The crowd and the drinks are best described as South Padre during spring break. Interpret as you wish........

Drinks are good! I only dislike you have to order at the bar all the time. No table service. It would be nice if they added appetizers for happy hour. read more

Tikilas was wonderful! We came here reading mixed reviews on Yelp but I would suggest this spot. Some of the negative reviews were about service, we had a wonderful experience. Raul was our bartender and he took great care of us, explained Happy Hour (Monday- Friday 3-7) and their Happy Meal (beer and a shot of whisky or tequila...white claw included!) very well. When we got our tab, HH deals were already priced to include taxes - 2 margaritas, 2 Happy Meals all for 24$. They had 3 different patios, cabanas and an indoor spot - perfect place for a sunny day. read more

PUT THE DRESS CODE POLICY ON YOUR WEBSITE. Drove 30 min to be denied entry cause of my crocs. Really lmao. Make it known about the dress code so we don't waste time and spend money on parking. Casual attire doesn't do much of explaining. read more

This is a really cute place, good drinks. The only downfall is the staff. One of the bartenders admitted to up charging and her attitude was very nasty. I'll be back, but hopefully there's a different staff. read more

Would leave 0 star if possible. My husband an I walked in and were asked to change shoes after purchasing drinks because they had a "dress code". Although almost everyone was wearing sandals or open shoes we were told crocs we not allowed because they were "house wear". Never returning! read more

I've gone a few times and the vive does not disappoint. Went on steak night, OMG so good. I would rate it a higher star but I went on sunday for drinks and it was a bust. Our bartender was not good at all. We asked for a Mai Tai and she told us that they didnt have the ingredients to make it but this is a tiki bar... ok. Anyways ordered something else it was ok kinda sweet. Couple next to me asked the male bartender for a Mai Tai and guess what that's what they got. Anywho asked for a long island thinking that should be better, again too sweet. The previous times I've been there we did not have any issues with the drinks. Wish it was consistent. May or may not be returning. read more

Visited this place for the first time on Monday with a friend. I was pleasantly surprised to find this place empty on a game night. The place is very cute. Sand on the floor outside, swings, lots of seating space, and stylish decor. Overall a very "instagrammable" place. Drinks are a little pricey as expected but worth the money since they poured heavy on all drinkf. I ordered margarita on the rocks and the diablo cocktail (highly recommend it) and they were both very good. I'd give this place 5 stars but service was a miss. It wasn't that busy, yet the bartenders weren't fully attentive. I noticed people would wait around for a while trying to get their attention when really there was no more than 20 people in the entire place. We were sitting at the bar top and had to ask for every refill, sometimes twice because they would forget. Aside from that, all the drinks we ordered were made to perfection. I'd definitely come back, maybe during the day to enjoy the patio in sunlight! read more

Place was popping and the drink are flowing. Shout out to Ashton for taking care of me and the general manger Kristen for the great night. Parking in the back and tequila in the front haha. read more

One of my favorite bars in the heights. The margaritas are delicious. The bartenders are very friendly. The patio area is ridiculously cute! Couldn't ask for more at a bar! read more

Honestly if you're looking up this place on Yelp, listen to the people that say the bartenders are rude. I would only give one star for the swings. read more

Looks nice, abundant parking (if not well marked), pleasant place to have a date. But the premade mojito at happy hour was almost undrinkable. Plus it was empty. Maybe it's more lively in the summer or during prime time? read more

Cute spot to grab a drink. Tiki bar theme with good cocktails and great spots to snap cute pics with the girls or watch the game with the boys. read more

I really like this place. It's cute and the restroom was clean. The drinks were worth $10 each. I had a Margarita and it had me feeling nice! I believe you can bring your own food as I saw others did. We will remember that for next time. read more

Place is super cool. Heard nothing but good things. Glad I came and checked it out. Has it all!

this drink is called the Tiki Torch. it's lit on fire but tastes sweet but refreshing! read more

Parking here is tough if you dont get lucky with the valet. We asked the bartender for some palomas and they were not good at all. They move so fast to get to everyone that the quality of the drinks suffers. Prices are not bad but I guess you get what you pay for. read more

I recently discovered this hidden gem and absolutely loved it. Service could be better, but the live music and vibe were on point! Next time I would just order food from the food truck outside! read more

Great place. Staff is helpful, drinks are great, food is good. And there's games! I would recommend this for a first date.

The bartender with black hair and glasses is so incredible rude. she wasnt nice to us unless were buying something expensive. and they automatically charge you 20% grat right off the bat. If you're coming for cheap shots, this is not the place for you. They don't even use the right liquor for what you ask for. We asked for a washington apple with crown apple, and they gave us jim beam instead. Have a good night by going somewhere else. read more

Nice atmosphere, nice people, decent service. But the "premade margaritas and mojito's are a guaranteed recipe for a hangover. You do have to wait a while for a real drink but you will thank yourself the next day. read more

Drinks are average. The aesthetic of of this place was great, but the music completely killed it!!!!! My friends & I tried it out for the first time and loved the swing idea but after a while the music was just putting us to sleep which killed our whole mood. Food is served outside establishment at a food truck. Wouldn't come again unless there was a better playlist. read more

My wife and I made a visit to Tikilas on Thursday, Feb 20th seeing as we drive by everyday and were excited to try the new local hot spot. Upon walking in we were delighted by the décor, the music choice was exhilarating, and the drink selections were a refreshing twist on classic recipes. Overall we enjoyed our visit and had even shared on social media to invite friends over for a night out whenever they found themselves in the neighborhood again. It wasn't until the next morning my wife noticed her cardholder was misplaced, and did a minute sweep of our home to find it. When it didn't come up, we figured it must've been left behind at the bar, but seeing as we had a very busy schedule for the day we couldn't make the visit to check until the following day, Saturday 22nd, at 3pm. Seeing as the weather was ideal, she was able to access the bar from outside with one of the garage doors having been opened and waited until the bartender could attend her, claiming she had no access to the safe but would relay the information for when the manager returned. My wife left her information with the bartender and left. When there was no returned call, she went in the next day at 3pm again for any update on whether or not the wallet was found. She was turned away immediately with the claim that no wallet had been turned in. It is now Thursday, Feb 27th, and after tearing apart both our car and home again, she gave another futile effort to visit the bar one last time before the bar closed at midnight. She came back shaking with her eyes reddened from crying, holding the wallet out. It wasn't even in the safe, the current bartender for the night told her it was just sitting on a desk or shelf in the back room. When he asked her why she hadn't called, she informed him the current number posted online is disconnected. I am so disappointed in the fact that it took her three tries to be able to get someone to even check for her wallet thoroughly, much to our distress at having to get everything canceled and renewed. We loved the place with it's eccentric atmosphere and appealing drink selection, but we're conflicted by the fact that the daytime staff is incompetent at executing a minuscule task that would've provided a world of relief. read more

They have a great happy hour. $3 craft beers, $5 margs. It has a great tropical vibe. There are swings, and plenty of them! There is ample outdoor seating. It was super cute and I will be back. read more

Very millennial tiki bar with cute decorations and good drinks. Would recommend the Diablo if you enjoy spicy drinks.

I came here when it was an ice house. Nice to see an open atmosphere, plenty of parking, and a great decor. I will for sure come here again.

Cool place! Music, Food and drinks were great. We had a great time on a Wednesday night!!

Beautiful place, would be a nice spot to have drinks and hangout with friends. It's a shame that the female bartender with tattoos is beyond rude and with no matter at the moment to talk to customers. Thumbs down for that! read more

I do like this place. It is a nice atmosphere, beautiful and relaxing back patio, and the inside is very nice looking. The staff are friendly and the music is good. I will definitely be back! read more

Super cute tiki bar with a great vibe! We had 2 different specialty cocktails that were reasonably priced and came with a show! They have plenty of food options, so come hungry! We didn't realize they had 3 food trucks/stands so we ate prior to coming out. read more

This is a great place to go with friends. There is not much seating so I suggest getting there early if you're going on a nice weather day. You won't have a good time if you're watching/waiting for someone to get up so you can sit. We were waiting for a table for 2 to open up for about 25 mins and got there around 3:30. 3 other friends joined and luckily we were able to find a bigger table later on. The food is also amazing. The boil platter looked like heaven but we opted for less food and got a pound of boiled shrimp. I saw that some tables were reserved and didn't realize that was an option. I will call next time we have a group and see if reserving a table is available. read more

Do not eat the popcorn! I saw one employee putting his whole uncovered hands on the popcorn, with absolutely no regard to hygiene.

They need to add on their IG page that they charge 250.00 to sit out on their patio. If you can't pay 250.00 join the rest of the crowd in the bar, trying to find a seat. read more

This place is so cute and has great parking too. We had a terrible bartender though. We were there to drink and he definitely wasn't interested in encouraging us. We started out with a frozen Mojito and a miller light because they don't have Coors light. We got ready to have a 2nd drink and they had run out of miller light (they had one) and then he said they're out of Bud Light all over town. Hmm.....no Lone Star either. Obviously, we left and went down the road to another bar which doesn't serve Coors light, but they had plenty of Bud Light. Our bar tab was $85 at the next bar. read more

If you like coked up and rude bartenders this is the spot for you. Bad service and horrible drinks. Ordered and old fashioned and got a sugary cinnamon whiskey on the rocks. P.s the bartender with the long slicked back hair.... get some help, you definitely need it buddy, I'm sure people don't notice all the times you take your "restroom breaks" and come back with a runny nose talking shit to people. read more

How are you tiki bar and you don't know how to make Mai Tai? Cute space but the bartender obviously had no clue what he was doing. Free pouring cocktails (??) and not using correct ingredients for cocktails that any bartender at a tiki bar should be knowledgeable about. read more

Went on a Saturday and the DJ was great. 70's and 80's. Really fun. Busy but not packed. I will be back. Since there are heaters and patios with different elevations (north, south, east, west) you can get out of the wind or chill as it is presented. read more

Great new place in The Heights! Good drinks and awesome tiki atmosphere. Don't miss Happy Hour!

My favorite new spot! Definitely a little whole in the wall place that has a lot of personality. The drinks were amazing, definitely get the ranch water. They have vendors and they're all great! My favorite is the Hot and Buttered. Their seafood is out of this world! read more

I've been here 3 times in 3 days, love it! They always have a live dj keeping the mood fun, and sell crawfish right now. It's great there's no ghetto rap, but the downside is that they play too much disco house music and should play more deep house or trap etc. They have lots of frozen drinks and mimosa options to keep your body temp down while the fun heats up. Love the swings and outdoor seating too, highly recommend. read more
