My coworker and I were suuuuuper excited to discover a tiki place in Charlotte! As long as you ignore Woodlawn Rd. outside (not very tiki-riffic), Tiki Hideaway's atmosphere is delightful.
They have pufferfish lights that glow different colors, a "storm" that happens every once in awhile (thunder over the PA and video of a tropical storm on the TVs - it would be fun if they could flick the lights off and on as well to simulate lightning!), a giant tiki head behind the bar with a mouth holding liquor bottles, and tiki-style seating.
The cocktails are strong and creative, but expensive. Basically expect a minimum of ten dollars per drink. However, it's fun to experience this place at least once!
