Drinks were excellent (Mai Tai’s and Saturns this visit)
Hours vary, street parking and they have a happy hour. Background music was 60’s R & R. no chow but you can order from other establishments. Danny Gallardo (TikiDiablo) had a hand in the build and it shows. I wish this place was closer-I’d be a regular

Thank you for starting this post. I thought the Tiki-Ko was great! We went the 2nd weekend they were open. The owners were super nice, the place looks great and the drinks are good. I wish I didn't live so far away from it. I follow them on instagram and they look like they are having a lot of fun there. They said they are thinking about opening up the basement space in the future.
Here are some photos.

Mahalo to you for posting dem pix! I took plenny when I was there but none of the interior shots were useable. I was reluctant to post the exterior shots cuz although I really like the mural (Tikitony?) it does not really reflect the old school tikiness found inside.
Cheers to you Tiare
