"A darling of the San Francisco bar scene, Pagan Idol invites you into a fantastical world of tiki. Load up on flaming punch bowls and then explore the extravagant decor, replete with bubbling aquariums and a twinkling night sky. Every now and then a thunderous roar is the sound of the “volcano” erupting and a cloud of smoke flows out of the ceiling." - Dianne de Guzman
"If you want to wait out the rush hour traffic in a place that will make you forget you spent roughly three hours today buried in a single spreadsheet, this place is a good stop. The tiki drinks mainly taste like juice (in a good way), but remember that they’re a lot stronger than that." - will kamensky
"Located inside the bones of the famed Tiki Bob’s Mainland Rendezvous (where the Tiki Bob mug design was born), Pagan Idol roared to life in 2016, with a commitment to theme not always seen in the Financial District — but almost always seen within the portfolio of Future Bars Group. The boozy takes on tiki classics here include the Day Walker, a version of the Zombie with BACARDÍ Ocho named for the similarly powerful vampires unaffected by daylight." - Robert Spuhler
"The former home of the legendary tiki bar Tiki Bob’s Mainland Rendezvous, the Idol is a cocktail bar with a lot of amusement park-style fun mixed in. Fashioned as a wooden ship, this Financial District haven features a sky full of stars, an erupting volcano, and most importantly, the “Daywalker,” the house’s take on the Zombie. The recipe is a secret, but BACARDĺ Ocho shines through." - Vox Creative
"The team behind Rickhouse built this tiki temple and it’s further evidence that the form isn’t going anywhere. Frozen drinks like the mai tai float, Bird of Paradise, or pina colada put the bar’s blenders to use, and there are bowls aplenty for sharing." - Dianne de Guzman
