Last Rites

"The newest bar on this list is the Castro-adjacent Tiki den in the former Residence space from the team behind Horsefeather, with Tiki concoction help from a former Forbidden Island bartender. Most of the drinks on the menu can be turned into bowls for groups, but you should probably stick to the house Mai Tai, made with three rums, dry curacao, and a house-made lime-cashew orgeat." - Jay C. Barmann

"Built from parts of an actual airplane, Last Rites gives drinkers the impression they’ve crash landed on a desert island. While there’s lots of dense, tropical foliage, the bar lacks actual Tikis — the term for big carvings of Polynesian gods that’s lent itself to the genre as a whole. Still, it’s got everything that makes Tiki bars great: Classic rum drinks and fun variations on them (from the team behind Horsefeather) in a completely immersive environment." - Caleb Pershan

"If you thought a plane crash-themed bar couldn’t turn up the Halloween horror factor, you’d be wrong — Last Rites is going “Last Ritual” on customers from October 25 through October 31. Expect four new cocktails from the Last Rites team, plus an “immersive Halloween experience.” There’s no cover, but a one-drink minimum purchase is required (and it’s just polite)." - Dianne de Guzman

"Last Rites, located in Duboce Triangle, is a self-described "adventure bar" known for its imaginative cocktail menu. The new menu, debuting on August 1, features cocktails with fictional characters, backgrounds, and book covers. General manager Thomas Bermudez and bar manager Gabriel Chavez lead the innovation. The bar embraces exploration, moving away from traditional tiki drinks, focusing on creative and whimsical offerings. Last Rites provides an immersive experience with lighting and effects, creating a unique atmosphere for guests." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Immersive cocktail destination Last Rites is reopened as of early June, Hoodline reports. The bar, known for its extensive selection of rums and cocktails that feature the spirit, is serving drinks Tuesday through Saturday nights." - Becky Duffett
