So this place may or may not have the cheapest drinks on Junkanoo beach, but we don’t know! They were literally the first folks we met when we got over there, and they were amazing! They offered very sincere honest service, and they were a riot to hang out with! The drinks were spot on, and worth the price. Everyone should try the “ginger switcher”! It’s fantastic - I think I found a new favorite! Thank you so much to Kyla, Robert, and the others for showing us such a fun time on Junkanoo beach! We are definitely hoping to return!

A friend who has a home in Nassau told us about this place and it didn't disappoint. I ordered a pina colada daq and the bartender made it with fresh coconut and it was amazing! There was only one bartender but the wait wasn't that long considering - well worth it!

I visited this beach bar about four years ago when it was just a small hut and had A BLAST! The employees were nice and Byron, the owner, showed us a wonderful time as if we were family. I ranted and raved about how great this place was back then and four years later IT’S EVEN BETTER!!!! My family and I arrived in Nassau and HAD to go back to The Tiki Bikini Hut and see Byron. This time when we arrived, the hut has grown about five times in size, has free WiFi, outdoor flat screen TVs, cabanas on the beach, a full staff of employees, kitchen with full menu (everything is awesome but of course order the conch), live music/karaoke, and it’s still RIGHT ON THE BEACH. We found Byron- being Byron- attentive, nice, smiling and making sure everyone was satisfied and having the time of their life. When we yelled his name he greeted us with open arms and if he didn’t remember us- you couldn’t tell because he gave us the same “family” energy and showed us a great time once again. I am SO proud to see his business grow into what it has now and I pray it continues to expand. To see his accomplishment in four years provides hope and faith for my own! ANYTIME I’m in Nassau I will always go support The Tiki Bikini Hut. I’m pretty sure this is the BEST beach bar in Nassau.
