What People Are Saying About Thatch Tiki Bar
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Visitors enter the tiki hut via a path across a small pond and are greeted by towering tiki gods, blowfish lanterns and black velvet paintings (many of the items were salvaged from defunct bars Jasmine Tree and Kon Tiki). A crowd of trysting couples and rowdy revelers sip made-from-scratch tropical cocktails, like the house mai tai and electric Blue Hawaiian. Appetizers, including egg rolls, chicken satay and coconut shrimp, can be combined with rice and salad for a full dinner.

Lousy service
by Foodlover420
I went there because the bartender was smoking outside and solicited me to come inside. I was looking for food but was disappointed to see they only had lousy fried bar food. The only reason I stayed was because it was happy hour. After being served (at the bar) I was promptly ignored so that the bartender could bullsh*t with his fellow employee. I was out to celebrate that I got a job but the bartender could care less. I'm not the kind of person who needs to chat all about my personal life but have never been to a bar where the bartender was so utterly disinterested in his customers. I was not impressed, although I might go back just because the drinks were really strong and cheap during happy hour, otherwise, I will be sure to steer clear of this place.
- Pros: Strong drinks
- Cons: Sitting at the bar and still ignored

Fun time
by trshtlk
I've come in several times on a Sunday night to find many locals and regulars. That's a good sign in my book. The bartender takes the time to welcome everyone even if she's busy.
We recently brought some friends from out of town and fortunately the good service and vibes were still there. The bartender made some drink suggestions for each of us and it wasn't all about the money. The place got busy and even though we had to wait for service the people there really kept us in conversation and made it fun. My friends really liked this place.
Glad it lived up to all our hype.
- Pros: grt atmosphr, bartnder & regulars r friendly, food tasty
- Cons: never know if the bathroom is workin or not

never again
by thxagn
I must tell you, I love this place. It's in my neighborhood and it's a pretty quiet place to have a cocktail and a conversation. THE PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY GETTING A COCKTAIL. I was joined at Thatch by some friends recently and we didn't get the cocktails we ordered nor did the semi-regular bartender make any attempt to rectify the situation. We were served the wrong drinks and basically told to deal with it. I was mortified.
The food has greatly improved and if they could get the service down. Thatch could be a great place. However, as of now, it's not even pleasant.
- Pros: he doesn't work all the time
- Cons: service is HORRIBLE
