What People Are Saying About Tiki Bob's
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Hula skirt-wearing bartenders pour shots behind a bamboo bar as attractive young people dance to Top 40 tunes under the stare of an enormous glowing tiki statue (humorously resembling the Brady Bunch's cursed taboo). Although it's hardly Egypt or Maui, this cantina does possess a drink menu worthy of an Epcot international cocktail tour--and more than its fair share of plam trees.

great place to dance, friendly people
by paradise384
Ive been to tiki bobs NUMEROUS times and even I, who tends to be very picky, have fun every time i go. They play music that everyone can listen to not just unknown hip-hop and techno. The patrons AND staff were all really friendly every time I went and i have never witnessed a fight there but im sure EVERY bar/club has them. There is a cool big screen where you can watch u or your friends dancing if you stand in the right place and you can dance up on the bar. There is enough people there so tis not empty and theres always a chance to get up on the bar. The line is never bad when I go and the cover is only 5 bucks. If youre expecting an upscale or sophisticated experience I wouldnt reccomend it but its great for the 21-28 crowd who just wants to go out and party id say. I LOVE the fact that they have staff members who go around and ask you if youde like a free shot poured in your mouth and just when you think its getting a little too hot in there they spray this cold foggy air out at everyone. Definitly a fun, laidback time for a typical college crowd.
- Pros: good music,friendly people
- Cons: drinks are mediochre, no where to sit down

BOUNCERS ARE THUGS/CRIMINALS
by lizzieo
this place is so stupid, they serve alcohol and then when the kids (yes kids) fight, they bouncers instead of taking control by escoting them out...they FIGHT THESE KIDS and beat them to a pulp.
i have reported them already and suggest you stay away.
what i witnessed more than once there is a CRIME!
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: THE BOUNCERS SHOULD BE JAILED OR COMMITTED
