Sticki chick
Elisa C.

My friend has been wanting me to try Tiki Chick for years and we finally went as part of her birthday week. The cutely decorated Bar serves drinks with their signature Tiki toothpick and mini umbrellas. Happy hour drinks are good and the staff is patient. Do not sleep on the food menu, the chicken sandwiches hit the spot with the cocktails. I enjoyed the pina colada a lot and only needed one. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in the city.

Cindy Lou Who Cocktail
Cara T.

I came here last week for their Grinchmas overlay. The vibes were so fun for the Holiday season and they had so many specialty cocktails, just for Grinchmas! I had the Cindy Lou Who, which came in a sparkly snowglobe cup. It was so cute and was actually very well balanced. Not too sweet at all! I also tried the Grinch margarita, and it was really great! It tasted like a prickly pear margarita and was perfectly tart. We also tried the who hash fries. They were weirdly great?! They had this like onion/apple mixture on top that was really unique. Just wish there was more of it! Overall, this holiday overlay was so fun and I hope they do it again next year! Only negative was the service was not the best. Our original server left and then the person who took over made us feel sort of rushed and unwelcome at the end of our experience. Other than that, we had a great time!

Read about the $5 food menu a while back and got reminded when a fellow yelper mentioned to try the sandwiches. So, went twice when in the area. Decorated with artificial greens and polynesian theme plus added halloween/holiday decor. The bar is centrally located. Not really drinking, so just focused on the food menu - $5 per item. A variety of sandwiches, more with fried chicken (just different toppings and sauces). Picked the one with spam and pineapple. Actually good sized sandwich and tasted alright (though I prefer spam toasted up). Chili fries were ok. Shrimp ceviche had a citrusy sweet sauce (like shrimp cocktail sauce) - I was ok tasting it that time but will pass on it. On the second visit, I complained of a chemical taste in my water. Smelled my glass and there was an odor. I was offered a replacement water but wasn't comfortable drinking from there anymore .

MANHATTAN / Upper West Side: Looking for a fun spot with tropical vibes? Tiki Chick is a fantastic tiki-themed restaurant and bar and best of all, their outdoor seating is dog friendly! We indulged in some seriously tasty sandwiches, including the vegan tikilafel (a falafel lover's dream) and the spicy volcano chick (crispy fried chicken with just the right kick of heat). Their massive tropical drink list is a vacation in itself, and the seasonal Spooky Chick cocktail menu adds a festive twist. The "Simply Meant to Be Mezcalita" is perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. Leashed, friendly pups are welcome in the colorful outdoor area, complete with covered and heated seating for comfort. There is also additional covered seating along the street, so there is plenty of space to relax, sip something tropical, and enjoy an affordable meal in a fun, laid-back atmosphere.

How the Grinch Stole Coquito $17
Vanessa A.

Merry Grinchmas! The Christmas themed decor was the draw on this visit otherwise not a place a frequent. Of course we ordered from the Grinchmas menu! I had How the Grinch Stole Coquito $17. It was very strong and very frozen so hard for me to drink. We tried The Who Hash Fries. In general I've come to the conclusion I'm really not a fan of their fries. I had the hot dog for the first time and that's an amazing deal for $5. It's massive (foot long) and loaded with chili (Spam) and cheese. I'd get this over the chicken sandwiches going forward. It was a fun experience and we were lucky it wasn't super busy on the Sunday afternoon we went!

They've solidified itself as my top 5 favorite bars in NYC. It takes away the pretentiousness and moxie of a Manhattan to create a fun, whimsical space that always leaves me beyond satisfied. The staff are angels that treated you like you just entered heaven. I suggest if you have a smaller party sit at the bar. Its tiki theme obviously- so theres a ton of extravagant cocktails. Jungle Bird and Shark Snacks are my two favorites if you want to feel like you are transported to a white sands and blue waters. Also I would I can't not forget to shoutout the bar snacks. The Tiki Fries ($5) and Pink Wave - Chicken Sandwich ($5) are delicious at an unbeatable price. One thing to be aware is that they don't have reservations so could be packed at times.

Welcome to the Most AMAZING PLACE TO VISIT...The Tiki Chick Bar on the UWS of Manhattan

The appetizers, the cocktails were full proof and not watered down, but most importantly my waitress was AWESOME-SAUCE. The best fun in a loooong time, especially having stimulating convo with strangers. The effectuating ambiance is the intoxicating energy in the background.

I had this spot saved for months, and every time I get discouraged to go there due to being little bit far from Midtown. But Let me tell you, my visit here was worth the time and the ride. Environment: It was on point, with a lot of seating a.d good music, this place is a must for brunch or catch up with a friend kind of vibe. I would note, that you might need to RSVP during high season and peak times, cause when I got there, I found a line outside. Luckily for me, my group got a table beforehand. Service: The Waitress was great she kept checking every now and then to clear the table, refill the bottle, and take in any extra/new orders we had. Food/Drink: The fact you can get a very good quality of chicken sandwich for 5$ is unbeatable, to the point I took an extra one to-go, even the size was almost the same as a regular sandwich, and the meat was the perfect size. I would note that the fries need some improvements! The Pina Colada was also a great add-on as it offered a great mix sweet and fruity taste to the drink.

Carol S.

The menu is simple, but why re-invent the wheel? Most cocktails are $14-16, but they're known for the piña colada ($15) and that's why we went on a rainy summer day. It was rated best in NYC, so I had to check it out. The cost for the cocktail, but their chicken sandwiches are a steal for $5. It's a no-brainer to get a drink and a sandwich. The hot honey chicken is my go-to but the s'tiki tiki is also yummy. Expect to wait a line if you don't have a rsvp. It's always crowded no matter the season because tiki is a vibe. The good news is that you can also order from a window to carry out.

My friends and I saw that Tiki Chick had an amazing deal for food so we stopped by on friday night to grab a quick bite and some drinks! The line was quite long but we were dedicated to try. The place was packed and people were hanging out and dancing. The tables and seating alongside the outside of the bar were more chill. We got drinks and the frozen ones were amazing! We also got multiple sandwiches since it was all $5 and it was all delicious. We will for sure be back!

Love this bar, it's one of my go-tos. Honestly, been hesitant to write this review for literally 4 years because I'd hate to blow it up and never be able to get in. But they're so great, staff, patrons, everyone, and they deserve the recognition. The $5 sandwiches are all amazing, and yes, only $5. It's your classic tiki bar, it's got very fun (very expensive) cocktails and fun cups and treats. I have never had a bad time.

Excellent bartending service and delicious cocktails to boot! Tiki Chick hosts a very fun atmosphere as well. This is a great spot for a night out, especially given the super cheap food menu! Do: Stiki Tiki, Chicken Sandwiches Don't: Shrimp Ceviche, Tikilafel Food: 4/5 Price: 5/5 Experience: 5/5

I'm going to be honest when I say I did not come here for anything besides the 5 dollar hot honey sandwich special. We arrived around 2:30 on a Friday and it was empty. The bar was completely empty (it was again 2:30) but we got 2 hot honey sandwiches to go. The service is nice. You cannot call ahead and order but their website I think takes orders. The sandwichs are 5 dollars each which is an absolute steal for nyc prices. I cannot recommend those sandwiches enough. The service was nice and kind. They let us put our bags down gave us water while we waited for our sandwiches. The bathrooms are well kept and I'm a big fan of the decor on this place. The sandwiches came out within 10ish minutes and were delightful. The hot honey with black pepper provides a great kick. I truly enjoyed it and every now and then I crave more hot honey sandwiches. I was told the other sandwiches are not as good. But 5 dollars for the hot honey sandwich is definitely a deal that I will be coming back to take advantage of. Loved it.

Can I stop by with my daughters who are not yet 21 years old? They would eat. I would eat and drink.

Under 21s are welcome before 7pm!

How would this place be for a casual first-date type place? Or is it too noisy for conversation?

I think it would be great, they do have music but you'll still be able to have a conversation and it's pretty much a bar with a small food menu so it works for a casual hang out kind of vibe.

Do you take reservations?

Yes they do. During peak hours I would recommend it.

Do you serve espresso martinis? Or your take on them?

We have our house Espresso-Tiki tini: Santa Teresa 1796 arabica Coffee Cask, Giffard Cafe du Honduras, Cynar, Cold Brew, Vanilla Bean infused Coconut Palm Sugar, Mole bitters,… 

Does this place have any happy hour on certain nights?

Don't remember seeing any happy hour specials the night I was there. I doubt it

If you love great cocktails, this hidden speakeasy is an absolute must-visit! From entering with a…read moresecret passcode to the very last sip, the entire experience is incredible. It has easily earned a spot as one of my favorite bars of all time. The underground space flawlessly captures a raw, seedy, 1980s rock 'n' roll vibe, with eclectic decor that extends beautifully to the themed menus and custom glassware. Sitting at the bar was a highlight--the bartenders were fantastic, clearly proud of their craft, and they even humorously indulged my game of trying to guess the ingredients of each drink they mixed. The cocktail lineup is phenomenal. A few absolute highlights: the Purple Rain with its purple ice and peppercorn, the flambéed Dirty Dancing, a brilliant espresso martini riff called Flick The Bean, and Pure Temptation--which has glassware you just have to see for yourself. Don't miss this place if you're in NYC!

The Woo Woo is loud and touristy--and honestly, that kind of sums it up…read more They market it as a speakeasy, which... technically yes. You need a password (easy to find online), and you go through a hidden door down a staircase. But it feels more like a novelty than anything else. NYC has way more iconic speakeasies, so this isn't somewhere I'd go out of my way for more than once. Nothing wrong with the vibe--it's Times Square, so you already know what you're getting--but it's definitely a one-and-done kind of spot. The drinks are good and super fun, but they're very extra (smoke, presentation, all that), so between that and how packed it gets, it can take a while just to get one cocktail. Didn't try the food. Overall, go for the pics and TikToks--it's perfect for that. I'd recommend checking it out once, but I don't really see it being a repeat spot.

Unfortunately, it took far too long for our waitress to come back for a second round. The place wasn't busy yet, and we repeatedly saw her standing at a service station, seemingly occupied with something (her phone?), while we sat with empty drinks for nearly 20 minutes. For my second drink, I ordered the Golden Colada. It was packed with ice, which is fine, but the glass was only about two-thirds full. You can see it in the photo (I did take one sip), but it was only filled to where the foam begins. For a $21 drink, I prefer my drinks filled, if not with alcohol, then club soda if you have to. The cocktails themselves were good, but the service really took away from the experience. If you visit, I'd recommend sitting at the bar, where you'll likely receive much better service.

Thank you, Valerie Simpson, and your late husband; Nickolas Ashford, for creating this amazing venue. The guest host for the evening was the incredibly talented Olutayo. Olutayo is joy exemplified. His vocal range, dance moves, entertaining facial expressions...infectious. I fell in love with this man and did not hesitate to tell him so. Beyond his talents was Olu's ability to manage / juggle the night's open-mic entertainers with such grace. From the lyrics of En Vogue and Salt-N-Peppa: "Whatta Man, Whatta Man, What a Mighty Good Man!" All of the entertainers were incredible. What a range of singers, dancers, a poet, a violinist. And the band! The band! The band! Come on!! Outstanding. I was seated next to Darius, one of the several background vocalists that were positioned throughout the lounge. We became fast friends in this space filled with exuberance. Darius was a delight. He was also a big brother to me, making sure no one blocked my view of the performance. Thank you, Darius, that was so kind of you. I had such a wonderful time being in the company of all these amazingly talented people. It was a 6-hour dopamine rush that should not be missed. The dinner that was served was top-notch. I had the Sea Bass. My friend had the Golden Fried Chicken. Both meals were delicious. I had the ginger mocktail with rosemary and blueberries - so yummy I had two. Dessert was key lime pie - suffer we will. Our server; Vickie, was a delight and amazing to observe as she maneuvered around the performers and kept us and everyone around us well served and continually hydrated. Vickie is to be commended for how hard she worked throughout the evening. I made sure our tip reflected our appreciation of her. Put the Sugar Bar on your bucket list when visiting NYC. You'll leave there feeling you have experienced Heaven on Earth.

The day before our dinner, I got an email, text, and telephone call to confirm our reservation. I asked if our seats were assigned to a specific table. I was told the assignments would be available the next morning. We arrived about 45 minutes before our reservation time. We were told that we could NOT go to the bar without paying the $20.00 per person door fee for the show. That night was open mic night. I was so eager to support this business because of its owners. We were also told we could NOT be seated early. We paid the money and waited. The tables in the bar area were reserved. When our reservation time arrived, in lieu of being seated where we could see the show we paid for, we were taken upstairs. I asked where the upstairs stage was located. There was NO stage. Instead, there was a 20 inch television hanging on the adjacent wall. We waited 45 minutes to watch a television upstairs away from the open mic show. I have included a picture from our vantage point. When I asked why we had not been seated in the open seats on the floor with the stage, I was told that some of the performers brought friends and our table was given to those individuals. Our money would not be refunded. I asked repeatedly why we were being moved and the hostess indicated that she did not make any decisions and the seats were going to be given to others. Those folks had not arrived and had not made any reservation. Thus, making a reservation was a waste of time. Then there was the food. I figured no one could mess up hot wings. I was wrong. The lemon pepper wings had no lemon and no pepper. It was just dropped into some butter. I had "buttered" wings. No seasoning except butter. Every member of our group remarked that the food was NOT good. I left 3/4 of the food on the plate. I was SORELY disappointed. Even sports bar have food don't string their customers along, make them wait 45 minutes, and then stash them away in heaven (i.e. upstairs). I could have watched better entertainment on Youtube. I will not be returning and I am telling everyone that I had bragged to about my upcoming birthday outing at the Sugar Bar that they should NEVER visit this place. No one cared that we were utterly disappointed with the trickery regarding the seating.
