Fruity cocktails, island vibes, theatrical classics, and fire shows























"For bachelorettes who can’t afford to jet off to a tropical destination, Eater Dallas’s 2019 Bar of the Year is a solid second choice. Post up in on the cozy couch in “The Grotto,” and sip fancy, beautifully garnished umbrella drinks like Mai Tais and painkillers all night long. When hunger inevitably strikes, order some munchies from the taco bar next door." - Rachel Pinn

"A tiny tiki oasis in an up-and-coming Division Street development in Arlington, this bar pairs kitschy, island-themed decor (complete with blue ocean waves projected on the walls) with seriously potent, carefully composed cocktails. Drawing on tiki icons like Donn The Beachcomber and Trader Vic, the menu revisits classics such as the Mai Tai and Three Dots and a Dash while also offering creative, well-balanced drinks—try the Lady Angelica, a sherry-forward cocktail with citrus and passionfruit—as an accessible entry into bold tiki flavors." - Amy McCarthy

"The 2018 debut of 4 Kahunas Tiki Lounge in Arlington provided tiki enthusiasts a ray of hope after Trader Vic’s left Dallas, but it remains a long haul from Dallas—especially after a couple of potent rum drinks." - Amy McCarthy

"A new island-inspired bar in Arlington, 4 Kahunas Tiki Lounge brings a tiki, tropical vibe to the local scene and was nominated for Bar of the Year in the 2018 Eater Awards." - Amy McCarthy

"An Arlington tiki bar built with authenticity in mind after the owners visited more than 50 legendary tiki spots worldwide; the menu features classic‑style tropical cocktails like Painkillers and Zombies and is designed for communal experiences such as sharing punch bowls." - Amy McCarthy
