   My wife and I were excited to try this place since, as locals, we love the other tiki bars in town. We made a reservation that we ended up not needing as there were barely five tables occupied at 7pm on a Friday night when we got there. The place felt very empty. Slow season or sign of trouble? The atmosphere and decor is definitely tiki and still fairly well done, but not as overall interesting as others we’ve been to. The drinks we had were ok, but were not the quality I expected for the price. It seemed they are picking very mainstream, mass-produced rums (Bacardi, Pussers) for their drinks that they can get a deal on from the distributor. I do have to give them props for their tiki mugs though. Those were very fun and creative! Presentation was great. For food, we ordered their Pupu Platter, and that was overall pretty good, but the wings (which make up about half the platter) were pretty hot, even choosing the less spicy sauce option. You wouldn’t expect that from pineapple BBQ sauce, and neither did we! The watermelon on the platter was actually served as a nice relief from the heat. Fortunately the rest of the platter was decent, although pretty expensive for how little food you actually get. For having hardly any tables to attend to, the service was also not great. Our drinks were empty for quite a while after we finished them and finished eating, which led to our decision not to order a second drink. We had been looking forward to our visit to Glitter Gulch since before it opened, but left overall disappointed. I hope to see some improvement from this place as they settle in, but as it stands now, there are better tiki experiences in town that should be higher on your list.

   Thank you for your detailed review, Will. We’re sorry to hear your experience at Glitter Gulch didn’t meet expectations. While we’re glad you enjoyed the tiki mugs and presentation, we understand your concerns about the drink quality, rum selection, and food portions. The unexpected spice level and lack of attentiveness, especially with few tables occupied, is something we’ll address with our team. We appreciate your feedback and hope to improve as we continue to refine the experience. If you decide to visit again, we’d love the opportunity to provide a better experience.

   Our experience was no experience because when we arrived, the place was closed for a private event. Kinda crappy to allow bookings and not contact people to let them know of a private event.

   Thanks for the review, Val. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience caused during your visit to Glitter Gulch Tiki. It's certainly not the norm for us to hold private events when our doors are open to the public. We understand how frustrating that must have been for you. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with the quality service we're known for.

   Reservations were no good. A private event cancelled us on Valentines Day after paying downtown parking. We ended up going to another tiki bar.

   Great service, good drinks served in fun mugs and garnished nicely!, Food was really good and beautifully presented! Bit sparse as a "TiKi bar". Would love to see custom mugs/stir sticks.

   It is a fun vibe! Drinks are strong and snacks were good. Service was just okay and we definitely didn’t need a reservation on a Friday night.

   Very fun bar/restauarant. The service was excellent and drinks are fun. Each is served in a unique tiki glass. They also have several vegetarian options on their menu.

   The staff here is AMAZING!! Some of the drinks are pre batched but the bartenders are more than willing to help make you a drink with what they have. My thanks to Jason and Cesar!!

   Our server Haley was amazing and absolutely the sweetest person. Our group was large and had some executives from MgM Resorts who can be, a lot. She handled them with grace. While we were the only one in on a Sunday night I was surprised by how long it took to get drinks to the table. Atmosphere is very cute, space is smaller than I expected and drink for downtown tiki seemed reasonable. What was not reasonable was the cost of the mugs we purchased to take home. $70?! Had a good time will probably come back with more locals.

    The ambiance and decor is really great, the severs and staff were all very nice. But other drinks were terrible, flavors didn’t match descriptions and were expensive for not getting a good drink. If they can get this piece right this will be a go to stop, until then we probably won’t be back.
