Tiki Bar at Niagra

Pages: 1 7 replies

Has anyone been to the Tiki bar under the Niagra lounge in NYC. I don't know whether it's worth the trip since it is a hipster bar, but it is owned by D-Generation singer Jesse Malin, which might make it cool.

What's the Tiki Factor?

Damn you got me excited for a second - from the title I thought you meant Niagara Falls!

Sigh.

Goin' over the falls in a rum barrel...

I like the Lei bar under Niagara. It's not as much a hipster place like the upstairs. There's a cool Mod DJ that spins on Fri. night. People dance and go-go dancers are there too. There's some mugs in cases, and other tiki decor. But if you are looking for tiki drinks, there's only a piña colada. But it's still worth checking out, I think.

Used to dj there about 5 years ago. Great to hear that someone else is doing the 60's go-go thing again. I had a blast when I did it.

Howie Pyro of D-Generation/Danzig/The Desciples ( and many more ) used to spin there on Friday Nights doing a full on lounge freakout night.

Great stuff.

Hey, whats the name of the dj there on Saturdays? Is it Dj Slim Chance or Dj Ring Ding?

Hmmm...I was never impressed by the Lei Bar. As far as I can see it's decorated in the Tiki style but that's about it. They have had some pretty cool Go-Go things going on down there, but I wouldn't advise going there to get you tiki-freak on. Otto's and even Wally's (even though I give that place a half thumbs down) are cool if you are looking for some E. Village tiki.

Are there any good Tiki bars in Southern Ontario?
Okay, I've lowered my expectations.
Any bad ones?
I'm thirsty for some tiki vibes.
