    pina coladas and lava flow
    Terri S.

    Their drinks here are super delicious and sweet! That's definitely a controversial opinion lol but I love sweet drinks. The lava flow drink was so yummy and i love the red flavored swirl. My girls got the pina coladas and you can't go wrong with that. The drinks came in super adorable cups and each drink came with a pineapple. The vibes are chill here and the bartenders are all so kind!!

    Their signature Jungle Bird (unbalanced and bland)
    Ian C.

    Honestly, the drinks are not very tasty or complex. The food as well was very bland, the pu pu platter tastes like a bunch of previously frozen food items thrown in a fryer for $30. The price point for food and drinks did not match the taste or quality to justify it. A friend and I were having a decent time until the main bartender (white female with tattoos) had a horrible attitude and was literally rolling her eyes every time she was asked a question or had to actually work. She was eavesdropping on our conversation and rolling her eyes at us trying to enjoy our time. Unbelievable. Not the vibe you want at a Tiki bar spending $100+. I do want to mention that the other women who were working at the bar were very kind and hospitable, but the one main bartender ruined the entire experience. Doubt I will ever be back. Seriously, DO BETTER!

    Alright, at this point I'm a full blown tiki bar nerd, and made a special visit to Sacramento just to check out Jungle Bird. I had what I would call an "ok" first time. First with the decorations and ambiance, it's pretty great, very tiki, very well thought out. Loved checking out the mug collection and all the stuff on the walls. The food, decent for a bar that's for sure. The pupu platter was fun, and the Pork Belly Bao was actually spot on. The Bahn Mi fries had killer flavor, but the fries were wildly too soggy. Could be a one off, if I go back again I'll make to request extra crispy fries to work with all those toppings. The Kahlua Pork, we did not like, very salty, not much else goin on. Now the drinks, the Plankwalker itself, is a fantastic cocktail and Jungle Bird really knocks it out of the park with that one. Everything else though, just fine. Very very sweet, and the spirit doesn't really shine through in any of them. We navigated most of the menu and really just felt like the drink program could use some work. Service, so we started at the bar up front and hung out for about 30 minutes before our table reservation time. This was fine, our first bartender was quite friendly, but the second one not so much after the bar got a bit busier. Now onto the table service, honestly it was awful. It's not really at fault of our server, his section was just absolutely way too big and he was balancing a party outside at the same time. This is just bad staffing and planning though because we were really neglected the entire time. We would have stayed longer but once we got to the table it just kept going downhill. Piles of stuff left on the table, way too long I between even seeing him, extended waits to get drinks, waters being left empty. That wasn't a great experience. All in all I probably would go back and give it another try if I'm in the area, but won't be going out of my way for it. Another weird thing to tack on, I'd been following Jungle Bird's instagram and had my eyes on a couple things they had posted, one even that same day. Once I asked the waitress about the drinks on instagram and even the swizzles in them, she said "oh we haven't had those for years, or those drinks, must be old photos." It's kinda lame to be posting pictures and merch of stuff that you haven't had for years, it's a bit misleading. If you have no new pictures to post of your drinks and what not, that may be a sign that you need to refresh your drink program. ‍

    Lava Flow, The Jungle Bird, Mai Tai
    Rocky C.

    We visited The Jungle Bird in Sacramento during their Doom Birdie Bash, which had a Haunted Mansion theme. It was a really fun experience. I made a reservation the night before for 6:30 pm, and even though we showed up around 6:40, we were seated right away. We had our own table with plenty of space for the three of us. We ordered the Jungle Bird, a Lava Flow, and a Mai Tai. All three drinks were pretty good, not overly strong and not overly sweet, except the Jungle Bird. As it expected, this was strong and a little bitter. We were warned, and we thought it was good still. The Lava Flow and Mai Tai were balanced and easy to enjoy. For food, we ordered something that was like chicken fried chicken pieces over fries with an aioli sauce. It was really tasty and ended up being good enough that we ordered a second one for the table. The sauce had a little spice to it, so we asked for it on the side the second time. I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I stayed far away from that. We also ordered the deviled eggs, which were okay but really salty. You only get three eggs cut in half, and honestly, I'd say you could pass on them next time. The limited menu had a few more food options like a turkey egg and a hotdog, but those didn't speak to us tonight. Service was good. Our server filled our waters a few times and took our order quickly. The theme was on point, and I loved the tiki bar vibes. The Haunted Mansion decor was all over and really well done. The only thing I didn't love was the music being a bit loud for the space. Maybe I'm just getting old, but it was louder than I expected. Overall, it was a fun night with good drinks, solid service, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

    Love their tiki cups! So festive!

    Feeling the need for a mini mental tropical getaway during the winter holiday? Look no further than Jungle Bird Tiki Lounge for your next Santa bar crawl! They have festive holiday drinks and perfect pupus (Hawaiian for "Perfect snacks to go with drinks"!). I got a perfect strawberry daiquiri (aka lava flow) to go with coconut shrimp and spam fried rice...and it was ohhhh so perfect! The holiday vibes were full-on jolly with a mechanical Santa in his hawaiian shirt and cocktail ready to cheer you on! I gotta come back during the rest of the year to keep my aloha spirit alive! Perfect mini mental tropical vacation when you need it

    I liked the jungle bird! I thought they had a really good selection of drinks. I got the lava flow and it was super good. My friend got the Saturn and also loved her drink. The service was fantastic super quick and friendly. The ambiance is cute it's very tropical inside.

    Loved this place the energy is electric the decor is incredible it's like a light show!! Everyone is super nice and friendly drinks were incredible not just in taste but visually everything was on tiki bar theme Will have to come back here again on a busier night!!

    Mushroom Miso Buddha Bowl + Sriracha Mac Salad
    Hadassah D.

    The vibes were fun here and everyone in the restaurant seemed to be having a great time! The server we had was really nice and really accommodating because our group was small but we arrived at varied times and ended up staying for around 3 hours. So I really thought that was cool! I tried the veggie spring rolls, the mushroom miso Buddha bowl, and the Sriracha Mac salad. All were decent, but I feel like this is the kind of place where you come for the novelty and drinks over anything else. It was well-priced as well! I like that they have a nice amount of vegetarian selections and two mocktail options for those who have alternative diets / who may not want to drink. Something to note is that tables are technically timed and they may ask you to leave if they have a lot of reservations, we got lucky that that wasn't the case for us!

    Come here for the theme/atmosphere, but not for the food. Came here on a Friday night right when they opened. Was greeted with great energy from the two at the bar and seated in a space with very minimal light... so minimal it was hard to read the menu. Knowing it's that dark, it'd be pretty cool if they offered glow-in-the-dark ink menus. Survived with the cellphone flashlight. Ordered a few cocktails and three food items. The cocktails were just okay. Sweet enough to be creepers but you could definitely taste a decent amount of alcohol. I had the Saturn and Lei'd Back. The Pau Pau Platter was mid. It's meant for two people, but honestly, one person could finish it. Each app came with 2-3 pieces. Chicken wings: dry af. Coconut shrimp: burnt taste. Egg rolls: just okay. Rangoons: more wrapper than filling. Potstickers: didn't seem fresh. The Banh Mi fries were also just okay. Fries were hot and fresh, but they were drenched in way too much sauce, which made them soggy. The flavor profile didn't really hit like a banh mi... disappointing. The winner of the night? The dole whip with rum. I'd come back just for that.

    It was so dark in the restaurant!

    My daughter turned 18 so we decided to try out a fun restaurant to celebrate! We walked in and the entry way was very reminiscent of the Tiki Room at Disneyland - very fun! We happened to be at the restaurant during Star Wars days (May the 4th be with you.) It was so dark in the restaurant it was really hard to see anything - menu, food, drinks, each other. That's not really my jam for a restaurant. We ordered drinks (2 alcoholic and one non) - Lava Flow and Don's Zombie We ordered the Chicken Katsu plate and the Fried Rice with Spam. It was good. Nothing to write home about. I don't remember the service being exceptional or terrible. We got our food in a reasonable amount of time. This restaurant is definitely for the ambiance - it's a fun environment, but not really a place to chat and catch up.

    This review is specific to the bar's annual Disney pop up "The Happiest Jungle Bird on Earth". Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Drinks: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Parking: 4/5 Theming was fantastic, drinks were on point, and the team is always the best with service. Another great year for this popup!

    First time finally getting in after a previous visit when it was too crowded--so excited to snag a spot for three at the bar! This Sacramento tiki bar totally delivered. The ambiance is spot-on, capturing that fun, tropical tiki vibe. The craft cocktails were fantastic, and the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. Bought the signature Rio glass for fun--such a great touch. Hands down recommend for a unique and lively night out! Recommend!!

    Amazing drink with dole whip and a bunch of rums

    Is this an all ages establishment, when folks are seated at the tables? Aka, can we bring our children when we go to eat and have drinks here?

    It's more of a bar vs kid-friendly spot, so I don't know. It's very small and tables are small.

    Do they have non alcoholic options?

    They not only have specific signature non-alcoholic drinks, they also have many non-alcoholic versions of their more fufu alcohol drinks which are made up of mixers and stuff.… Read more

    On a hot sacramento night, should you sit inside or outside?

    Unless they added misters I would say inside unless you're they're very late.

    Can we bring kids to eat there?

    Absolutely! But we go to 21+ when food service ends. Food service ends 10pm Sunday- Thursday and 12pm Friday/Saturday.

    Open table says they open at 5 websites says 6?

    They are open 4pm to 2 am Tuesday-Sunday

    Is the patio area dog friendly?

    Yup

    What time do they stop serving food?

    10pm Sunday-Thursday. Midnight Friday and Saturday. I work there. This is the actual truth.

    Is this a cash only bar?

    No, they take cards

    What is the parking like? Any recommendations on where to park?

    I've never had trouble. Most times either right in front or across the street. The furthest I had to park was around the corner.

    Do they offer regular beer/wine?

    Hi yes they have a small selection room of craft beer and reg domestic and wine

    Does this place have a dress code?

    No, but anything tropical is recommended!

    Do they offer Happy Hour specials?

    Yes, Mon - Fri, 4 pm to 6 pm.

    Is this place good for kids? My 2 year old LOVES themed restaurants :)

    No. This is a dark bar that opens at 4pm til about 2am. Not a place for kids. Definitely not a 2 year old.

    How far away from golden one arena?

    1.7 miles, per google maps.

You choose your cocktails ahead of time and are provided with tokens indicating your drink choice. I felt this was very efficient for the bartender to prepare for cocktail choices ahead of time. Shortly after the "show" began with a backstory of Elias Hawthorne before entering the tiki bar. I wish I could recall the gentleman's name, but I do remember Kim who was assisting him before entering, and throughout the event. Upon entering this tiki bar, you are transformed to an old era. Music from the 40s was playing (which I absolutely loved) and there is so much everywhere to look at. The experience from the very beginning to the very end was so well done and 100% interactive. The gentleman providing the entertainment was outstanding in his story telling, while the bartender and two assistants prepared the cocktails in the coolest Tiki Farm Tiki Mugs that are available for purchase. There is so much visual stimulation. lighting, effects, talking tikis and excellent cocktails. The guests were fully engaged in the story and games, and it was just the right amount of time for this interactive show. The entire staff worked so well together and were engaging and provided excellent customer service. We had eaten prior to the event, so I cannot speak to the food, but it came out quickly and other guests appeared to be enjoying the appetizers. We ended up purchasing three tiki mugs and a RSVLT shirt after the show. Overall we had a wonderful time, and I recommend this adventure for a date night, girl's night or work team building event.

That said, our experience was noticeably impacted by the host. From the moment we walked in, interactions felt more focused on what we couldn't do rather than helping us feel comfortable or welcomed. I was initially told my dog wasn't allowed, which was later clarified when I explained he is a service animal, but subsequent interactions continued to feel corrective rather than hospitable. It stood out because every other staff member we interacted with was warm, social, and inviting, which made the contrast pretty stark. One practical note for future guests: if you order wine, plan to finish it there. They do not offer cork-and-carry, so splitting a bottle only really works if you're prepared to drink a good amount on-site. I'm rooting for this place and hope this feedback is helpful. With a small adjustment in front-of-house approach, this could easily be a fantastic addition to the local bar scene.
