Tikicat - Kansas City

For larger groups, there are some cozy booth seats near the bar, but keep in mind that the space is somewhat limited. I recommend making reservations on weekends, although you can usually find bar seating without a prior booking. Note that outside food is not allowed, so be sure to grab a bite at Hopcat or another nearby spot before or after your visit—though you'll likely want to stay for at least one drink before heading out!

The drink menu offers a variety of rum mixes, and they even have a shared bowl option for groups. I can tell you, the drinks pack a punch! It’s definitely a fun atmosphere, perfect for chilling out, chatting, and enjoying the experience with friends—it really feels like you’re transported somewhere far away from Kansas City. They do accept walk-ins when it’s not busy, which is a nice touch. Plus, they have their own restrooms, so you don’t have to use the main ones at HopCat. The staff is friendly, and we’re looking forward to returning next time!

Entering Tikicat through a secret door offers a really unique experience right from the start. If you're in search of something different from the usual bar scene, the atmosphere here is unlike anything I've experienced in Kansas City. The drinks were exceptional and truly one-of-a-kind. I ordered the Don’s Own Grog and will definitely be getting another one on my next visit. The prices were a bit higher than what I'm accustomed to, but they’re worth every penny!

Great place to relax and enjoy a cocktail. it is not your typical bar. this is a special bar, they have the best Tiki cocktails a few beer and a top notch list of the dipped rums. So if his vodka soda wants them, that's not the place to go. very small intimate space, with small private cottages for small groups. make sure to make a reservation as they do not have much space and book in advance. no windows, no tvs only etage to cover tiki. it is a 21 and over bar, they check the wise at the door. this is a place to bring a date, or a small group of friends for a unique and funny night.

One of the most unique bars in Kansas City and one of the best tiki bars around. From the classics to their own signature concoctions, you’re guaranteed to be impressed drink after drink. The bartenders and staff are all friendly and entertaining. Be sure to call ahead and make reservations or you probably won’t get in. But once you’re there, you’ll be transported to an entirely different place.
