Adrift

Tucked into the vibrant South Broadway corridor in Denver, Adrift Tiki Bar transports you into a Polynesian-inspired oasis far from urban life. With tiki décor, bamboo accents, vintage island art, and a menu of creatively balanced tropical cocktails, it leans into its theme without overdoing the kitsch. The cocktail menu is robust and adventurous. You’ll find island staples like Mai Tais, the “Adrift” signature blend, Jungle Bird, Coral Coast Margarita, and more. Many drinks use their house-made syrups, orgeat, and falernum. They also offer spirit flights, beer, wine, and a food menu of Polynesian / island-inspired small plates. Adrift’s ambiance is lively but intimate. Reviewers note that while the décor isn’t over the top “Disney tiki,” the bar feels friendly, cocktail-forward, and approachable. Some guests call it more of a “tiki restaurant” hybrid than a pure tiki lounge. Because of its moderate size, reservations are recommended (especially on weekends). The bar also plays with seasonal concepts: for example, during the holidays Adrift morphs into Snow Drift, with winter-themed decor, igloo bars, and a festive cocktail menu. In sum, Adrift is a modern tiki-bar that balances tradition with approachability. It’s a place to linger over drinks, share food, chat with bartenders, and enjoy a tropical escape in central Denver.
