Bar in West Hollywood, United States
Book with PearlWhy go
A compact speakeasy-style tiki bar above Tail o’ the Pup, built for a two-person night where the entrance, room, and rum-forward drinks are part of the value. Choose it for playful cocktails and date-night energy; pick a calmer hotel bar if conversation is the whole point.
About The Lucky Tiki
Because the available confirmed details do not verify a specific address, menu, drinks program, service style, ownership, hours, prices, seating, or reservation policy, this guide should be used as a concise planning note rather than a full review.
Use The Lucky Tiki as a West Hollywood option when a casual dress code fits the night. For anything more specific, such as what is served, how the room is set up, whether reservations are needed, or what the current hours are, confirm directly with the venue before making plans.
A West Hollywood venue with casual dress
The clearest confirmed planning detail is simple: casual dress is appropriate. That makes The Lucky Tiki easier to consider for a low-pressure stop in West Hollywood, especially when you do not want to plan around a formal dress requirement.
Other details should not be assumed from the name or from outside descriptions. This page does not verify cuisine, cocktails, food, seating style, entertainment, outdoor space, happy hour, takeout, delivery, or a specific price range.
Plan around what is confirmed, then verify the rest
If The Lucky Tiki is on your shortlist, treat the confirmed information as a starting point: it is in West Hollywood, and casual dress is acceptable. Before going, check the venue directly for current hours, entry requirements, reservations, menu details, accessibility, and any policies that may affect your visit.
For comparison, you might also consider Bar at Merois, Earthbar, Fellow Traveler, London Bar, or White Rabbit Sky Lounge, depending on the kind of outing you are planning. This guide does not verify that those venues offer the same format as The Lucky Tiki; they are simply other names to consider while planning.

Also consider
If you can’t get in
Try London Bar for a calmer, more polished West Hollywood drink, especially if the group wants easier conversation. Try Bar at Merois when the backup plan should feel more like a hotel-night splurge than a themed cocktail stop.
If the priority is staying casual, Fellow Traveler is the safer substitute. It will not replace the tiki reveal, but it is a better fit for guests who do not want the room to dominate the night.
Bar context
How it compares in West Hollywood
Earthbar is the easier daytime or wellness-leaning stop; The Lucky Tiki is the better choice when the night needs a clear theme and cocktails rather than juices or casual grab-and-go energy. For value, Lucky Tiki makes more sense if the guest wants the room and drink presentation included in the spend, not just a quick beverage.
London Bar and Bar at Merois are stronger for a polished hotel-bar mood, especially if the plan involves dressed-up drinks, a more controlled room, or a quieter date. Lucky Tiki is more playful and more specific: better for a second date or birthday-adjacent drink, less useful for business conversation.
Fellow Traveler and White Rabbit Sky Lounge sit closer to alternative cross-shops than direct replacements. Choose Fellow Traveler if the group wants a less theatrical bar night; choose White Rabbit Sky Lounge if a lounge format matters more than tiki details. Choose Lucky Tiki when the whole appeal is the hidden entrance, compact room, and rum-led menu.

Compare The Lucky Tiki
Which nearby bar should you choose?
Choose The Lucky Tiki over Earthbar when the plan is cocktails after dark rather than a functional daytime stop. Earthbar is easier for a quick, low-commitment visit; Lucky Tiki asks more planning but gives the night a stronger sense of occasion.
Choose London Bar or Bar at Merois if the date calls for a sleeker hotel setting. Choose The Lucky Tiki if the better outcome is a playful room, rum-forward drinks, and a short built-in adventure before the first round.
Fellow Traveler is the better fallback for guests who want less theme and more flexibility. White Rabbit Sky Lounge is the better cross-shop when lounge atmosphere matters more than a compact speakeasy setup.
