"Tiki Ti is far from the picture of Hollywood glamour, or the tourist trap nightmare of Hollywood Boulevard itself. It's located on a mostly desolate strip of Sunset between the city's Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and East Hollywood neighborhoods. Driving by it would be easy to miss the tiny bar, but wedged next to the Scientology Media Productions studios, a (currently empty) cannabis dispensary, and a cool-sculpting fat removal service, the location does have a certain grim LA character."
"Step in and you'll find a cozy tiki nirvana, packed with a charming clutter of faux-island decor that has slowly evolved since the bar was opened in 1961. As far as most bars go, even dives, Tiki-Ti is tiny, with a small bar, only a handful of tables, and room for maybe a few dozen people. But that small space is packed with Hollywood history, and some pretty damn good tiki drinks."
The best dive bars balance cheap drinks, good vibes, and a strong sense of place. Tiki-Ti sits on a mostly desolate stretch of Sunset Boulevard between Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and East Hollywood, next to the Scientology Media Productions studios, a (currently empty) cannabis dispensary, and a cool-sculpting fat removal service, giving the exterior a grim Los Angeles character. Inside, the bar is a cozy tiki nirvana filled with charming faux-island decor that has slowly evolved since 1961. The space is tiny with a small bar, only a handful of tables, and room for maybe a few dozen people. Tiki-Ti offers relatively affordable drinks and deep ties to tiki history through founder Ray Buhen, a Filipino bartender who worked for Donn Beach and helped develop signature tropical creations, including the zombie cocktail.
