“Tiki”, is dead. And frankly, it had it coming. At Kiki Lounge, we’ve kept the fun, flamboyance, and sheer campiness of tiki while ditching the cultural appropriation, replacing it with 90s pop culture, neon lights, disco balls, divas, and just the right amount of leopard print.
Born as a tropical hideaway on a not-so-tropical island, Kiki Lounge was created during the pandemic, offering an escape when people couldn’t leave the Isle of Man. Since then, it has evolved, redefining what a tropical bar can be and dragging tiki culture—kicking, screaming, and often covered in glitter—into the modern era.
With a focus on modern technique, sustainability, and quality over kitsch, we’ve reimagined tropical cocktails for today’s drinkers. In this seminar, we’ll show how bars can embrace escapism without the baggage—just great drinks, great vibes, and a damn good time.
