Awesome place

Staff all kind,felt safe,came to see Mariah Mayhem

Stopped by because this part of the St Patty's Day Pub Crawl. Our group ended up spending a really long time here. We enjoy the Tiki flights so much!! Each drink was better than the last We also had the best chicken katsu! It was perfectly crispy, not greasy and a perfect size. The big surprise were the beef tater tots that were unbelievably delicious!! I didn't get a picture because once every one in our group had one, we couldn't stop eating until the tots were gone. We usually go to another nearby Tiki place but I think this may be out new spot I'm looking forward to repeating the experience!!

In San Jose for the Super Bowl, visiting from Seattle, and my guy John told me to hit Tiki Pete because it’s like Ohana’s back home—and he wasn’t lying. Pulled up with my friend from Tampa, Florida and walked straight into DJ Escobar (Future’s DJ) on the decks. Absolute vibes. Bartenders were mad cool and those watermelon margaritas were 🔥🔥. Everybody was friendly, welcoming, and treated us like family. Music, drinks, energy—all on point. Tiki Pete is a must.

Fun

Had a great time! The drinks, the music, and the service was great. Highly recommend.

Yeah the guava one had my attention

Great food. Highly recommend the wings. Cocktails are amazing as well

The ambiance was not matching my personality, however the pina coladas were on point! And the ribs were to die for.

Great vibes especially on Saturday nights when DJ Cilla in the building its great music.

Live Music. The band sounded good.

Good place to hang out very chill

Great time and great bartenders

Tiki style theme (full) bar. Plenty of parking. Easy access. Serve some of the best Hawaiian food in the valley. Small stage/dance floor for local bands. Cool place.

Had a great time at Tiki Pete. Stopped in town for my sister's bday and found ourselves here!! They had live shows going on that night with local rap artists from the Bay!! We met the owner Pete...he was so awesome that he invited us to come the next day and hooked it up with free shots and his house special bottle of liquor for us to take home! Will definitely stop by again! Much Alofaz and Alohaz!!

Very cool venue with live music, delicious food and drinks

Great lil Kik it spot after work for drinks, food is good. Hostess had great cs skills . Very friendly n sweet. Would definitely go back!!

Great place, friendly staff, had a lot of fun with friends and family. Chill prices, what you would expect from a downtown establishment. 10/10 would recommend.

The hospitality here on point... Jessica, Natalie and Bett are your bartenders and server to look forward to.. definitely I'm coming back. Did I mention the live music funtimes if you're looking for it.

Live Latin Band every 3rd week of the month. Great ambience, crowd, and attentive staff. Drinks were delicious too.

Super friendly, great service. Well executed tiki drinks

I left my debit card with the club for a week only because I for got I have over 6 figures with that card I’m so happy they held it down for me I’m from Rhode Island the east coast and I appreciate all the love this spot showed me 🤞🏻

First-time here and i loved it. Been looking for a good pina colada for the last 30 years. Found it. Cozy atmosphere and family owned. Yes, check it out. 😁👍👍

Wonderful experience. Be sure to check out our barbershop.

I hate to possibly reveal my secret ..but for the sake of wishing nothing but great things for Tiki Pete's ..let me say now ..it is THE place to go pre game for the Sharks or group parties ..any night ..any reason TP's is MONEY!! The food is amazing and authentic the staff is top notch and I can tell you flat out ..any reason and any day if someone asks me where to go or where to meet up ..it is Tiki Pete...Aloha!!!!

I was there for a family fundraiser function....had a blast!! From 209 to 408 this was the spot! Friendly staff and reasonable prices for drinks!! Had the 7.1 Kalihi drink...and it was delish! Mahalo and Talofa

I had a fantastic time at Tiki Pete! The decor is so unique and interesting, and it really adds to the atmosphere of the bar. The DJ was okay, but the real star of the show was the cocktail flight - it was a must try! I loved trying all the different flavors and combinations. The crowd was nice and friendly, and it was a great place to dance too. Overall, I highly recommend Tiki Pete for a fun night out with friends or a special occasion. Can't wait to go back!

We had an absolutely wonderful waitress and she was so sweet and did everything she could to make it right for everybody. I didn't catch her name but she was a tall lovely lady and I think she had an accent. We had family come in from Illinois and we took them there for dinner and they really enjoyed the food and the wonderful service. Thank you

If you are looking for a great night out with your girlfriends or partner and love listening to reggae.. psssstt this is the go to spot for that kind of party 😄 My sister took me here for the first time and I had a blast !! Not to mention the live musicians that come here and play omgosh !! I was at a concert that night for sure.. let's not forget about those delicious and awesome drinks the ladies know how to make and that yummy yummy food! For sure going back !! ❤️❤️❤️ I also got to meet the amazing owners of this place such sweethearts!! 🌊🌴🏝️🛤️

Fun place to get great rum drinks. The decor is on point and fun!

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and the Hawaiian pork nachos hit the spot. Nice music selection and friendly and attentive staff.

Great place cozy and quiet place.

Great Fish Tacos!

Its a vibe... Whatever it is, thats what it is.

Fun

Friendly

Friendly staff, good drinks, good music

Great place and drinks

Friendly service, boozy tiki bowls, tropical island decor.

Food serving quick. Customer service and food server friendly .

Wish they served cocktails in Hawaiian style

Fun, Hawaiian-themed spot! I've only tried the appetizers and found the coconut shrimp and friend prawns too sweet. Huge selection of alcoholic drinks, including beer and cocktails.

Had a good time with some friends at karaoke

I really liked the atmosphere, food, and drinks here. The spicy chicken was seasoned just right (perfect level of spice and flavour!), the selection of beers was more than adequate, and the staff were extremely nice when I visited. It's in a pretty convenient location, too.

I really liked the food (I had the flamin' Mahi salad) and the drinks here, though the service was unfortunately a bit slow. I enjoy tiki-style places and decor, though this is a larger establishment than other similar places around. It can handle big groups as well as couples pretty easily.

Not really great, but ambiance is good. Didn't like the drinks and entry fee was quite expensive. Dj Neel was so bad for Bollywood night. Otherwise ok

The Drinks were good but the food wasn't that great. The servers are friendly & nice. They also have a DJ(they play reggae). I would recommend this place for their drinks

Open bar for an event, i xant complain.

Great atmosphere. Meals were too small for my liking. But maybe just not my place

Nice place, but service was a bit slow and me and my partner were the only ones wearing masks, however.

Fun atmosphere but food was so-so, and took forever to get to the table. I think it would be a good place for a drink with friends. Not great for food.

It was alright , dj kept playing boring music and same songs over and over the rappers there weren't all that great either but the vibe and everything else was lit!!

The Tiki drinks are pretty good, but I would avoid the club hours or bring ear plugs and don't expect to have a conversation about how good your maitai is.

Something has changed here since most of the reviews. It's still mostly a tiki bar but the menu has changed and the outside dining and seating is gone. The staff was very friendly. The place could use a good scrubbing down especially the entrance. The plants and decorations are in need of refurbishing.

Drink Need To Be Stornger

. This club double charges for everything 20 dollar plus for entrance even when u have a 200 dollar table reserved. Security and staff weren't very welcoming either ...

The place is all right and the staff is friendly but the cocktails are pure trash. Do not.

Rice was mushy and the eggs were overcooked. Loco Moco is supposed to have runny egg yokes.

The girl who helped us was nice but wait time was really long and there was nobody there but two other people besides me and my cousin. All of the staff decided to take their break at the same time and there was nobody attending the bar for a good 20 minutes.

Love the music. It could be faster at getting drinks out. It's hit or miss, sometimes it's poppin but lots of times it's dead! The woman's bathroom is always messed up too

This place used to be the best place to get drinks but honestly it's gone so downhill. The drinks are not representative of the reviews and it's honestly not worth coming here anymore; which is incredibly sad to say.

I used to love this place and stop in for drinks before every sharks game. I came to find out that they changed how they make their drinks and I no longer find it worth while to come in. Really disappointed because this place used to be a gem

Food was alright , drinks tasted like rubbing alcohol. Got seated and pretty much had to track down our server multiple times to get a drink and to order more food. Tried to go give this business more money but they seemed to careless.

What a scam. At the door you're greeted with a "$10 cover charge" in the form of a ticket for a "free shot" (rum, tequila, ect) which they won't allow to be used for the cocktails from menu or any other drink. That's a nice scam selling a $20 bottle of spirits for about $400 by the shot. Nice "tiki decor" and food items selection. My first time and total disappointment with how the management handles access to the establishment. This "disguised cover charge " is due primarily due to having some average DJ there to provide entertainment spinning some tunes.

Get into this restaurant if you love the smell of weed, loud music and weird ambience 🙄 We ordered Flamin Wings, thinking that it will be hot but the wings dipped into the Sugary BbQ sauce, too sweet and bitter. Small portion size! I would recommend this place for drinks but not for Food. Terrible !!!

If you like cigarette and marijuana as a constant chaser to your drink and food, this is the place for you. Absolutely terrible.

This is not the tiki bar you are looking for. Go one block west.

A complete DIVE. Not a Tiki Bar i would ever go to again. That being said two in our party loved the cheap drinks, seedy environment and obnoxious loud music. But not a Tiki Bar in the classic cool sense of what “Tiki Bar” means to me.

This resto is good for events. I tried their mai tai is too sweet. Calamari and fried avocado is too dark and bitter... not appetizing at all. I had a couple of bites and thats it.

We came to Tiki Pete excited to discover a new tiki spot while exploring San Jose. The bouncer and bartender were both super friendly, and the décor hit the right bamboo-and-aloha notes… until you noticed the giant TVs blasting UFC fights. Imagine a sports bar that raided Party City’s tiki aisle and you’ll get the vibe. Now, onto the drinks. Oh boy. Small, pricey, and shockingly bad. My Dirty Shirley (which, to be fair, the bartender did warn me about) tasted exactly like expired cough syrup. The “passionfruit” margarita was more scented-marker than cocktail — zero lime, zero tequila, zero passionfruit. And then there was the Painkiller. We judge a tiki bar by its Painkiller, and this was hands-down the worst we’ve ever had. Somehow it managed to taste like sweet parmesan cheese. Yes, you read that right: cheesy. Sweet. Parmesan. We left in search of palate cleansers and possibly forgiveness from the tiki gods. Great staff, fun décor, but unless you enjoy overpriced cough syrup and cheesy cocktails, maybe stick to beer.

The food was not good at all. We had to wait over 40 minutes for our food; and the smell was retched in the place. Obnoxiously loud music, bad food, and the strong smell of cigarettes makes me never want to go back to this place.
