Frankie's Tiki Room

Great atmosphere here. Off the strip, so it's a good place to get away from the usual crowd. Video poker machines in the bar if you still want to gamble. Great bar service and cool decor. Make the effort to jump in a taxi and come here, you won't be disappointed, especially if you need a change of scene from the strip. Smoking is fine here, quite a small badly ventilated place, so keep that in mind if you're sensitive.

The lady bartender duo, which works Friday nights, for sure, is amazing! They are very friendly, extremely fast without being sloppy and very knowledgeable when it comes to cocktail recipes, Tiki and otherwise. Frankie's also has the best-stocked bar in town. Whatever your poison is, they have it. Disaronno, my personal fave--no problem. Last but not least, their prices are quite reasonable. Your average specialty cocktail here is $12. Overall, Frankie's offers the best Tiki experience in town-- the drinks aren't pure ice as they are at another very popular Tiki bar in town, the decor is great, seating options are diverse and the jukebox is eclectic.

Had a group of folks choose Frankie's for a post-Black Hat gathering. It was very dark inside, the gaming machines took up the entire bar so if you weren't gambling you're relegated to a few of the remaining tables around the room which is a pretty difficult feat considering how busy the place was for its size. The music was not overwhelming, while smoking is allowed it wasn't overly smokey, and the TV was flipping between a John Lennon documentary, a Hawaiian travel advertisement, and Batman the Animated Series, which honestly I really appreciated. Once it filled to near capacity, it did become more difficult to hear one another. The drinks were great, and everyone seemed to have a positive review of the ones they chose, but the standout that everyone loved was the Tiki Bandit.
