Tiki bar · Marina Cove

"Martin Cate’s original Tiki bar in Alameda (before he left to open Smuggler’s Cove) opened in 2006. It’s low key, laid back, kitschy, and relaxing with gentle island music rolling in. The drinks, like a Sidewinder’s Fang with fresh-squeezed juice, are perfect. This might be the best Tiki bar out there, period." - Caleb Pershan
