Island-inspired cocktails with erupting volcano & tiki huts
"In between volcano eruptions at this Financial District tiki bar, have a chat with one of the Hawaiian shirt-adorned bartenders. While there aren’t any non-alcoholic options on their extensive cocktail menu, the staff can make you a custom drink. Just let them know what you’re in the mood for and they’ll put something together that usually arrives with a skewered bouquet of fruit for a garnish. If you can, find a seat in the backroom where you can do some decent indoor stargazing." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"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
