Tiki-Ti

"Tiki-Ti is kitschy weirdness at its finest, complete with a toy mechanical bull and dangerously strong—and delicious—cocktails. This small A-frame tiki bar in Los Feliz only seats a handful of people at a time (many of whom are regulars who have been coming here since the '70s), so plan to wait outside on busy nights. But know that the wait is worth it, because a night here is about fun traditions, like the whole bar chant that happens when you order the Uga Booga. Or when one of your friends ends up on the floor after thinking they have the stamina for a third cocktail. " - brant cox, sylvio martins

"The short-lived Kushiba in Echo Park closed just a few months after opening, but it’s already been flipped to a new concept we’re excited about: Bar A Ti. This casual Mexican spot run by a former Bestia chef offers a short menu of seafood tostadas and tacos on heirloom blue corn tortillas (including crispy beef tacos that taste like a vastly superior take on Tito’s), plus fun cocktails like an ume paloma and pickled mussel michelada. Bar A Ti will run as a residency for the next two months, with hopes of turning into a permanent brick-and-mortar beyond that." - sylvio martins

"In a city known for carefully choreographed weirdness, Tiki Ti is the real, weird deal. This cash-only roadside hut seats only a handful of people at a time, but oh how lucky those folks are. Drinks are named after patrons, the alcohol-to-mixer ratio is off the charts, and if you order the right drink, a song will be sung in your honor. In which case, grab the Toro (the ever-present mini mechanical bull) and prepare yourself for a show." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, kat hong, brett keating

"Tiki-Ti, a 63-year-old tropics-themed bar in Silver Lake, has reopened after a temporary closure due to a family loss. The bar, known for its Puka Punch, Zombie, and mai tai, is open Wednesday through Saturday from 6 p.m. until midnight." - Mona Holmes

"Tiki Mirage, one of the most immersive cocktail experiences in Los Angeles, is relocating to Chinatown. Founded by Max Masuda-Farkas, Aaron Girard, and Nick Newberg, the bar features a detailed tiki interior within a box truck and offers a unique show with an original story. The new location in Chinatown will allow guests to enjoy a new cocktail menu by Thunderbolt and participate in a new narrative based on a fictional sea explorer. The move to Chinatown aims to attract more visitors and support local businesses." - Matthew Kang
