What Is a Tiki Bar?
A tiki bar is a type of restaurant or bar that uses a tropical island theme. These bars are designed to make people feel like they are on vacation, even if they are in a big city. When you walk into a tiki bar, you often see wooden tiki masks, palm leaves, warm lights, and bright colors. Soft music and gentle lighting help create a relaxed mood.
Tiki bars are famous for their fruit-based drinks. Many drinks are made with rum, pineapple, orange, lime, and coconut. They are often served in fun glasses called tiki mugs and decorated with umbrellas, fruit slices, and mint leaves. These colorful drinks look beautiful and smell fresh.
