Nestled above The Game in Adams Morgan, Tiki on 18th invites you to sip on island-inspired cocktails alongside Filipino comfort food in a vibrant, cozy setting.
"A Polynesian-themed bar known for its long list of Caribbean rums, thoughtful interpretations of historical classics, and unique glassware. It offers a daily happy hour with drinks like $10 Zombies and $5 bites, and continues to operate daily starting at 5 p.m." - Tierney Plumb
"The Adams Morgan tiki bar ramps up island and escapism vibes with a pop-up paying homage to The Island of Misfit Toys (beverage manager Rico Wisner’s favorite holiday classic). Look for themed drinks like his infamous Egg-N-Grog and over-the-top design from the “Queen of Christmas Bars” Adriana Salame-Aspiazu, who helped pioneer the original Miracle on 7th Street. She brings the timeless classic to the heart of 18th Street with a snowy, icy cave escape. The pop-up will run November 24 to January 5 alongside its traditional Filipino menu." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
"Tiki on 18th typically drops $1,500 each year to replace 150 to 200 tropical mugs that customers steal." - Lenore Adkins
"Adams Morgan’s treasured tiki perch offers miniature versions of its “Zombie” and “Rain Killer” cocktails to pair with its Filipino fare. Served in a miniature gold pineapple, the “Zombie” shot is a mix of rum, lemon, orange, Curacao, grenadine, and absinthe (the menu suggests taking an Uber home after one of these). The equally tropical “Make It Rain” shot combines vodka, lime, orange, pineapple, and bitters." - Emily Wishingrad
"The revamped Tiki on 18th, which just got a design and menu makeover, is all about the scorpion bowls. Vet D.C. mixologist Rico Wisner focuses the revamp on Caribbean rums, festive barware, and cocktails that point thoughtfully to tiki’s past, with skewers and noodle bowls from Filipino chef Jo-Jo Valenzuela." - Missy Frederick
