Tiny Tiki is still alive and well! I was a little confused at first as there haven't been recent reviews or social media updates, so I wasn't sure if it had permanently closed. But it's open, recently moved, and absolutely worth visiting. It's a tiki-themed bar serving my kind of drinks -- boozy and tropical. I only tried two this time, but I'll definitely be back to sample more. On a Friday night, there was live music, good vibes, and bartenders who genuinely looked like they were having fun. And the mayor was there??? read more

This is exactly what the name says, a very tiny tiki bar! Even on a Thursday night, it was packed with barely any room to sit. With that said, this place is great! So relaxing with the tropical feel and a great place to go if you are just looking to hang out with friends. Perfect for a night where you are looking to have a chill evening without any crazy rowdy music. Only thing is that this bar is in a very sketchy part of town, so be careful and don't go by yourself! read more

I'm so in love with this little Tiki lounge. Such a great atmosphere-a lot of attention to detail. Excellent drink list as well as beer in cans and on tap. The Tradewind and Chi Chi were refreshing. Our bartender was the best. You should add this to your list of places to visit in Spokane! read more

Very clever little spot here in the Spo. I love the space. It is definitely tiny. The vibes are all sorts of fun and vibrant in here. From the decor, to the lighting, to the menu, to the drinks...all of it is awesome! Tasty mai tais, and pina coladas, and all things vacay in your mouth! Super cozy and such a tropical feel that you have to appreciate in the winter that is for sure. The commitment to bringing the tropical vibes is so awesome, I am really a fan! It is a super cute addition to our little city. read more

Tiny is right. It definitely felt polynesian. Great vibe and music. The drinks not so much... they were like gasoline. No flavor, just alcohol. I couldn't finish first drink the Jungle Bird. I opted to try another drink the Painkiller. It was not sweet at all. I may try again cause I loved hanging out in there. read more

The tiny tiki embodies its name in the most wonderful of fashions. It's small... maybe 15 people at most should be in here at any one time. The compact bar allows room for only one bartender at a time, and they are busy concocting artful cocktails...so order, and canoodle with your sweetie in one of the cosy vignettes. Decked in vintage South Pacific kitsch straight out of your grandparents honeymoon trip to vintage 1950's Waikiki. Teal, bamboo, silk florals, mood lighting and mood music round out the experience. Get the coldest freshest mai tai you ever mai-tried when they use the nitro. Even the straws are special and we ended up taking them home to use again. Go on a mini south seas vacation and try the Tiny Tiki. read more

Epic mic drop of a bar open from former Bartlett bartender and Super Sparkle band member Claire Fieberg. Total commitment to theme. Would be appropriate to wear beach wear, or your Hawaiian prints if you so choose. Noticed small photo of Elvis on a surfboard and felt very pleased. Loved the musical vibes. Ambiance is totally unique to Spokane. Would recommend for groups of 2-4 and date night as space accommodates those size groups the best. A must stop for your Spokane evening, especially if you enjoy rum and coconut flavors! read more

Are you looking to escape, yet not in the mood to drive? Your next tropical vacation awaits! The decor is so authentic seeming, the indoor palms blow in the breeze and boom your in a carribean hut! The atmosphere delivers as do the cocktails which have been carefully crafted by a knowledgeable owner who is passionate about her skill. I would highly recommend the painkiller and also the le croix cocktail, which were balanced and deadly ( no alcoholic burn like a good tiki drink should be). Spokane was long overdue for a joint like this. :) read more

This is a cool little place on Second Avenue. It has a tiki theme as the name suggests. It has rum and tropical drinks. No real food except goldfish crackers. The decor is great and the service has always been great when I have been there. If you like rum and tropical drinks it is definitely a place you should visit. The only downside is the part of town (definitely transitional and may not be the safest area late at night) and the fact that they open at 6 even on Friday. Many people like to meet for a drink earlier on Friday like 4:30/5 and this place doesn't open until 6. It's not like there is a neighborhood to enjoy before it opens as all the other businesses close at 5:30 and there are quite a few transients around so there isn't anywhere to hang out and wait till it opens. Other than these drawbacks its a great place! read more

The service was good but honestly the drinks really left something to be desired. Also, it's really tiny and only one bartender. When we were there (a group of about 8) we basically filled the place up. Another group of 10-12 came in and it was overcrowded and the bartender just couldn't keep up with everything. She had a great personality and was wonderfully friendly though. read more

This is a great bar! Drinks are at various price points so anyone can go: the $2 beers are eye-catching for sure. The decorations are dope and the dedication to adhering to the tiki theme couldn't be higher! Love the colors, the music, and be vibe in general. This bar is in a sketchy area, though, so don't walk there and especially don't leave alone after you've had a drink or two. Service is personable and I've already told multiple friends to try the Tiny Tiki out! :) read more

We went here right after they opened and had fantastic drinks. They were strong and slightly sweet and overall exactly what you'd hope for at a Tiki bar. I subsequently recommended this place to numerous people. Well, we went again last night (about a year and a half after our first visit) and between the four people in our party we ordered 4 different drinks across the sweetness scale (there's an actual sweet scale under each drink on the menu). They were all so sour that they were undrinkable. And we aren't a group who typically like sweet drinks. I don't know if it was just the bartender or an actual change of recipes, but the dominant flavor in all of the drinks was lemon juice. They were absolutely awful. I'm crossing my finger that it was just a bad night. The decor and ambiance is so cute and fun and hasn't changed and is why I gave two stars instead of one. I'll update my review after my next visit. read more

Cease & Desist Book Club feels like the kind of place you discover once and immediately want to…read morebring people back to. The whole atmosphere is dark, cozy, moody, and feels more like a hidden lounge than a typical downtown bar. Between the lighting, music, books, and dramatic cocktail menus, the vibe alone makes the place worth visiting. We tried the espresso martini, Painkiller, and Bloody Verde. The espresso martini was smooth and easy to drink without being overly sweet, and the Painkiller had that creamy tropical flavor that somehow still worked with the darker speakeasy atmosphere. Keeping it honest though, the Bloody Verde just wasn't for me personally. I can still appreciate the creativity behind it, but the flavor combo just didn't match my taste buds. That being said, if you like savory spicy cocktails, you'd probably feel very differently about it. Service was friendly, drinks came out looking great, and the music really tied the whole experience together. Definitely feels like one of Spokane's more unique cocktail spots if you want something moodier and more relaxed.

The atmosphere was really enjoyable -- the space has a great vibe, the drinks were well made, and overall it feels like somewhere that could become a favorite spot downtown. The food was decent as well, though not especially memorable. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the positives. From the moment we walked in, we felt more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests. The host greeted us while remaining seated at the bar and simply told us to "sit anywhere," which immediately set an odd tone. When I asked for paper menus, I was told they only use QR codes. Normally that wouldn't be a huge issue, but the menu was around 15 pages long with tiny font, making it frustrating to navigate on a phone. Once our food arrived, we essentially never saw our server again. No check-ins, no refill offers, no asking if we wanted another round of drinks -- nothing. Meanwhile, staff members were gathered at the bar loudly talking among themselves and openly complaining about being there, which was uncomfortable to listen to as customers trying to enjoy a night out. Eventually, we had to walk up to the front bar ourselves just to pay our bill. That was the most disappointing part because the restaurant truly has the foundation to be excellent. The ambiance and drinks are already there, but hospitality matters just as much as the food. A little attentiveness and genuine customer service would have completely changed the experience. We absolutely would have ordered more drinks and likely stayed longer if anyone had checked on us. Hopefully management takes service more seriously, because this place could be great with the right staff culture and attention to guests.
