Tiki Tatsu-Ya

From the wunderkind team behind nationally recognized Ramen Tatsu-Ya (including Kemuri Tatsu-Ya and DipDipDip Tatsu-Ya), comes Tiki Tatsu-Ya. This South Lamar tiki bar delivers an interactive drinking experience that makes you feel as if you stumbled into hipster Disneyland—in a good way. Here, the hype is real. From the moment you enter the space, with its textured walls decorated like the interior of a cavern and covered in skulls, you feel like you’ve stumbled across a secret pirate’s grotto. The drinks are strong enough to satisfy even the most notorious swashbuckler, too. Go for the Port Light, a mix of bourbon, port, and tropical fruits served in a ceramic cup decorated with a crawling octopus. And don’t sleep on the food, either—shareable bites inspired by island flavors, like Spam on the Half Shell, balance out all those stiff drinks, so you won’t leave the space stumbling like Jack Sparrow.
