    I stopped by here after dinner. As it was still happy hours for another 20 minutes, it was great. My first time here which it's located in the art district just along Magnolia Blvd. It's metered street parking but you could get lucky and find residential parking nearby. As it was rainy, which is rare to say about LA. But it's been a miracle with all that we had. Anyway, they do have a patio area outside in front but it wasn't utilized with the rain. Inside it's a cool vibe. A nice bar that also offered food. We made it before happy hour ended so it was great for a drink. Not only drinks specials, there was also small bites food specials. There's also a regular menu with food as well as the regular cocktails. It's a full bar so whatever you like I'm sure it could be prepared. Felicia took care of us when we arrived. Very sweet and so friendly. Nice to walk into a place where your chatting with someone versus just sitting down and that's that. Some people prefer that but I like to mingle. It's a bar but could also double as a sports bar. Loads of seating along the big stretch of bar as well booths seats along the wall and more seating towards the back. There's also a stage that host different events nightly. We noticed an open mic night, trivial night and so on. There was a screen along the bar area that was displaying all the different events happening. It's a cool spot that we walked into. Even though I've walked past by it loads of time. A cool place with a nice happy hour menu. Drinks were great. Oh, we had both the margaritas with a salt rim and tajin rim. Both was great and happy hour price of 10.00. Will definitely be back for more cocktails especially with great service and friendly staff. And there's loads of television for whatever sports you're into. They had a security guard when we left but not when we arrived.

    The CanTiki is a great NoHo spot for fun drinks and vibes! I recently came to the CanTiki for their Sippin' Santa Holiday themed set-up, and had a total blast! The themed drinks were really creative, fun, and I loved the different mugs that come for each cocktail. We tried a few rounds of drinks - my favorites were the Hot Buttered Grog for a warm drink, and the Holiday on Ice for a cold drink! The Hot Buttered Grog was soothing and felt great to sip, while also having a good kick and strength from the liquor! The Holiday on Ice, on the other hand, gave satisfying chills and was similarly strong! I also really appreciated the care that the bartender took into preparing each individual drink, taking a few minutes...but it was well worth the wait! I also loved the variety of seating available - from bar seating, high tops, booths, and tables. This is a great local spot in NoHo and I highly recommend for a casual Tiki bar to hang at for some cocktails and chats!

    Went here during the holidays for the Sippin' Santa event where they offered different festive tiki glassware to go with the holiday cocktails. The vibe was local, friendly and fun. Bartenders were attentive and took good care of us. They made sure to thank us for stopping in, which was a nice touch. I'm also a big fan of tiki bars and it hits that mark, too.

    Wanted to try a new Tiki bar and came across The Can Tiki. It has a laid back atmosphere, plenty of tv's to watch sports. During football season they are a Cincinnati Bengals bar and serve Cincinnati Chili items. Drinks a delicious. I had the Ghosted Girl, has the right mix of sweet and spice. My husband had the Huana Pina Colada, which was delicious. Definitely will come ba

    We went to this bar on a Friday night. It was crowded, but we were seated right away. Honestly, chicken wings are so good. They were spicy, but not too much. They had perfect seasoning. I really recommend ordering wings. Drinks were tasty too. This place is pet friendly too. I saw couple of people bringing their dogs inside and dining. Overall, this is a cool bar to spend time on a Friday night.

    I love Tiki bars. This is such a wonderful addition to the roster of options in LA. But what separates this from the others is the owner and operator, Amanda, is such a lovely person and seasoned mixologist expert. The vibe isn't overly Tiki in decor which I think is a really smart choice. The drinks are exceptional. It appeals to both tiki folks and the general clientele. Plenty of TV's for the games, karaoke on certain nights. Feels much more a friendly, neighborhood bar with a theme than it does an overt TIKI bar (again, in a great way). Come and enjoy.

    Yes I Cantiki! Happy hour daily 3pm-6pm and they have the best bang for your buck on cocktails! $8 cocktails...3 of them can be upgraded to buckets for only $4 more. You get a bucket of LA River Water for $12 is a steal in North Hollywood! our server/bartender was the best. Very attentive and always checking in on us. We came in for a few apps & cocktails and we're so happy we did! Great space with tables and buffet seats in the back with a TV. Plenty of bar seating and a few 2 top tables up front. Looks like they may have a DJ play sometimes. The vibe and decor is everything! Outdoor patio seats to people watch, but a little too hot to enjoy just yet. The happy hour pricing and what you get for the prices are amazing! I am so excited to have found CanTiki! You have made regulars out of us

    Yes!

    They have some small plates - dumplings and things like fries.

Still a nice little spot if you happen to be nearby and want a casual place to hang out for a bit.

    We visited Tonga Hut during their recent "Spring Time Schenanigans" tiki marketplace event. They…read morehave a tiki marketplace several times a year, and this one was held on a Sunday afternoon from noon to 6pm. It takes place mostly in their rear patio area and parking lot, but a good number of vendors were also in an adjacent air conditioned event room. They have a very small parking lot, but it was occupied by vendors during this event. Do not park in the parking lots of the adjacent businesses, as we were warned when entering the Tonga Hut that cars get towed regularly. There's plenty of street parking in the nearby neighborhood. Entering from the rear, there is a good sized covered patio with around eight benches. We went inside to check it out and grab a drink. The interior is fairly small with four good sized booths, a lounge area with a large J-shaped couch with several small tables, and around ten seats at the bar. It is dimly lit with some basic tiki décor, and has an old-school feel. They had a fixed cocktail menu for this event which is understandable. We stood in line at the bar for about ten minutes, got our drinks and went out to the patio. The bartender was friendly, and didn't seem flustered by the high volume of patrons. I had the Horned Beast O' The Celtic Sea (Oceanus Hibernicus Irish Malt, Jamacian Rum, House Made Falernum & Orgeat, Peach, Citrus, Dash of Cherry Heering, $13). She had the Leprechaun Grog (Three Rums, Lime, Grapefruit, Honey, Spice, Soda, $14). Both drinks were good, were served in souvenir plastic cups, and were a bargain at $13 to $14. If you ordered a drink containing Oceanus whiskey, the bartender gave you a gold coin and you could exchange it with the Oceanus representative on the patio for a free T-shirt. Durango Tacos was setup near the rear entrance for food. We had four tacos (two carne asada and two veggie), and they were good and reasonably priced. This was the first tiki marketplace we have attended. There were around twenty vendors with a good assortment of art work, tiki mugs, tiki clothing, tiki décor, and other miscellaneous items. I purchased a few nice tiki shirts which were a steal at $20 and $25. The vendors and visitors were all very friendly and in a festive mood. We hung out for about ninety minutes and had a good time. We will return at some point to try their regular cocktail menu and see what it's like on a non-event night.

    Tonga hut is my favorite local tiki bar, but it is such a hit or miss when I go!…read more On a weekend, you could easily walk in with no problem or be hit with a one-hour wait. Sometimes they have servers, other times you order at the bar. The last time I went, there was a long line as only one bartender was making drinks, yikes! Despite that, the drinks are solid, reasonably priced, and strong! They have a variety of drinks and nightly specials. Each bartender also has their own "secret menu" specials that only they can make. The decor is very on theme, and they have a fire pit and heaters outside for when it is chilly.

Echoing what everyone else has been saying - the service is SO slow. It was about 45 minutes before we were able to order our second drink and our water glasses were empty. They have so many runners bringing the drinks out but only a few servers and, from the looks of it, one bartender (on a Saturday night - what?!). The server was saying he was trying to find a manager to help out but they were nowhere to be found. Clearly management is fine with these service times since they're still making $$$. The drinks were delicious, and I loved that there were heaters on the patio (though they did get very hot at times). Our server was so kind and brought us a celebratory drink. I do wish there were more explanations with the beverages, especially for the Paid Vacation as most people will not realize you're supposed to bite into the buzz button for the tingly sensation. I would come back, but need some time for my wallet to recover first, haha!
