tiki Bar for lunch and drinks. The atmosphere is great and the location on the water is perfect. The place was busy and the service was a little slow, but we had a great time just watching the boats and sipping on a few different cocktails before we rode back. Would highly recommend a stop here if you are in the area.

Our bar tender was friendly and informative. He lets us sample a beer as my husband was curious but wasn't sure he wanted to order a pint.

I got the pork green chili and my husband got the French onion soup, both were delicious, warm and a perfect cozy winter meal.

Finding a seat wasn't a problem and our group sat down to unwind after a long day of travel. Our server was excellent and she informed us that a few things off the menu weren't available due to an understaffed kitchen and that only a few beer selections were on tap because their head brewer had recently quit. Not a stellar start, but shit happens in the restaurant industry. My rating--I ordered a steak which was good but slightly over-cooked for my tastes and their unfortunately minimal beer selection. I don't like IPAs and that was really the only option for "lighter" beers. I'm sure they'll get things sorted out and when they do, I'll give them another chance.

Definitely ones of the standouts on the classic cocktail menu. Flip the menu around and you'll find unique original drinks. For the classics, stick with Mai Tai, Jungle Bird, Saturn, or Piña Colada. We came here after an event where there was appetizers, so we didn't want to commit to entrées. Jungle has a nice selection of tropical appetizers, burgers, chicken tenders, fish tacos, etc. This was my first time eating here. We ordered the ceviche and nachos. Ceviche was very sweet due to the passion fruit (actually way too sweet) but I appreciated the execution of the shrimp, lime, and other ingredients. The nachos were solid with a white queso. A fancier/island take on a bar staple. Wouldn't run back for either personally, just my preference! We sat on the patio and service was prompt and friendly. I would like to sit inside one day, keep in mind close to half the seating is outside the actual bar. But on a beautiful night in Boulder, it's a great place to be. Definitely recommend Jungle. It's not one of those overly pretentious tiki bars. It has a nice neighborhood bar feel, albeit their talent behind the stick. Check them out!

Seating consists of clubby booths, small tables, high tops, and the bar. You can make reservations, but we managed to snag a table on a Friday evening as a walk-in. Tiki drinks are notoriously strong, but there are also sections of the menu for low ABV and non alcoholic drinks, which is good for me! I got the El Presidente, and my husband had the POG mocktail. Both yummy! Also yummy was the chocolate Kaluha toffee mud pie, which was awesome but very rich so the perfect thing to split. We didn't have dinner here, but we heard the next table going into raptures about how good their food was. Since the space is rather cramped, you will hear all the gossip from the drunk people at neighboring tables, which got hilarious after a while. Our server, Alex, was friendly and on the ball. Overall, a fun spot for dinner, drinks, dessert or all three. Mahalo!
