    Berry Smash gave a good buzz
    Mikey V.

    I would've went down to 3 stars but I decided to bump it up. It wasn't a bad experience but it was just a bummer. We booked this at 10 pm on a Friday night on the OpenTable app maybe about 1 week early. We wanted to check this place out since we're gonna be in the area playing some escape rooms. Since we love tiki bars it was perfect to find this place in the same area. We arrived around 950 and we were seated right away. The host says the kitchen closed 5 minutes ago and that made our hearts sink. We were looking forward to trying out the menu and we didn't get to. We drove from Anaheim so coming back wouldn't be anytime soon. We decided to order a drink and head out for food. I ordered the Berry Smash and it was really good. Definitely felt smashed afterwards. The ambience is really cool too. Would like to see more interactive fx like rainforest cafe. Hope to be back someday.

    Deviled eggs

    Visited SCVs latest new restaurant The Fallen Trident. Celebrating a friends birthday with some light appetizers and a whole bunch of drinks. She is a major tiki fan so it was a no brainer to try this place out. It seems that it has only been open for a few months so it's definitely getting its feet underneath itself as a business. With it being so new there are obviously going to be some growing pains but any issues we encountered the staff took care of them which is always great. The decor feels a little forced but I'm thinking it just feels new and that will soon become old hat (no puns intended). The service was GREAT our server was GREAT. We were waited on by Jianna and her recommendations as well as descriptions were all spot on and appreciated. The pot stickers were delish. The deviled eggs were lighter than southern deviled eggs and delish. The tempura green beans were snappy and flavorful. The wings were sticky and spicy if you bit into the little jalapeños on them. A few people tried the loco moco and the ahi steak and each person was pleased. I can say we may have tried half of the drinks on the menu. Take your pick and find your flavor. My favorite ended up being the Lrrrr-Lrrrr. This will be a nice go to spot for rum cocktails. Prices aren't too bad. I can say that my one recommendation is that the music was not on point. It's a tiki bar. They would have been better off playing a jimmy buffet record all night. Whatever they were playing did not give tiki bar vibes. I'm sure that will change with time. Excited to fall back into the fallen trident.

    Santa Clarita has a tiki and it's.... Well...."It's okay", for most casual Tiki goers, but not great. It's the Tiki Bar that plays it safe and will scratch that itch-- plain and simple. Come here for the tiki vibe and maybe a buzz. However--the service here is actually really attentive and professional. I actually think the staff here is pretty great. The Tiki Bartenders are sarcastic and the waiters are polite and friendly. Great vibe! The drinks! So the best one was actually the Jet Pilot! We tried several drinks and some were better than others. Some were too dry on the pallet while others were very sweet. The Navy Grog was strong as expected as well, but not a winner either. (This information is mainly for Seasoned Tiki Bar Goers.) Overall, the drinks are fine. No special flashy drink presentations. Just tiki glass drinks. Which is all well and good. The food is probably the "could be better" for me. I had the Fish and it wasn't bad but there was NO flavor and their spicy sauce was the only flavor I could add to it. The Loco Moco was alright as well, but it wasn't bad. The rice was also very plain and didn't really complement the fish either. I am a little disappointed on the culinary front... don't come here for the food. The vibe of the Tiki Bar is pretty on bar with many Tiki Bar vibes with occasional sound fx and sounds with some slight flashing lights to go with it. It's a cute tiki vibe that one can escape into with a smile. This area is done well! Overall, it's a Tiki Bar that I would label as Good! Not great but it's fine. I would probably only get their Jet Pilot next time if we went back. Again their Staff was great. Nice little visit!

    Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu

    This is an optimistic 3 stars for me as I really want this place to be great and they put so much work into the design and atmosphere which, on its own, deserved 5 stars. But we were there for food and drinks and our experience with those items wasn't what we'd hoped for. Full disclusure, we were there 2 days after they opened, so you can take the 3-star rating and our assessment as opening week bumps, and with a grain of salt. Bump in the road one in our visit - We had a reservation, but they seated as at a table awkwardly close to the entrance...we asked to move further in at any of the other open tables (there were a lot of them) and it involved a lengthy conversation with management...we eventually got to move one table further in. Subsequent people who were seated at that first able also asked to move. Hot-top: Reserve the high tops up against the walls...less traffic-y and you'll feel like you're actually in the restaurant. Bump in the road two - I'm a vegetarian, which means I always have to check out menus in advance, and I was excited they offered several vegetarian versions of their dishes (subbing tofu as a protein). Though when looking at the printed menus, none of those items were there, and our server wasn't aware of them. So extra time was involved communicating with the kitchen to make sure we could get what we wanted. Again, the place was brand new so I assume more than a month into it, they probably have that part together. They may have fixed this, too, but the menus were actually very hard to read in the dark and were assembled with a complicated three-ring system with hard boards surrounding the menu papers, which made them really difficult to open, and me living in fear I was going to tear pages out. Really unique, but impractical design for a physical menu. Food and drinks...It's a tiki bar, so this was their chance to really win and make me forget all my troubles. I ordered the 1944 Mai Tai - The server wanted to clarify it wasn't a resort-style super-sweet Mai Tai, but one based on the original recipe. No problem! I've made the original recipe myself at home, and that's what I wanted. What I got was kind of diluted without much discernible rum flavor in it, and it was disappointing. My wife ordered the Privateer, which she liked a lot. (I had a couple sips and also thought it was good.) The manager on duty (maybe one of the owners) came by the table to talk about the cocktail menu and gave some promising details about how it was going to expand significantly. I'm definitely going to come back and see what they've done, as I deeply feel a successful Tiki Bar in Santa Clarita is what we all need. And I also appreciate what seemed like a very sincere effort on their part to make a place that's amazing, from the overall ambiance to the food. The decor is outstanding. They clearly spared no expense making the details of what you see and hear in there part of the experience. We were there for dinner and got 3 dishes suitable for our vegetarian diets...Tempura Green Beans (over-fried...not much green bean texture or flavor left), Leviathan Garden Potstickers (also very over-fried and, more of a personal preference, but I just didn't like the flavor compared to potstickers I've had at other places.), and Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu...this was really good...I could have eaten a lot more though the dish was relatively small so the value for what we got seemed low.) Again, we were there just a couple days after they opened...they clearly have put their heart and soul into the look and feel of the place...my fingers are crossed that these were just opening week-bumps which may have already been resolved, and we will definitely give it another shot with fingers crossed.

    Amazing ambiance. The Fallen Trident is a must do experience in downtown Newhall. The sultry surroundings of the sunken ship themed dining room are well apportioned. It is evident that a lot went into the planning and execution of the reworking of this space. From the lantern fish glass buoy lamps to the wooden plank covered wall there is a lot to take in. Laci gave us great service. She checked back with us several times throughout our experience without being a bother. She wore a smile and was witty. The food runners delivered our items in an extremely quick manner and all items were as ordered. Food was tasty and well presented. Crab Rangoon actually had great flavor and you can taste the crab. Coconut Shrimp was good as well. The deviled eggs were the best appetizer we had. Very yummy. The pineapple rice with pork belly was very good and presented in a ring of pineapple. Drinks were presented in tiki glasses with beautiful garnishes. We tried several beverages each with its own unique character and flavor palate. Overall a great evening. We will be back.

    This place was exactly what this area needed. Something fun. Something different. The ambiance was fun. The drinks were great. Good was fabulous. We had the Mai Tai and Lrr Lrr for cocktails. They said they were the two most popular drinks and they were both great. And we shared the pot stickers which were great. The sauce was tangy and a great compliment to the pot stickers. Very good. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back!

    We had more mint and lime than drink

    I am only giving these stars to all of the staff at The Fallen Trident and Pocock Public Brewing House. They were trying their best but this is definitely a management/ownership issue!!! This review is for both establishments as they seem to be entwined in the same building. Much chaos on who could enter, who had reservations for which place, and who could not go into the elevator. Definitely due to overlap of this place. With that said...we were excited about a Tiki joint in SCV as the valley is full of chains. The Fallen Trident...a new Tiki place that will only take reservations. I finally got a reservation at 10:30 pm on a Saturday. We entered. Not impressive. Small, cheap "Tiki" decor. Okay. Let's look at the drink and dinner menu. Seemed enticing and was looking forward to trying the fare. We were seated at a table but were immediately told the kitchen was closed and we could only order drinks. So why did I set a reservation and was seated at a table if drinks were the only option? The bar was empty and we could have walked in hours ago for a cocktail and ate elsewhere. It made no sense! Pretentious! The drinks....ummmm.....wont return. So much ice, mint, lime, etc that you actually only get a shot of the Tiki drink you asked for $14-22 each. We can't review any food as we weren't given that option from 8pm-10:30pm at either place. Nope....will travel farther into LA and SFV for better experiences!

    Overall this place is a fun spot in Newhall. From the moment I walked in it smelled like the ocean and definitely went along with the theme. The staff was great, very helpful and attentive. We sat at the bar and ordered a bunch of appetizers. The food was good, it didn't stand out as the best food ever but I enjoyed the meal. My only complaint was it was very hard to get a reservation and they don't allow walk ups but when we got there over half of the restaurant sat empty. I'm not sure if they don't have enough staff to fill all the tables but it seemed strange.

    1944 Mai Tai
    Sarah E.

    Checked this place out after seeing it show up online. Love the decor. Super cool vibe. There's a story behind it which I like. (Don't recall seeing that at other tiki bars) Only down side for the decore is where we were sitting I ended up with my back to most of it (we were by the door) I had to turn around to really see it everything, so for me it was harder to feel fully immersed. Other tables however were more in and would have a better view of it all. We got a couple drinks each. I started with the navy grog. If you don't like strong drinks I'd pass on this one. It's not playing. Good, but definitely a sipper. (I'm no light weight and it took me some time to finish and started getting me buzzed) Next up was the 1944 mai tai. Good, but not your modern day fruity mai tai. So if that's what you're looking for, I'd try another fruity cocktail they offer. Waitress was attentive and checked on very regularly. Over all I liked it and would go again (but probably go for a high top or bar seat next time to be more in it.)

    Amazing drinks. Would like to see some cool tiki cups like the water came in.

    Good food, good drinks, good vibes, good service! Wish I could link my reel! You feel like you're under the sea and they have videos playing through the portholes to help with that illusion. They keep it very dark and very vibey. Food was delicious, though the dessert maybe didn't burn all the rum off lol

    Pork belly
    Debbie D.

    Had several of the appetizers, they were all fantastic. Ahi nachos, potstickers, deviled eggs ( yum) , pork belly, shishito peppers with edamame, and spam musuvi . Definitely enough to share for our party of 6. Favorite cocktails were the pain killer and the lurr lurr. Ambiance was true to a pirate tiki experience. Highly recommend and look forward to returning soon.

    Shishito peppers and edamame.

    I very much enjoyed my time at the Fallen Trident this weekend. Service impeccable. Open 5 weeks. Atmosphere tiki. Not overly saturated, I liked the details with the barnacles on the back of the chairs, the decorated walls and ceiling, and lamps. It looked like the inside of a ship with portholes which I thought was super cool. There were also "monster fish skulls" along the walls. Neat. Music: some Exotica, some classical, some Austin Powers. I'm more of a purist and like to hear only Tikiesque music in that setting, but they are adhering to the mixed, local crowd as well. Can't fault them for that. The music was a nice touch either way. Sashimi peppers were good. I liked that they mixed them with edamame and garlic. I'm used to a little more searing but it was still tasty. I did add salt though, which was an easy fix. Mai Tai was proper. Not too complex, a little dry. Possibly needs a tad more orgeat for balance. By the way the only juice in an original 1944 Mai Tai is lime. For the people who might used to more of a resort style Mai Tai, the good news is the owner said they will be adding one to the menu soon. It will be similar to the fruity versions, and I believe he said it would have a float. Although I was two drinks in and the drinks are stiff so don't quote me on that. Definitely money will spent. The Zombie was decent, balanced and not too sweet. The cinnamon stick garnish was a nice touch. I gave them a suggestion to light the cinnamon stick on fire, and they said they are working on a new drink with a lit stick! For now I wouldn't try to pop in without a reservation, they get busy.

    Great new themed bar! Feel lucky to have this in Santa Clarita! Food was really good. Great sear(?) and flavor on the pork belly. Drinks were good too and decor is really fun. Love the sunken cave ship vibe! Staff was very nice and attentive. We'll be back.

It's smaller than I expected with more outdoor seating than indoor, so be aware during summer time and I'd recommend mosquito repellent!

We loved the indoor tiki decor and thought the whole vibe of the place was so cute and charming and we did appreciate some of the other customers who dressed up in Tiki style clothing as well.

We were ready to walk out, but our drinks finally arrived. I suggested we ask for the check sooner than later, considering how long it took to get our drinks. (Others who arrived after us did not seem to have to wait as long as we did.) Moments later, the vibe completely turned around when the bartender blew a conch shell to award a patron a Ventiki fez, accomplished after drinking all 60 cocktails on their in-house passport. That energy really helped recapture any aloha we felt upon arriving and we ended up staying for hours and chatting with staff. The place redeemed itself. We promised to return with some friends shortly who were driving through Ventura. We stepped out to grab coffee while waiting for our friends to arrive. We were excited to show them this place. When our friends got there around 4pm, they received an incredibly cold greeting at the entrance. They sent us a text and we told them we were a block away having just picked up a coffee and heading their way. When we all arrived together, a bouncer was at the front stand, boorish and inhospitable... his immediate attitude was downright insulting. (He wasn't around when we were there earlier.) He had previously refused to seat our friends at a table for four--even though we were just a block away--demanded we throw away our coffees, and asked us for ID. (My husband and I are in our late 50s/early 60s, and friends late 40s.) We literally had just been there for a couple hours and spent a good amount of money. Sure, I understand places have policies, but this attitude was COMPLETELY different than when we were there earlier. The bouncer was a self-important jerk about the whole thing. We went from giving them a second chance after they rekindled the aloha spirit to being completely turned off by the bouncer's egomaniacal attitude. Again, 4pm Sunday, no line or anything. Not some nightclub. Utterly unnecessary brute at the front. Rude and completely uninviting customer service. We ended up going down the street to a local brewpub that welcomed us, no attitude, no carding, and they didn't bat an eye at our coffee cups. AND when we parted ways with our friends, they told us they swung by Ventiki to talk to the manager. The manager told them she supports her bouncer and was unapologetic. If there was a society for tiki lounges with a membership card, this place should have their card revoked. They are not worthy. Tearing up the fez passport I started and will never set foot in there again.

She is friendly and genuinely fun to talk to. And she makes the BEST Chupacabra drink! Seriously, if you go, ask for Monica and have her make you one. She absolutely nailed it. Great drinks, amazing energy, and even better service. Highly recommend Broken Compass, and especially Monica! We'll definitely be back.

The secret entrance is a ton of fun and the ambience is dark and mysterious and transports you to a land far away, all while not leaving LA. The drinks are spectacularly delicious and innovative. There is a theme (and entire experience) to each drink. The food is likewise excellent. The hot dogs from Tail o'the Pup are some of the best in the city and you can order directly from the downstairs hot spot, or order from the tailored menu to fit the tiki theme. The wait staff was super attentive. This is a great date spot or somewhere to come with friends. Just remember to book your reservations on Resy and then check the website for knowledge on how to get into the secret entrance. This is a top experience in LA!

    This has become one of our go to spots before going out to Pantages for our season tickets--enough…read morethat the bartenders called us regulars last time. I love a tiki bar (usually a wine drinker, but a dry martini or a good tiki drink, will speak to me at times!) and this place does not disappoint. Service is easy and the vibes are so fun. They have fun gimmicky drinks (Captain's Inner Circle!) and the old stand bys (exceptional Mai Thai.) The decor is also so fun (Jim Morrison's old studio) and you can order hot dogs from downstairs. Only reason they aren't 5 stars? They implement seating time limits, even when it's not super busy. I 100% understand they have to have turnover, but I would gladly pay a little extra, to hold a longer reservation! Street parking, but don't drive...get a driver or a Waymo!

    10 1/4 is a hidden cocktail bar located underneath Freddie's 35er, a popular Dodgers bar. To get…read morehere, not only do you have to go to the back of The 35er and go down the stairs, you ignore the tiki bar in front of you and make an immediately right U-turn. You reach a phone booth, pick up the phone, and wait for someone to buzz you in. This bar is different from the other two bars as it's smaller, more intimate, and focused on craft cocktails. On nights and weekends though, it can still get busy. We ordered a variety of drinks and liked the menta milk punch ($18), last word ($18), and queen's park swizzle ($16). This was my first time here and I would be interested in coming back and also check out the tiki bar too. This is a cool place to go as part of your bar hopping in Old Town Pasadena.

Walk inside and pick up the phone, and when the person on the other end answers, let them know how many in your party. Then the side wall of the phone both will open and you walk in to the speakeasy. Seating is limited, so get there early on the weekend, or go during the week and it's probably better. Craft cocktails are the name of the game, and it looks like a fully stocked bar, so if the menu doesn't appeal to you, you can order of menu as well. The mixologist were great, good usually and it's a fun environment. If you're in Pasadena, grab a drink and watch a game at the 35er, then head downstairs, through the phone both, and enjoy this ittle gem.
