Tiki Rock events are usually unique and unforgettable. Please complete the form on their website and they will contact you as soon as possible. Tiki Rock has been serving classic and proprietary tiki cocktails crafted with fresh juices, handmade syrups, and unusual garnishes at 2 Broad St. Tiki Rock, which launched in Boston in 2018, blew any leftover winter blues away with a barrage of the best tiki drinks. It features tiki-style totem poles, bright blue bar stools, orange banquettes, and hand-painted scenes. Freshly produced juices and syrups are available in the central bar, complementing a menu of fun and classic tiki-style cocktails. A bright beacon beckons in downtown Boston if you're seeking for a break from the cold and perhaps more ice this weekend. Eater Boston reports that Tiki Rock debuted on Broad Street earlier this week. Tropical rain falls against illuminated Polynesian figures in Tiki Rock's entryway, flanking a carved wooden door. There are bright blue bar stools and orange banquettes inside the dining room, as well as hand-painted images by Boston artist Joanna Ciampa, carved tiki-style totem poles, and a wall of scallop shells collected by Straub's mother in Chatham. Tiki Rock is the idea of general manager Christopher Straub, who took over The Place's former location at 2 Broad St. and hired Moe Kuroki to run Oisa Ramen in the adjacent space. Straub brings years of Hyatt Hotel experience to the project. As beverage director, Charles Smedile (Uni, Clio, Waypoint) comes on board, as is chef de cuisine Matt McPherson (South End Buttery, Porto) and sushi chef Minggan "Tony" Wu.
