Strong Water Anaheim

"A tiki bar in Anaheim, California, celebrated for its creative cocktails." - Rebecca Roland

"The 2024 awards program also saw Strong Water Anaheim receive a nomination for Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program." - Rebecca Roland

"Anaheim will never be known for its nightlife options, but if you want to go out for a cocktail, Strong Water needs to be your destination. This semi-secretive tiki bar in downtown Anaheim is the definition of an immersive experience. Drinks arrive in tiki masks and shrouded in smoke, a waterfall cascades in the corner, and guests book tables in rooms titled “Captain’s Table”, “Captain’s Quarters”, and the “Main Hall.” The setting is theatrical and over-the-top, but it’s still the incredible cocktails you’ll remember the most. The menu changes frequently, but our current favorite is the boozy, Bourbon-based Cannon Fire. Make sure to snag a reservation at least a day in advance." - brant cox
