1. Tiki Tatsu-ya
South Lamar
Tiki Tatsu-Ya needs very little introduction. This new tiki bar on South Lamar from the team behind Ramen Tatsu-Ya, Kemuri Tatsu-Ya, and DipDipDip Tatsu-Ya is the hot ticket in town right now. If you’ve been lucky enough to snag a coveted Resy, lord it over your friends as you enjoy these unique takes on classic tiki cocktails — like painkillers made with shiro-miso coconut cream — and tasty Japanese-Hawaiian bites in this multi-level tiki bar (one of the floors is a cave). And if you weren’t able to grab a reservation, don’t worry — they accept a limited number of walk-ins each day.
