10 months agoEverytime I come to the Tiki, I have a wonderful experience. Everyone is so sweet and Rachel is the best bartender! She’s always fun to talk with and makes sure I’m well taken care of! 10/10!

year agoI went on a Friday night. Light, friendly crowd and it was a pretty laid back vibe. The DJ karaoke was fun to participate in. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and security/bouncers there as well as plenty of staff so it's an ideal safe spot, especially for women.
Don Hawkins
3 months agoThe Tiki tavern is one of those places where everyone and anyone can go and have a great time. They have done many upgrades over the last year or so. Cold drinks, good music (even the karaoke).
Jesse White
2 years agoAlready a place you should go to for the service and atmosphere. Cold beers, cheap food, Pool tables, darts, pin ball. They got it all! Friendly staff, old school vibes. Free popcorn on request 👌🏼Different events during the week so be sure to check out the calendar

4 years agoEven as out-of-towners, my husband and I were made to feel like family! As soon as you walk in the door, you're welcomed with a smile. I had the best strawberry pineapple margarita I've EVER had here. It's even made with fresh fruit! The tavern featured three pool tables and a live band. There were no Lyft or Uber drivers around to get us back to our room, but Oak Island Taxi had us covered.

10 months agoFrom the moment I walked in, I knew The Tiki Traven was something special! The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of life. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — but what truly set this place apart was the manager, Jerry. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for every guest have left a lasting impression not only on my heart but on our entire community. Jerry embodies what true leadership looks like — hospitality with heart. He doesn’t just manage a team; he creates an experience that makes you feel seen, valued, and appreciated. The food, the service, the energy — everything was top-notch. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, with people who treat you like family, look no further than The Tiki Traven. Thank you, Jerry, for setting the standard and for blessing our community with excellence and love.
Adam Badt
5 years agoWhat a fabulous "hole in the wall joint"! It's nice and the Bartender Jen is a hoot and a half! Friendly, wise brilliant and will make a mean strawberry jalapeno margarita! Awesome place, close friendly, content, and just a nice place to have a drink or 6!
Laurie Ruettimann
3 years agoReally loved this place. Don’t read any other review except this one. ⬇️ My husband and I came for the alleged local drama and shenanigans. Instead, we got really great drink specials on Monday (get the “Just Another Manic Monday”) and had a wonderful time chatting with the bartender who took pride in her job. Is this place more tavern than tiki? Sure, but it’s better than some stupid corporate bar with no character. You’ll love it. I promise. Give it a try. And tip the bartenders well! PS - We also recommend any and all of the mojitos. So good. Fresh mint served from their garden.
