While there are plenty of restaurants and bars in the area that have a beachy, tropical vibe, this blog post is specifically a list of the best places that have a classic thatched-roof tiki. There are a ton of great waterfront bars and restaurants that don’t fit into this category, but Palm Beach County is home to some of the best tiki bars in Florida, so we made a list just for them.

There’s a certain atmosphere that locals and visitors alike love about tiki bars. You can sit and relax in the shade on a hot day, or you can dance your heart away on a lively night out. What’s great about our area is that each tiki bar brings something different to the table.
