Great knowledgeable staff! Good tasting drinks. The decor feels a little more New Orleans rush street bar than tiki, but once inside the dive bar kicks in and you’re there for a good time.

Super cute themed bar in SF, the vibe is amazing, the cocktails are incredible, the staff is super nice and friendly, I really recommend this little gem in SF.

Best green tea shots I’ve had in my entire life! Shout out to their bartenders. Well balanced drinks - flavor and all! 🤌🏼 Ambience: think chill vibes + neon lights

Bamboo Hut serves up colorful tropical cocktails in a colorful tropical atmosphere, and maybe I’m just a sucker for bright lights, good music, and boozy banana-based concoctions in a glass with parasol-shaded little plastic monkeys lining the rim but… I find it pretty easy to have a good time here, and I’m guessing you will too.

Lovely little hideaway. To grab some phenomenal tiki drinks made by possibly the best bartender to ever exist. Genuinely, a relaxing vibe is going on in there. Loved the little pufferfish lights and the giant tiki head to take photos by. The drinks we had were phenomenal, and the rest on the menu sounded great, too. Out of the few we've been to, I would recommend this one if you were looking to grab a drink and just relax either alone or with a few close friends.

Last night my friends had a table at a nearby (not to be named) bar that would not let me bring my backpack in. So I go to bamboo hut and ask if they’ll hold it. They at first say no (I don’t blame them, I wasn’t buying anything and it was a busy Friday night) Out of desperation I offered to pay them $100 to hold it The woman goes to talk to the manager / owner, who comes up and says they’ll hold it. Then they refused my money. Both of them. It was a kind, simple interaction that really made the night of a stranger (me). This review is the least I can do; these are good people

The bartenders are warm, welcoming and efficient, The drinks match the great vibes, the dj read the room and, had everyone enjoying themselves in the best tiki bar I've ever been. I've been here twice and will definitely be back! 10/10

Went on Friday Feb 10, 2023 and this place was THE place to be!! Diverse, fun crowd, and great upbeat music that folks were singing along and dancing to. I tried their mai tais, margaritas, and bowls, and they were delicious. I had my birthday party here and Daniel the GM really made it special for my friends and me, setting aside a private booth for us to celebrate. I'm definitely going to be hosting more events and partying here again!

Maybe this review is a little biased, but I always love whatever music the DJ is playing. Some of the inspired drinks are too sweet for my liking, but others are fine. On top of that, there's a cool crowd of people that I happen to meet, so all of this combined has me coming back

The safest bar in North Beach! If you have any issues, let the bartenders know and said persons will be removed. Great drinks, amazing DJs, and the best Bartenders in the city! One of the best Mai Tai’s I’ve had and the volcano bowls are (on) fire 🔥!

a lot of tropical cocktails for every taste. very tropical vibe inside, the only thing missing is tropical style seating and tables. most cocktails are made with pineapple and coconut. one of the minuses was a boring DJ who played terrible, boring music

The atmosphere and bar itself was so much fun, the bar staff was incredibly friendly and kind. However, we paid for a private party and the DJ refused to take requests. I understand it is under his discretion to play what he wants, but he refused to play the songs the private party requested. I personally asked him to play a song and he told me he would, I never heard the song so I went back to him to ask about it playing and he told me it was going to be played soon. I never heard the song and when I asked him one more time, he said it’s no longer within your parties time frame and I can play whatever I want. I said that’s disappointing because I asked him to play the song during our private party event at this bar and he told me that’s not longer his problem and he was extremely rude. Very disappointing because this bar and the rest of the staff were amazing, but this DJ was rude and a real let down. Especially for how much money we spent for this bar for a birthday party. Do not suggest the bar hires this DJ again based on how he talked to customers.

3 stars for only having beer available when I visited. Also it was about 10:30pm and “Everybody Hurts” by R.E.M. comes on and I look up and it’s just me, my beer and the bartender. Nothing particularly wrong with any of those it’s just not the tiki bar vibe I thought this place was supposed to have.

Great tiki vibes and solid drinks.

Good bartender. We went into this place for the first time just after it opened so for a minute it was just the three of us. Can't tell you what it's like when it's full. Without people, Bamboo Hut is very much a standard bar with some sweet drinks on the menu and a large tiki head on the wall.

Nice decoration inside and good location; but really unprofessional management. I got hit by the weirdly located stuff/storage room door which is right next to men's bathroom (I guess by mistake), and while talking to the employee who hit me with the door, the manager arrives and shove me to a side and hit me again with the door. Now this time instead of simply apologizing, the manager escalate it to a whole lot dramatic level. I chose to leave the bar without using the bathroom and without finishing my drink; but I just wanted to let others know that if something happens, they won't treat you with respect or dignity. Here are some pictures as a proof that I was there and wasted some time in that bar.

The most anti-social bar I have ever been to! I was here half an hour to an hour after they opened for the day- no wonder no one was here! The doorman/bartender/owner spoke maybe a dozen words to me the entire time I was there.

This is not a tiki bar. This a loud dive bar with a dj and obnoxious people dancing and inappropriately touching others as they walk in. No menus anywhere and no way to even talk to the bar tender over the music. Tiki bars are not night clubs.

Horrible, horrible place. They party all the night long. It’s impossible to sleep if you live nearby. Outrageous behaviour.
