Description: Tiki Tatsu-ya is an immersive experience, a place to escape the modern world and to an island paradise.

At the entrance, located at the back of the building on Lamar Square Dr., guests will find themselves embarking on an adventure into two separate yet connected spaces. Through wooden porthole doors, they venture into the cave, peering up at a giant, two-story Shisa Dragon rock fountain, and exploring deeper to find rock walls flanked with skulls, a shield wall, and nautical accents like fishing nets and floats. A cozy booth across the fountain puts guests in the belly of an ancient trade ship, with portholes depicting scenes from the island’s discovery. At the end of the cave sits the main bar, adorned with layers of eye-catching woodwork and boasting a collection of custom mugs, glasses and a world-class selection of rum.

Upstairs, the scenery transitions to a beach hut hideaway, the Nest bar, permanently lit in sunset tones through shuttered windows that keep the outside world at bay. Shibori (Japanese dyed fabrics), bamboo ceilings and accents, and a large art piece depicting the journey of the Japanese Ama diver (pearl diver), along with views of the Shisa Dragon fountain below, set the scene.
