    Such a cute place to stop by and grab a few drinks, eat some small bites and watch a game! It wasn't super crowded so there were lots of options to sit whether at the bar or one of the small booths. I was super impressed with the themed drinks and glasses! We ordered at the bar and everything came out fairly quickly. Would definitely return to see what seasonal drinks are being offered.

    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.

    CanTiki is one of those places I've had in my back pocket for a number of years and went back and forth on visiting just based off the photos and reviews I've seen online. I finally checked it out and found it to be an odd mashup of clashing themes. It's called "The CanTiki" which implies it's a tiki-focused/themed bar, but the decor and ambiance were far from tiki-esque. The bar itself is really divey and doesn't have much (or really any) actual tiki themed decor. The cocktail menu is decent for a divey tiki bar, but the cocktails felt a bit out of wack. The service was alright, but not the best. Against my better judgement I asked if they offer swizzle sticks to which the bartender gave me a dirty look and very rudely snapped back with a "no". The saving grace for CanTiki is their cocktail program is fine for a dive bar, but I wouldn't bother stopping by if you're looking for an actual tiki experience.

    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

    Can't say enough good things about: The CanTiki on Magnolia in NoHo. Today KO was kind enough to make a Ghosted Girl- tequila, coconut, pineapple, lime, ghost pepper & pandan (plant leaf) Thank you KO, Amanda (manager/curator) & Laura for the fantastic food on the regular

    Drinks have been really solid the last few times I've visited. Service is always great. And Beachbum Berry's Sippin Santa holiday overlay is GREAT! Very cozy holiday vibes. Highly recommend.

    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.

    Loved this little spot! Great vibes, friendly bartenders and delicious cocktails! Jupiter was so friendly and helpful behind the bar

    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

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

Lighthearted and well-spoken, she can chat with anyone about almost anything, and she manages the crowd well. She's a good egg who's seen it all, but seems to treat every day like it's possible to get through without any problems. There's no food for sale here, but they're happy to have you bring or order in anything you like, and you'll often see people at the bar eating meals from the many local restaurants. There are 8 TV's mounted around the place (plenty for its size), so you can watch a game if you like, and the digital jukebox is easy to manage from an app on your phone. Plus, they've got solid, reliable WiFi, in case you're sick of sitting in Starbucks. Drinks are modestly priced and generously poured, and there's ample parking, both in the lot out back and on the un-metered street out front. This may not be the right place for a marriage proposal, but it's definitely the right place to hang out and cool off in the dog days of summer.
