I don't get all the hate on here - y'all really made my vacation pre-planning tough.
This is a normal beach bar. I found the service to be extremely attentive (considering), the drinks to be strong, creative and delicious and the live music an excellent touch (usually I'm not a big fan of live music but the guy they had the day I was there was excellent and played a nice variety). Prices were about what I expected - not bad - and the location right on the beach is prime! There's nothing better than enjoying the ocean with a cold one.
I had the privilege of being at the famous Tiki Hut yesterday for a few hours! I think it should promptly be renamed The TIKI HOT!!!! Â The drinks are as plentiful as the beautiful people! Â Looking for a refreshing drink..try the Watermelon. Â Yep...just tell the bartender..."I'll have the watermelon!" Â The experience was rounded out with live music. Â I love to be outside and this is a perfect place to take in some eye candy, delicious drinks and sweet melodies!
Review Source:Not sure why people bash this place. Â It's my favorite place to sit on the island. Â Always good cocktails and friendly service. Â Cliff is a rock star and so is Laci. Â Talk sports with Terry Hall. Â With regard to ELLE MARIE's post above, JOANN is the MANAGER not the bartender. Â She runs in and out all the time doing paperwork, etc. Â She gets there at 6am and works very long hours.
Review Source:The drinks were delicious! However, I wasn't to impressed by the service. My boyfriend and I set down and started looking over the drink menu, the one guy behind the bar handed us a printed menu, then once we decided after a few minutes, he never came back to us. They kept helping everyone around us & we had to flag them down.
Review Source:boyfriend wrote the prior review, and i suspected he probably trashed this place...that said, i grew up coming to hilton head every 3 day weekend (or longer) we got, and the tiki hut will always hold a special place in my heart...
the location is awesome, right on the beach by the public access at coligny (although it is part of a holiday inn thats super gross..at least from the outside), and after supporting the 'save the tiki hut' when per usual people wanted to buy the holiday inn and tiki hut to bulldoze them and build condos, i will continue to support the tiki hut since its survival....that said, yes the drinks are virgin and overpriced, but its a tourist trap, so what can you expect?? although i guess with holiday inn value would come to mind...
Good location and good drinks if youre wanting virgin drinks for the cost of high dollar alcoholic ones.
If you dont like this, like me, dont ask the waoitress for more alcohol or youll get a lecture that frozen drinks arent supposed to be strong. Really? Because Im pretty sure a shot of alcohol is a shot of alcohol whether it goes in to a blender or on ice.
