"Any good tiki bar needs a few unexpected, over-the-top moments. Tiki Mirage has them in spades. A night at this 12-seat bar inside a moving truck parked in a Chinatown alleyway includes interactive storytelling and godly gift offerings, plus the expected tasty tropical beverages. You'll enjoy rounds of cocktails designed by Thunderbolt (coursed out with elaborate backstories) and dessert from Flouring Cake Shop. There’s even a bubbling fountain that everyone drinks from with goblets. You’ll need a ticketed reservation booked through their website to attend, but they typically offer two seatings per night a few times a week. Spots sell out quickly, so keep an eye on their Instagram for the latest ticket drops. " - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
