The Tiki Bar and Kitsch Inn in Glasgow City

Food has always been great here, staff just fun and always helpful. The menu has a good spread and everyone ate the dishes with no complaints Drinks were all good and tasty I dropped one star but that was just the cost of the drinks, always find it annoying when a drink is £10

30 for a cocktail that didn’t really taste like it had alcohol in it as a welcome drink wasn’t a great start. I had 3 starters. Som Tum was meant to be a shredded pounded salad and this was a favourite of mine when I traveled. It wasn’t close to the authentic som tum or even vaguely similar. Less than half a bag of supermarket salad with a few slices of mango and no dressing was not worth &6.50. I wouldn’t have even classed it as a decent side salad. The rest of the food was ok but nothing was great. Tiki was overpriced and underwhelming…

We booked a 2 course 5pm deal. Had 2 lovely cocktails to start before dinner. The Chef gave us an extra starter to try which was an added bonus. We also had unlimited prawn crackers. We both had thai red curry for main which was absolutely delicious and a great portion! Rebecca our waitress was so friendly and helpful and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

After leaving a great night in bunker we decided to finish our night in here. We were greeted by a not so friendly bouncer saying we might not get seated together as there Not sure if he said this to put us off as when we went in the place was dead with only a few people. Plenty of tables and chairs for us to sit together so sounds like he was being arsey with us. Had one drink as it was late and left. This is now the third time I’ve been here for drinks maybe I’m going to late or the wrong times, I won’t let this experience put me off as I will try again for food, it us a lovely place to go just not on this occasion.

Visited 24/02/2024 as was in the city for a gig. We wanted some cocktails and boy, they did not disappoint. We had a Zombie and a Saturn each and they were both fantastic. Staff were friendly, clean toilets and a great selection of tunes made for a nice vibe. Recommend

Fabulous 👌 venue was lovely, staff were super attentive and food and drinks were great! Lovely time had

Do NOT get the pad Thai, it’s horrible!

Fantastic place just off the main drag. Well worth a visit. Great value for money. We had the express lunch menu which is two courses for £10. Don't think it could be beaten for value for money and taste. It's not tiny portions of processed food from overpriced city centre eateries as per the usual, it was great sized portions of home made, delicious food. We had the spring rolls, chicken satay and then a red and green thai curry. Along with lovely prawn crackers and dip. Definitely a place we will visit again. Staff were great too, really friendly and approachable. Quirky decor and design.

What a cute kitch bar/restaurant. Food and cocktails good and service great. Great find.

Food was amazing, service top notch, zombie cocktail highly recommended!

Great atmosphere friendly staff amazing cocktails and fab food what more could you ask for. This will now be a regular haunt !

Great little place with a restaurant and bar area. Food really good and interesting. Staff really helpful and attentive. Had a lovely meal there

グラスゴー５件目のタイ料理 グリーンカレーを頼んでみます(^o^) カンニャオって、ちゃんと伝わったのかな？

We had dinner and drinks on 10/12, the servers could not be nicer and the food was excellent. The phat Thai curry in particular was fantastic.

The decor in the Tiki bar is fantastic! Very unique. The service was very good too. They have an extensive bar menu. Sadly, let down by their cocktails. They were very sweet, expensive and we couldn’t taste much alcohol in them at all. I got a zombie. Now at a cost of £13 and a limit of 2 per customer, you’d expect them to be quite strong but I couldn’t even tell I’d had a drink afterwards. It just tasted of juice. After watching the lad make them, the cocktails are 25% liquid and 75% ice at best! Not worth the cost. Won’t be back.

Fab cocktails shame wasn't that busy so not much Atmos

Reasonably priced cocktails and pleasant staff!

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic staff,awesome drinks. Highly recommended.

Delicious food. Lovely friendly staff. Only my 2nd time here but definitely not my last.

First time visit. Food , cocktails and staff were fantastic. Recommend the massaman curry , strawberry daiquiri were delicious as was the pina colada .

Really fun wee place! The cocktails are super cheap mid-week and the food was good. Would definitely go back here one day!

Nice Thai food, cheap cocktails and cool decor! Was quite quiet but was a Monday night

Stopped by for one after visiting the King' theatre. Excellent choice of cocktails available. Mojito was well made. Large outdoor seating area. Would be amazing on a warm summers day. TV's outside too for sporting events. Didn't order food but from what I seen on tables looked appetising.

Enjoyed all my food in there . Great chicken satay sticks and peanut butter sauce .

Came in last week for a big staff night out. It was unplanned and more people turned up than expected but the staff, Becca especially were super accommodating. Made our drinks as quickly as possible and gave out blankets when it got chilly outside. Went back again this week and she's still a wee star 🌟

My girlfriend and I stumbled across this gem of a place and decided to try out their boozy brunch. The food was amazing and cocktails were great. I honestly didn’t expect much as brunch deals tend to be quite dull, but this place, so far, is the best by a country mile. I honestly recommend the beef massaman, chicken satay and melon margarita cocktail. Rebecca served us from start to finish and was so nice and attentive. It was very busy for a period of time due to a large walk-in, but she made it work! She also asked about allergies, which is pretty uncommon in most establishments. A main + side and four cocktails for £30 pp is honestly a steal. No hidden charges either unlike some other places in Glasgow. We will definitely be back.

Loved this place, fantastic staff, great drinks and best of all not too busy. Seemed like they were limiting amount of people allowed in which was perfect.

Not really a tiki bar. Sure it's decorated on the inside but not with love and care rather just putting some appropriately inappropriate posters on the wall. The massive TV in the corner showing rugby and other TVs showing adverts for vodka redbull are not very tiki. Outside the TVs are blasting MTV and ads. The staff are friendly enough but not really in the tiki spirit (not a Hawai Shirt in sight). The drinks were ok but not done with love either, they are poured together by the bartender's not using fresh ingredients and not being tasted or checked. The result is palatable but nowhere near to what tiki can (and ought to be). Most of the other guests seemed to be enjoying themselves, but they were drinking beer and watching the rugby. Which are great pasttimes but I am wondering why they chose an (allegedly) tiki bar. It also seems that they don't do tiki mugs on weekends which adds to the strange feel. This is not a bad place just I came with the expectation of enjoying a wonderful tiki experience as in trader's Vic and many tiki bars around today. Instead I found a rather average bar that shows the Sport, plays loud music and has Guinness on draught masquerading as a tiki bar. It was not the facsimile I was hoping for

Food is great and the service is always amazing. The cocktails with the food is always a good idea and the quality of each of the dishes is always brilliant. My partner and I have been on a number of occasions and never once had less than a 5 star time.

Bouncer said I couldn’t come in because I was brown ?

Tiki themed bar with a large outdoor area and smaller indoor area. Service is very slow which is common with every cocktail bar in the city though. Outdoor area is poorly sheltered from wind and rain and the heaters were not turned on when I visited, would be good in a dry summers evening though.

I booked a table here for a quiet Thai meal with my husband close to our hotel. I understood I had booked a table for two in the restaurant on the ground floor. On arrival, the manager (I use the term manager loosely) had assigned us instead a table on the noisy bar part of the establishment, and four people clearly the worse for drink we’re playing table football really noisily right next to what would have been our table. WTAF? Unsurprisingly they lost our business. Turns out there’s a really good Thai restaurant right around the corner. I’d be amazed if they don’t loose a lot of customers this way. The „manager“ needs to engage her brain here.

Really great space indoors but... the food! 🤕 Do yourself a favour and give this place a pass. There's a lot of potential as a venue but whoever is running the kitchen is making a serious dogs dinner of it.

Believe it or not this was my first Thai meal and I am 61 years old (apart from a horrible curry from supermarket which made me think I did not like Thai food!). The meal was absolutely amazing. Me and my daughter shared the chicken skewers, spring rolls and a green Thai curry. The chicken skewers were a bit too spicy for me but I have never tasted anything so amazing than the curry, it was so creamy and the rice was soooo good. I am lactose intolerant and have IBS but my stomach was totally fine as the ingredients are coconut based. I have defininitely been converted to Thai food now, thank you so much :-)

Very unpleasant experience. The front staff is discriminating. Two of our group were not let in, once another three yes. Won't come again for sure.

Well made Tiki drinks, great Thai food, very nice staff. Quite the surprise, went to a tiki place the first night in Scotland!

First off the staff were friendly but clearly understaffed. There were only 8 people in the restaurant, which seemed low for a Saturday night, but it was a lovely setting and seemed to have good reviews. Drinks were served quickly, as were the complimentary crackers but then we sat so long for our starters that these were replaced and we had to order a second round of drinks. When the starters did eventually arrive - my chicken satay was so over cooked I had to cut it off the skewers - a shame as the sauce with it was delicious. My husband said the soup was nice. Again, waited quite a while for main - I had the beef curry - again the sauce was delicious but the beef overcooked so I left that. I left most of my main and no questions were asked as to why. The waitress even mentioned how packed they were in the bar and I’m pretty sure they were trying to cope with both? She was very apologetic for the delays and after we had paid (bill was wrong as well but quickly changed) offered us a round of drinks - I’d much rather they had done that before we paid as we just wanted to leave. Such potential but we wouldn’t go back or recommend.

Very nice ..staff really pleasant

Delicious drinks and cocktails. Food is so rich and tasty, can't believe their lunch menu is only £10 for two courses.

Great places to sit outside and watch sports

Just spent an excellent sunday afternoon here, food and cocktails were delicious. The staff were great, friendly and the bar has an excellent chilled atmosphere inside and in the beer garden. Totally recommend it. Not cheap, but totally worth it.

Love tiki bar. Come often. It's awesome 👍

We stopped by for beers at the new beer garden as it's nice and chill and they have a decent selection of beers. This is also a Thai restaurant so we ordered food after a few pints. The food is great though keep in mind that the Pad Thai has a ton of fish sauce. The staff are friendly and the prices are decent so definitely a hidden gem.

Dropped in for dinner between work and going to a show at kings. Bar had a few tables who all had the same idea. Food was lovely and because I was in midweek got to take advantage of the list of lower price cocktails. Wonderful spot to have a meal midweek.

Lovely food and staff. All four of us enjoyed dinner.

Really warm and friendly, great selection and staff were very welcoming. Will go again 👍👍👍

I have visited twice , the prices are very reasonable and waiting to visit again

A versatile (but not so much you can't make a choice) menu, delicious food and a very friendly staff makes this a restaurant we would like to visit more often (distance is an obstacle...)

Superb. Just superb. My fiancé and I had our first date in here 9 years ago and always remembered the fabulous food and service. I came back on the 16th March for a bite to eat with my brother and step dad. It did not disappoint. Although the drinks can sometimes be a little expensive, there was a promotion on with half price cocktails. We were delighted! They were delicious. My beef Massaman curry was to die for. The pork jam meal was very good. We also were given prawn crackers with dipping sauce, free of charge. They were really nice too. If you come you must order the beef massaman it’s something truly special. The corn fritters are a great starter too. Will definitely be back!

Lovely food, great cocktail selection and loved the decor and theme. Will defo go back!

Great decor and feels like being on holiday, a little more chill and quiet than I would have expected but love the drink menu.

The atmosphere at Tiki Bar & Kitsch Inn is lively and energetic, with a fun and playful vibe. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is efficient and attentive. One downside to the venue is that it can get quite crowded and noisy, particularly on weekends. However, if you're looking for a fun and unique dining experience, Tiki Bar & Kitsch Inn is definitely worth a visit.

Quirky little bar with some amazing cocktails.

Took advantage of the lunch deal for £10. First, the Massaman curry is among the best I've ever had on the verge of being truly memorable. The two item lunch I had was really tasty and deserved a bigger audience, we were the only people in and a busier restaurant may have made the few small issues not a factor and I'll explain why. If the kitchen was turning over lots of meals then the issue I had with temperature from reheated items would you hope be mitigated by the volume. The food isn't this venue's primary function, it's an evening/weekend place where cocktails are its forte. Can't fault the service. Would I return, yes but just for the Massaman curry alone.

Thai food is fab here . Small plates so you can try a number of dishes. Cocktails are great. The service is fab staff are friendly and helpful. Took our 2 and 4 year old here they lived it . Honestly never had a bad meal here . Deffinatly worth a visit.

We visited at a quiet time but staff couldn’t have been more attentive and lovely. Food and drinks were served quickly and was absolutely delicious and great value. A lovely venue. Will definitely be back.

My TripAdvisor name is "South China Sea" for reasons I won't get into, but suffice it to say I KNOW a Tiki bar when I see one. As I write this I am surrounded by various carved wooden idols from Hawaii and Polynesia, bead necklaces from the Indian Ocean, and a genuine vintage Trader Vic's ashtray and books on the South Seas and Tiki culture going back to the 1940s. Innumerable vintage Hawaiian shirts are behind me in my cupboard. And I almost bought a resort in the Solomon Islands some years ago So when I say the Glasgow Tiki Bar is pretty authentic, I feel reasonably qualified to say so. So I found myself in Glasgow recently on shore leave with time on my hands, and sought out a place I would feel at home, did some Googling and OMG Glasgow has a Tiki Bar! Who would have thought! Although it seems to market itself locally as a place to get blotto with work buddies in the evening, the atmosphere doesn't get a lot of acknowledgement but I gotta say they did a great job on the decor! Unfortunately the night I was there it was COLD, in the middle of the week, and pretty early in the evening, so it was pretty dead. Maybe 3 or 4 other patrons. On entering, visually 5 stars with all the Tiki stuff. Looks like a Trader Vic's. The Drinks menu is pretty good too, but sadly when the drinks came they were disappointingly weak. YES they looked authentic, YES they were served in mostly authentic glasses/mugs with an intriguing option to purchase locally-made ones, and YES they were very flavorful, but WOW they were weak. For a city that is internationally notorious for drinking, I really would have expected the drinks to have a little more kick. Possibly it'll be different when you visit - and you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD - but after several drinks we left without much of a buzz. Hopefully it'll be different for you. The food on the menu comes from a Thai place upstairs (which actually isn't bad and most people there wouldn't know Polynesian food from Thai food) so if you're hungry YES you should order something. Good menu and reasonably priced. ANYWAY if you are in Glasgow and you want to experience something other than the Scottish pub/bar scene, I would recommend you pop in to the Tiki Bar for an hour or two. Thousands of soldiers and sailors passed through Glasgow on their way for the very long trip to Imperial outposts ranging from the Sandwich Islands to the South China Seas, and many of the ships built on the Clyde spent their working lives in the South Pacific, and what better way to recognize all that than a concotion or two at the Tiki Bar and Kitsch Inn? OKAY one last thing - the owners could make a FORTUNE selling T-shirts. The Scots connection and the South Pacific is STRONG. Read up on the history of HSBC and Jardine Matheson. Scots wha hae!

Pre booked for post work pre theatre food. Ordered drinks as well as starters and mains. All greta and the food was very good. The restaurant is upstairs and in line with the Tiki Bar title the set up is unusual but the food is a treat.

This was just around the corner from where we were staying in Glasgow for the weekend and is a surprising little gem. The food was nicely prepared and absolutely delicious. Ribs for starters were melt in the mouth and the Satay chicken really tasty. Thai green and massaman curries were just the right amount of heat in spices and the pad Thai had a bit of a kick too. Staff were very efficient and friendly. Highly recommend!

A must when in Glasgow! Love this place, been going for years. Blue hawian is my fav x

A wee bit out the way of the city centre but was worth the trek for the food, it was delicious

Quirky decor, quirky music reminded me of bioshock, great cocktails that were very creative and tasty and reasonably priced.

Went with son to give a try, was very impressed with service, friendliness quality and portions of starter and main meal on lunch deal, can't beat it for a tenner per head, son had two top class cocktails for £4 each. Will definately be back

Great food, Good prices. Staff are polite and friendly. Loved it

We came for an early dinner one evening and had a lovely experience. I had the satay starter and chili jam chicken main and they were fab. So tasty! The massaman curry was delicious too. Cocktails were great and drink menu had a lot of options. Will be back!

1st visit to this place , and have to say will not be the last , 2 coarse lunch £10 had to find in the city these days , food was excellent didn’t get the young man’s name who was serving us but he was friendly and polite

We booked this as an offer on 5pm for 2 courses, to go for a meal with friends. Food was delicious and fresh and so much flavour. We really enjoyed the prawns in tempura with the chicken satays to start. Mains were chefs specials, Thai...

Poor for food. Two course lunch. Thai food of very basic standard. Slow cooked beef, couldn't get knife through was toughy and fatty so didn't eat any (certainly not slow cooked) . Total of 5 prawns in prawn curry and the rest sauce! Salt and pepper squid starter also overcooked and difficult to cut. Starters come with mains as a side and this wasn't explained on ordering. Overpriced for standard of food delivered. Won't be back. Didn't have drinks although cocktail menu looked nice!

Great wee find.....knowledgable friendly staff....will try food next time. Great for a cocktail

Food wonderful and service was great

Food was lovely and cocktails were amazing

Great for a big group & cocktails. Beer garden is the best, although maybe don’t book your party during a football game, which plays outside on the big screen.

Wish i could give 0 stars. We booked a table here at a reserved cost of £20. No one at the entrance to assist us. We eventually managed to flag someone down. Ordering drinks a nightmare - no table service unless you use the QR code but they have next to no signal and I ended up having to go outside. We waited around 15 minutes for our drinks. Drinks arrived separately. When my drink arrived it was supposed to be served in a skull glass. No skull glass given and I requested an explanation as to why, I was told they dont serve like that at weekend and its skull ice cubes. I proceeded to look at ice cubes and they were standard. I removed all 15 ice cubes from my glass which was considerably small in size and I had less than a quarter of my glass filled with liquid at a cost of £9, this stuff could strip walls it was disgusting and embarrassing to even serve to someone but they stuck some pineapple on top so that was a nice touch 👍 I requested to speak with a manager and asked for my money back, she was rude and unapproachable and didnt even apologise. Refund issued and I left to go to another bar with much better service, better cocktails and excellent staff. I am aware this is based on one drink but in total I lasted less than 30 mins in the place. Staff and management showed no care or concern for their customers I certainly will avoid in future.

Been here a couple of times recently - it's a very cool pub and the menu for drinks is really cool. Really recommend the VOLCANO! It's awesome! The bar menu for food is also excellent - we had good value and great tasting starters to...

Great lunch menu. Good food at very reasonable prices

Absolutely loved this place, so relaxing, great vibe, great service and amazing cocktails. Food was fantastic and extremely reasonable. We got the lunch deal at £9.50 for 2 courses and the food was out of thus world and such good portion sizes. I'll definitely be...

Always terrific. Delicious drinks and friendly staff.

Haven't been to tiki bar for a long time, tried again before a show for food and drinks. Salt and chilli squid still the best I've had.

Always love this place, great cocktails and extensive rum selection. Don't forget to try the food as well!

Mediocre drinks, wonky tables, outside area scruffy, needs a good powerwash and better furniture.

Surprising wee place but fantastic food, service and lovely cocktails. Cannot wait to go back next time we are in Glasgow.

Great cocktails ! Food is good and awesome beer garden.

Lovely Thai meal and the cocktails are great! Staff were really nice and service was excellent.

Really great experience. Thai food was very good. Drinks were well priced and tasty. Plenty of rum choices if you want to try something off menu. Staff were excellent. Professional and super friendly. So good I might even go back tomorrow.

Came here on a 5pm recommendation and booked the meal where you also get your starter served on the same plate. Novel but liked it. Friend had the corn fritters and Thai green curry which were good after I got little tasting and my choices...

First ever time here and this place was very impressive from the minute we walked in, the 2 young girls greeted myself and partner with friendly smiles and showed us to our table before we ordered food and drinks. The decor inside the tiki bar...

Visited for first time last week and glad we did.Very quirky place, lots of interesting decoration..Half price cocktails when we went. Rebecca our server was great very helpful and friendly She gave us a free cocktail.We would have stayed for lunch but we had a booking elsewhere.Visited at lunch time, very quiet then.Dont know what it is like at night.Great place to pop into for a cheap cocktail when out shopping .Not far from Sauchiehall Street.

Great little bar nice cocktails great food loved it

So nice and careful service. Lunch meal is such a great deal! I really enjoyed all aspects of my visit ☀️

Had a great evening catching up with an old pal. The ladies behind the bar were very friendly and attentive. Veggie sharing platter was great.

Visited on a quiet Tuesday night. As expected there was only a small number of people in the bar. We visited as close to the hotel we were staying in. We could recommend the beach bums and Glasvagas cocktail, both were really tasty and packed...

Excellent choice of unique and affordable drinks. We were seated right away. Service was great. Atmosphere kitschy and fun!

Cocktail was lovely. Much smaller menu that have seen before post covid. Hopefully they will have a wider menu in the near future

When your glass gets filled with so much ice that the rest of your £13 drink goes to the sink since it can't fit in the glass anymore is not ideal

Favourite bar in all of Glasgow, amazing drinks and fun decor🗿🍹

Fantastic place, such a cool set up and really friendly staff. Drinks are great but the food is unbelievable, easily the best massaman curry I've had.

Went on for a friends birthday. Took ages to get served at the bar and one of the bar tenders was washing out glasses but coughing all over them! Not very hygienic! The two djs were playing the worst music ever and were having their...

Went in for some coctails and a shared starter, cocktails were lovely and the starter was ok, bit greasy as it was all tempura! Would go back to experiance the mains but the place is lovely and defo worth a look 😁👌👍

Cracking place to visit. Great staff too. 👍🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
