There are some days where you would give anything to escape to a tropical paradise and forget about your worries. Although a trip to the Hawaiian Islands may not be in your immediate future, you can always make a visit to Frankie’s Tiki Room, a legendary island-themed bar in the heart of Las Vegas. You’ll feel instantly transported to a slice of paradise when you walk through this bar’s doors. Stop for a drink and experience this amazing destination for yourself!
Escape to a fantastical island-themed paradise when you visit Frankie's Tiki Room in Las Vegas. Boasting "a unique combination of south seas exotic and modern primitivism, with just a hint of Las Vegas kitsch", you'll leave reality behind when you enter its doors.
Frankie's Tiki Room opened in 2008 but quickly turned itself into a Las Vegas icon. The bar's stunning interior was built by the world's foremost tiki bar designer, Bamboo Ben. You may have seen his earlier works at the original Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland and Vegas' Aku Aku at the Stardust.
Frankie's doesn't shy away from its kitschy theme. Mixing traditional island decor with modern lowbrow art, it looks to be the quintessential tiki bar! The atmosphere is on-point, but what about the drinks?
Let's just say that Frankie's tiki drinks are among the most delicious around. On the menu is a variety of island-themed concoctions that are organized by alcohol level. Drinks with three skulls will likely give you a buzz, whereas drinks with five skulls are to be approached with caution!
Frankie's Original Tiki Drinks are one-of-a-kind creations with fun names like Lava Letch, Bearded Clam, Surf Dragon, and Frankiestein. For some extra cash, you can have it served to you in a souvenir tiki mug!
Of course, you can't go wrong with a simple Mai Tai or Scorpion. The latter of the two is a smooth blend of light rum, brandy, lemon, and orange - typically served in a bowl with multiple straws, but at Frankie's is served individually.
Prepare to be transported to a tropical island where the drinks are always flowing when you visit Frankie's Tiki Room. Visit the bar's website to learn more and see the full cocktail menu.
