Tropical tiki bar with comfort food, island vibes, and rum cocktails
"An invitation-only hidden bar with Mexican-inspired cocktails and seafood, located within a Montrose tiki bar." - Brittany Britto Garley
"From the husband and wife team behind Nobie’s and Nonno’s Pizza, Toasted Coconut showcases tiki bar favorites in a casual space with beachy decor and a moody atmosphere. Try the Jamaican, crafted with two types of rum, or the boozy Painkilla sweetened with pineapple and coconut, and save room for good eats like pork dumplings, chickpea curry, and the double cheeseburger built on a Hawaiian bun. For a bar-within-a-bar experience, visit its on-site speakeasy and mezcal bar Quiote, which features bites like lamb tartare tostadas sprinkled with pepitas, and cocktails like the Baja Breeze, a combination of mezcal, aloe, passionfruit, and hoja santa." - Brittany Britto Garley
"You’ve had eggnog, but chances are you haven’t had anything like the version at Montrose’s Toasted Coconut. The Coquito ay Bendito features a trio of rums — Havana Club, Bacardi Ocho, Ron Hacienda Overproof — blended into a frozen treat. Spiced tea and coquito coconut milk are added, along with a dusting of nutmeg." - Marcy de Luna
"This Montrose tiki bar is known for being festive year-round, but for the holidays, it’s definitely decking out its digs to make the season bright. Settle in for the annual return of its Puerto Rican Coquito or a signature cocktail, like its rum-loaded Toasted Coconut or its Tropic Like Its Hot. Then, decide on a filling dish like its cheeseburger or pork dumplings, and then bask in its decorations. The dining room feels like a cozy living room thanks to a fireplace backdrop with a mantel ornate with stockings and a gaudy Christmas tree." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The Toasted Coconut is the perfect summer staycation in Montrose. This tiki bar has flaming rum cocktails served with plastic mermaids and an incredible cheeseburger that keeps the parking lot packed every night. Nothing is too serious here, from the kitschy hut-shaped covered patio to the art lining the walls making jokes about “smoking seaweed.” The scientifically-impossible-to-be-sad-here energy makes it easy to love, especially while tearing off pieces of lamb flatbreads or waxing poetic about the numbing Szechuan french fries." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
