We really enjoy this little Tiki-themed bar and restaurant in our neighborhood, especially at happy hour! They have great drinks and good happy hour offerings, including reduced prices on some menu options. I especially like their burgers and their fish and chips. Their loco moco is also very good, but we had to ask for extra gravy… They have some …

This place is unlike any tiki place I have been. Stopped in just to see the place on a road trip since we love tiki and history and ended up booking at the Caliente and going to the Reef for dinner. Place is off the hook! Great food and drinks just steps from the pool. They have a stage and …

This is a cute little tiki bar tucked away at the Caliente at the south end of the strip. If you’re staying in the hotels down there like the V the Ace or Saguaro it’s the perfect spot to start off your night because the drinks are strong tiki drinks. The staff is really nice and the atmosphere is chill, …

The happy hour drinks and spam musubi tacos were awesome and our server was so kind (I believe his name was Richard?)! Very cute but casual tiki vibe in an indoor/poolside setting, will return next time I’m in Palm Springs

Solo female traveler who felt welcomed. Old school tiki bar with great servers and bartenders. Especially nice on its patio overlooking the pool at night.

Cool vibes, great food and service. We ordered the Reef pupu platter which was plenty for two. My husband ordered a zombie drink and I ordered the Palm Springs punch. We requested a spot with nice cool ac and it sure was chilly it was a nice escape from the heat.

Our first trip to Palm Springs. Had a list of places we wanted to check out, and since our VRBO wasn’t ready yet, we headed over to the Reef, which was on our list. What we found was a fun little bar, with a friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled bartender. The food was really good, and so were the drinks. My …

Ahoy, tiki lovers from around the world! You have found an old school tiki dive bar that has not been ruined by the march of time. This location opened as the Congo Room on the Caliente Tropics Resort in 1964. Numerous owners and concepts followed during the next 50 years. Since I only came in for a tropical drink (absolutely …
