My husband and I have been to your Tiki Bar several times and have really enjoyed ourselves. However today we had a very humiliating experience. We ride a Harley Davidson and enjoy stopping by to visit. One of your security guards asks me to take off my bandana. I'm not a person to cause issues so I said okay and took it off. I was very humiliated and embarrassed. What I should have done is ask for a manager. You should NEVER treat a customer who is just sitting back and enjoying quietly have been so humiliated as such. I will never come to the bar again and will share my humiliating experience with anyone I can. To also be honest it was a Harley Davidson bandana. My husband was wearing a Harley Davudson ball cap. Why was I singled outlet???? Why were others who arrived on motorcycles who had bandanas not asked to take theirs off???? It's not like I was in a biker gang. And how would the security have known maybe I was a cancer patient and wore it for medical reasons??? You felt humiliated and like trash which I'm not!!! Â I hope no woman will ever be treated the way I did there. By the way, this happened about 2.5 hours after we were there!!!!!
A very unhappy and humiliated customer.
What a great little outdoor bar! I LOVE this place. Yes, it's outdoor---so there's dirt all over the place, and yes, there is a crowd that enjoys their cocktails. However, the Orange Crush tastes like 'tang on steroids' or a yummy creamsicle (fresh squeezed OJ!) and prices aren't outrageous ($8 for an orange crush, ~$4-5 for a beer). However, keep in mind there is no indoor seating and it is cash only.
Review Source:I have been coming to the Tiki Bar opening in mid April for the last few years. Â I always have a great time. Â This is an open air covered bar with some strong drinks. Â I always enjoy their Orange Crush and the Kokomo. Â The people come to party and drink during the opening, so there is always a huge crowd that weekend. Â It is a large bar with plenty of stools and is only open for the warm months of the year. Â Nice place to people watch and look at the boats on the water.
Review Source:These drinks are strong! Â Or maybe any drink is on an empty stomach. Â Regardless, I liked this place. Â It is had a nice view of the harbor and relaxed vibe. Â It draws a mixed crowd who flock for their mixed drinks. Â Their Orange Crush was one of the better one I have had and based on the amount of them I saw floating around others seem to agree. Â They are cash only so come prepared.
Review Source:The Tiki Bar is a Solomons Island institution, and a fun place to visit.  If you want a wild time, come for the opening day or  on a Friday or Saturday night.  If you are like me (older) you may enjoy coming earlier in the evening or on a week night where you can enjoy the pretty view of the harbor on a warm summer's night.  I love their cocomais, and yes, their drinks are strong, so use caution.  There are many special events at the Tiki Bar throughout the warm months, which is the only time it is open as the bar has no walls.  I recommend the Doggone Tiki Bar Day held in October, which benefits local animal rescue groups, where you can watch a dog costume party, adopt a new pet, and have a drink with fido.
Review Source:Lived right next to Tiki Bar for 3 years. Â The opening is the Mardi Gras of SoMD. Â Bring cash, but there's a ATM with a big surcharge if you run out. Â Avoid all the colored drinks, but the orange crush, which is great. Â The beers are in a can & overpriced. Â Bikers hang here, but so does everybody. Â Somewhere to check out at least once. Â Largest humidor in SoMD too!
Review Source:This is just what you would expect it to be with the name like the Tiki Bar. The drinks are great, I still think the Orange Crush is my favorite and have been trying to make it at home (almost have it down). I got caught in a storm there my last day and that made it even more memorable. Lightning, thunder, wind and rain, did not close the place or scare the people away, even being an open air bar.
Review Source:Tiki Bar is so much fun! It is a wild place, with seriously dangerously strong drinks. Everytime I have been I order grapefruit crush (best drink ever) and wind up getting sloppy drunk! It is actually more fun in the daytime, they have a band early on weekends (5 or so) and that is the best time to go.
Review Source:After hearing about the lore related to the opening of the Tiki Bar for years from my red Southern Maryland pals, I was expecting a veritable oasis of alcohol imbibing in a tropical atmosphere. Â Instead we were met with a sad display of Waldorf street toughs and local fisherman. Â Beers cost $5 for bottles of Miller Lite, cocktails were significantly more. Â Our female companions commented about the watered down mai tais. Â Coming straight from a wedding and still wearing suits, we were needlessly heckled for our required attire. Â I can see how this might be great for the opening when it is packed, but for your average night in Solomon's, look elsewhere for a good time.
Review Source:A fun place to get a drink, but the drink selection could use some work. Â As a fan of most things tiki, I really wanted to love this place. Â Alas, there were some things I liked a lot, but a lot that missed the mark. Â Their Mai Tai is a huge disappointment. Â If you're gonna have a house recipe, take the time to make it good. Â I like that the grounds were sprawling along what seems to be a defunct motel. Â It seems with some gutsy proprietorship you could transform this place into a clever, fun, mayhaps even chic bar/restaurant/motel. Â It seems like it has such potential, but doesn't lift itself above grungy dive bar status.
Review Source:Of course I had to come here being from Hawaii and loving all things tiki! Â The place is small, has a bunch of table around the bar area and near the sidewalk. Â They close during the winter months, mostly because business is much slower and it gets pretty cold in this area.
The bar really is nothing special. Â Just your average tiki bar. Â But, it is nice to see something tiki is this part of the country.
This place is pretty popular. Â Mostly a bunch of locals and some tourists. Â Solomons is not very big. Â More-less a sleepy sailing town. Â It is nice but I find Kailua nicer and the water is blue!
The prices here are reasonable. Â $4 for a beer...probably much cheaper for the Budweiser. Â Not sure how much their mai tai's were, it was pre-made and I stuck to my Yuengling and free popcorn!
The Tiki Bar is a Southern Maryland staple. It's opening is something we set our calendars/clocks/watches to. Yep...the third weekend in April usually marks the chaos on Solomons Island that IS the Southern Maryland Mardi-Gras...the opening of the Tiki Bar.
Like most locals (work in DC, live in SoMD), I avoid opening weekend like the plague...though some strange part of me always wants to go. It's best left to those who have yet to experience that little bit of madness on the Point. Bring your beads...you'll get to distribute them, I promise.
But any other weekend is a good time to Tiki. Early evenings are the best time to sit around with a more local crowd, to people and boatwatch, as the sun sets. Signature drinks include the famous MaiTai and Kokomo, both mixed in plastic gallon jugs, both guaranteed to drain your wallet at $7 a pop. But for some reason, you won't mind. It's all part of the Tiki experience.
Bring your id and a good attitude. The bouncers at the Tiki Bar don't play around. If you're a punk or a total sloppy drunk, you're out. No questions asked.
New ownership brought new changes to the Tiki Bar. The thatched roof and facade has been updated, and a small beach, tobacco shop (hey this IS tobacco country!), and a gift shop have been added. The old "No-Tell Motel" attached to the back has received a facelift as well. There's also Grill Sgt. BBQ set up next door...in case you get hungry. Â And there's always the ever present bowls of popcorn on the bar, if you're brave.
All in all, the Tiki Bar and the surroundings of little Solomon's Island are a rewarding experience to anyone willing to make the drive out to the far reaches of Calvert County. It's seasonal as well, so if you drive out in November, you're going to have to wait until April for your next MaiTai fix.
It's a bar! Â It's an inn! Â It's a specialty shop! Â It's Tiki Bar!
If you've been to Key West, The Tiki Bar will remind you a little bit of it.
Everything is in a thatched hut. Â The bar is one big hut. Â You can drink under the hut. Â Or hang outside. Â Most people seem to prefer this. Â Or you can go in the backyard and just relax in the sand.
Behind the bar are inn rooms. Â Although, no one doesn't seem to be staying there. Â Across the street is a t-shirt store and a tobacco store.
I noticed after I got my drink that everyone was drinking beer. Â Well, after I had a sip of my drink, I found out why. Â Whooo! Â They make their drinks too strong. Â Long Island Tea shouldn't make me pucker my lips in distaste.
Of course, what's the Tiki Bar without a Tiki statue here and there? Â Cute place to have a beer or two with friends.
