    So my best and oldest friend was supposed to go out to dinner with me...unfortunately he has become a hardcore bar fly and wanted to meet here. Welp you gotta do what you gotta do. I have been here several times and it depresses me....zero ambiance. Zero energy...maybe it is the neighborhood. If you live around here heck grab a drink but don't go out of your way

    The blended tiki drinks here are dangerously delicious! Most tiki bars in the city don't make blended drinks, so this was such a pleasant surprise. Pricing was also very reasonable. However...the vibes were a bit uncomfortable though. The bouncer kept the front door open most of the night, so I was freezing despite being bundled in a warm puffer. I was also suffocating from the cigarette smoke coming directly from outside the door. If you don't mind the cold wind and inhaling secondhand cigarette smoke, then this place would be perfect! Note that this place doesn't actually close at 2am as stated. Everyone had to leave around 1:30am, although staff gave us a heads up around 1:20am so we had time to finish our drinks.

    Tiki bar in the sleepy sunset district. Got to give this spot and its owners flowers for creating a fun and comfortable spot to watch sports and meet up with friends. No food, but bring your own from the neighborhood, no worries Tell Terence and John hello when you go in for a fruity drink or a cold beer.

    Sort of divey tiki bar in the inner sunset. Tiki drink options were plentiful and the glassware was super fun. We ordered the Wiki waki woo and Tiki island. Each one must've had 4-5 different liquors in them, but as with most tiki drinks, all you could taste was the juice. With that being said, the drinks were super sweet/sugary tasting. Even though the liquor wasn't noticeable via flavor, it was definitely in there. Happy we stopped in for a quick drink! Not a place I'd spend a whole night, but cool to add to a bar crawl or to get your tropical drink fix.

    Wanted a drink on the way home tried this place and was delighted. Pina Colada was tasteful.

    It had been a couple of years since we were last here. Still has a welcoming atmosphere. Drinks are well-balanced; I had a Hurricane. We'll be back again soon!

    What an oversight on my part that I didn't know this pocket-size tiki bar existed in the Sunset. Jamie W. and I have been on a tiki binge lately, so new discoveries excite us. This time, however, I was on Noriega on my own, so I reported back and faced a dilemma: Should I try Tiki Haven as a solo tippler? OK, it wasn't really a dilemma. The bigger dilemma was whether I should wait fifteen minutes for the door to open at 4PM. The bartender was on time and quite friendly since I was his only customer. The decor had an appropriate castaway, surf's-up vibe with a tinge of "Gilligan's Island" grass-skirt nostalgia. The menu was a cornucopia of tropical libations that would please even the Howells with all tiki drinks priced at $13. I had the Mango Banana Colada which came in its own vintage ceramic gorilla head vessel. No parasol though. It was tantalizing with mango, banana liqueur, rum pineapple, and coconut...all my favorite flavors in one gorilla head (photo: https://bit.ly/3Db7dH7). I sat outside in their makeshift hut on the edge of the sidewalk. I found it relaxing even though school kids would saunter by staring at me drinking from the gorilla head. I just ignored them as I didn't want to give off a pedophile vibe. Now I can report back to Jamie that this bar receives the Ed U. seal of approval. COCKTAILS - 4 stars...a most satisfying tropical delight in a gorilla head AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...they've got the tiki vibe right SERVICE - 4.5 stars...friendly guy TOTAL - 4 stars...yep, it's a tiki haven alright RELATED - Looking for a tiki bar?

    This bar has the word 'tiki' in its name but it's more like a neighborhood bar with tiki drinks and decor. I saw a lot of regulars and people who knew each other, and those people were drinking beer and shots and not the tiki drinks from the menu. Also, the music was hip hop and rap and not the kind that makes you feel like you're on a tropical island. We ordered a variety of drinks throughout the night: zombie, mango banana colada, tiki blossom, peach on the beach, mai tai, and pink flamingo. The zombie and mai tai drinks (the ones I ordered) were very strong and you can really taste the alcohol. They were okay but not as good as other ones I've had elsewhere. The other drinks were sweeter and easier to drink. Our favorite drink was the peach on the beach which tasted like the white gummy drink from Jamba Juice. It seemed like drinks were either very sweet or very strong with no in-between. All the tiki drinks are $13 which is straightforward. It's a small space and a lot of people were standing and you might have to do the same. They don't serve food but there's a vending machine with snacks if you need. We came at around 10:30pm on a Friday night and it was busy but after about 11pm it was pretty empty. If you're expecting a fully immersive tiki bar with all those bells and whistles, this place is (mostly) not it. However, it was still a fun place to hang out and we ended up spending 3 hours here so we definitely had a good time.

    It was our first time at Tiki Haven and I don't know why we haven't been here before! I love the tiki motif, the large screens with multiple sports games on, the juke box playing oldies and the delicious stiff drinks! The bartender makes great strong drinks. He's very personable and efficient. Patrons buy him drinks and toast him. The bouncer/guard Clark is friendly, does a great job, is a fellow martial artist and I like his armor. There is an old school Buck Hunt shooting game that is fun. There is a table top electronic poker game. The customers are friendly, welcoming and everyone has a good time. There were 3-4 people dancing to ABBA's Dancing Queen by the juke box. I really like the vibe and definitely will return. I'm glad we found this hidden gem.

    We are tiki bar lovers and have made it a goal to go to every tiki bar in SF. However, we found this to be more of a sports bar with a few tiki themed items. Not as hardcore as some of our other faves. There was a comedy show happening in the outdoor area. We didn't have tickets but could have listened in if we really tried. THE COST Total $33 for two drinks. THE DRINKS * Mango Banana Colada ($13) - 2 stars Too much banana for me! Overwhelming and too sweet, and I like sweet! * Kokomo ($13) - 3 stars Much more my jam than the Mango Banana. Tasty and not too strong.

    How come I never knew about this place? I know the Outer Sunset, and the Inner Sunset.. but missed the cool little Middle Sunset neighborhood! Walked by here and just had to check it out! Unpretentious neighborhood dive bar w/ tiki decor! Had a delicious blended drink w/ dark AND light rum! Very nice bartender, and a regular asked if I minded before they turned on the football game.

Once I walked in it felt like another world - bar stool was (looked like) an airplane seat and the interior was very dim. It gives Halloween/tiki/amazon rainforest vibe. Bartenders were really friendly and checked on us couple times. We got the last rite and kalimaa's doom and we liked our drinks. I liked how the smell of the drinks play a part of the experience- for the last rite drink- the burning smell of cinnamon stick (?) gave more smokiness when consuming the drink and the perfectly roasted smores in Kalima's s doom added sweetness and brioche to the senses. The watermelon was very refreshing. Good job! I will be back!

    Really bad. Horrible service and awful drinks. The worst tiki bar among the ~6 I've visited in SF…read more Two of us walked in and stood at a high top. Within 15 seconds an officious waiter ushered us to the end of a long table, even though there were many doubles open. 20 minutes later a wedding party came in and jammed themselves into the other end of the table, but all the doubles had filled by then. The waiter was nowhere to be seen by then, even as we were literally being pushed out. The wedding party received a ton of help figuring out their drink orders, but the waiter ignored multiple requests from us to close us out and return our card. Confusing, because I had assumed there was a common goal of getting us to leave. We ended up getting our tab closed at the bar. Drinks were incredibly weak and mid. I'd estimate that the standard spirit serving is a half pour here. My old fashioned (it has some other name on the menu) was half the glass and tasted watery. My partner ordered a frozen drink and it was served in a champagne glass, and so I assume it was 80% water since ice has a larger volume than liquid water. Decor is a cool idea, it's an island plane crash with LOST vibes. But not interesting enough to save this dreadful experience.

Step inside and you are instantly transported onto a wooden shipwreck, which eventually opens up into a magnificent, starlit back room complete with private tiki huts, ambient rainforest sounds, and a smoking, "erupting" volcano. The true highlight of this escape is that the bar serves amazing, authentic tiki cocktails, masterfully crafted by a heavy-handed bar staff that includes veterans of SF's most historic cocktail lounges. From flawlessly balanced classics like the Mai Tai to creative original rum blends served with theatrical fire flare or inside hollowed-out pineapples, the drink menu is top-tier. The only catch is that the venue's spectacular design makes it highly popular, meaning the space is relatively small upfront and can get intensely busy with shoulder-to-shoulder crowds during the post-work rush. If you don't mind navigating a lively line at the bar to secure your tropical drink, it stands out as a premier destination for high-quality mixology and sheer entertainment value. Tip: Bartenders will give you the background of any famous tiki drink that you order. Thanks
