"We stop by Tiki Chick for a mean frozen margarita and appreciate that it's also home to one of our favorite cheap eats in the city: the $5 fried chicken sandwich." - Madison Flager, Kat Chen
"When it’s warm out and you’re planning on blasting techno outside all day, two words is all it takes to take your plans to the next level: “drinks specials.” And Tiki Chick, an Upper West Side tiki bar, has a bunch of them available for takeout right now. From pisco punches to mai tais, they offer double-batched, 16-ounce cocktails for two that cost between $16-$25. Plus, they’ve got a bunch of single-batch frozen cocktails like pina coladas and caipirinhas available for pickup when you order ahead online." - nikko duren
"For a night of concentrated frozen cocktail drinking, head to Tiki Chick on the Upper West Side. The spring break-decorated bar, from the people behind Jacob’s Pickles, has seven frozen drinks on tap at all times, with everything from a fruity hurricane (which you can even get zero-ABV), to a pickle brine-infused painkiller." - will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
"Tiki Chick is a party at brunch. Every single seat in the small, tropical-themed bar fills up, and the party even spills onto the sidewalk patio out front. So if you’re looking to mingle and drink a rum cocktail out of a cup shaped like a shark, this is your best bet. The brunch menu is tiny, and it consists of various donut sandwiches, with everything from bacon and eggs to fried chicken. Don’t come here for a well-rounded meal, but do come for a good time." - bryan kim
"Want to feel like you're at a beach party in the middle of the UWS? Head over to Tiki Chick to sit on a lawn chair on Amsterdam Avenue and drink rum cocktails that come in a ceramic shark’s head. You can’t miss the Barbie pink storefront, and inside, you’ll find a full room of people winking at each other over two-top tables covered in strawberry piña coladas. Food options include shrimp cocktail, a falafel burger, and $5 fried chicken sandwiches. Despite social media fame, the prices at this tropical-themed bar are lower than most fun spots uptown, and it’s open until midnight (2am on weekends)." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, matt tervooren
