The Grass Skirt

Tiki bar · San Diego

"So what if one of San Diego's top tiki bars is in a strip mall? Once you shuffle through the freezer door inside Good Time Poké—that's its "speakeasy" element—you'll be instantly transported to the South Pacific (or at least, to a fond memory of Trader Vic's). Hula girl murals line the walls, and there are bamboo details, lanterns, and fire pits aplenty. Bar bites are Polynesian-inspired (get the kimchi fried rice) and almost all cocktails are rum-based, with appropriately tiki-themed names like Jilligan's Island and Tipsy Tentacle (the latter, made with black rum, biscotti liqueur, lime, pineapple, coconut, and banana, really strikes a tropical mood)." - Archana Ram
