Why we recommend it

The Golden Tiki is a 24-hour tiki bar on Spring Mountain Road in Chinatown, and it describes itself as a world-famous tiki bar serving traditional and original tropical cocktails. It leans into theatre, with a pirate backstory built around the fictional Captain William Tobias Faulkner, and the result is a playful, immersive room that is busy late into the night.

The cocktail list covers the tiki canon, including the Mai Tai, Painkiller, Zombie and Jungle Bird, alongside the bar's own creations, shots and flights. Non-alcoholic options are available too, so everyone in a group can join in. The food menu is designed for sharing over drinks, with Chinatown Fries, Sticky Fingers sweet chilli chicken bites, tiki chips and dip, fried gyoza, wings, sliders and a pupu platter for groups.

Happy hour runs every day from 4pm to 7pm, with select beers and specialty cocktails at reduced prices, which makes an early evening visit good value. A late-night menu is served from 1am to 4am, which is useful after a show or a night on the Strip. The bar also stages a seasonal Haunted Tiki Revue, a themed event that is popular with regulars.

The Golden Tiki is open 24 hours, and it is strictly 21 and over: you must bring a physical, valid photo ID to enter, so do not rely on a phone photo. It suits groups of friends, couples and anyone who enjoys themed bars. Weekends and late nights can be very busy, so arrive early in the evening or during happy hour if you want a seat. Tiki drinks are often strong, so pace yourself.

The pirate storyline is carried through the décor, so take time to look around between drinks, and the late-night menu means you can make a full evening of it.

The bar is on Spring Mountain Road in Chinatown, a short taxi or ride-share west of the Strip. It is easy to combine with dinner at one of the area's restaurants, such as Sparrow + Wolf further along the road, and with Frankie's Tiki Room on West Charleston if you want to compare the city's two best-known tiki bars. A ride-share is the sensible choice after a few cocktails.
