Tiki Bikini Hut

Nassau


The only place on Junkanoo Beach that regularly stays open after the cruise-ship crowds depart, Tiki Bikini is an open-sided palapa-style thatch place with an island bar, cold beer, cocktails and a monster menu of seafood, pizza and Bahamian staples – the generous conch salad comes with the shell.

The bar has expanded over the years into a happening evening venue with open-mic nights, karaoke, soca and, on weekends, live music. Cocktails from BS$10.
