This was a fantastic Friday night! Sam on the piano is just incredible. She's not only an absolute talent, but was delightful and fun and really held the room. And Paige on the drums totally killed. Three hours went by way too fast!

Hidden Jem, perfect for a drink after a Broadway show 🪩🍹 This bar has live music in the style of a piano bar where you can send requests and sing along with the musician. I came here with friends after watching a musical and it was the perfect way to finish the night

Drinks and vibe here are immaculate. Such a vibe for after a show or before dinner. Bartenders were fabulous! Prices were fair!!

Friki Tiki is a true hidden gem! The frozen Paloma is a guilty pleasure of mine. Their food is mostly small plates but you can fill up on them. Great live music and DJs!

Amazing drinks, fresh oysters, friendly staff and a fun atmosphere. The Friki Tiki is a great place to have a drink and enjoy the space. Was lucky to have live music on the piano when I went. Great time and highly recommend!

The manager and security guard of this place talk rudely. If you have eaten and paid the bill, they do not let you sit. If you cannot order anything else, then you should leave from here. They say this and drive everyone away. And after they not showing his face in front of of cameras. So its my request don’t go this place . Thank you

Total dive tiki bar with decent drinks. Enjoyed the atmosphere. They had a perfectly irreverent piano guy on my visit. Totally fun. But unexpected was the burger. A true fizznucking medium and like something make at home. Delicious.

So happy I stumbled upon this place a few weeks ago! It’s right next to the theater district so it’s a fabulous place for pre-show drinks in a fun environment. The happy hour drinks are delicious and the atmosphere makes you feel like you are entering an exclusive tiki lounge. I’ve been back several times and the service is always amazing and makes you feel welcomed. Most recently we went to celebrate my friend who is getting married and the whole staff (including the piano player) made her feel extra special. Huge thanks to the Friki Tiki staff 😊

I’ve visited this bar dozens of times; I live on the block. Some nights this place is absolutely amazing— the energy in the room is so great when there’s a talented singer on the piano and the room are making requests, singing along. (Samantha Sayeh on Fridays is a particular highlight.) I have to be honest though, whenever I get to the base of the stairs and see they’ve booked a DJ playing loud dance music with a writhing mess of drunken frat kids I turn on my heel and walk back up the stairs. This place shines when it sets itself apart from every other noisy bar in the city, lazily blasting tacky pop songs from speakers.

The service here is wonderful, all the bartenders are attentive and make pretty good drinks. They even had music on the night I went, live music with requests on the piano, cool tiki island vibe, somewhat hidden and dimmer lit.

Oh my gosh we loved the Friki Tiki…what a treat! The Friki Tiki is a tiny bar featuring a piano sing-along. We dropped in on a Thursday right before the music started and we got the last table. The music kicked off at 8 with a broadway veteran at the piano, Donnie Kehr, who absolutely rocked the room from the first note. The crowd had a great time and stuck around pretty well until 1030. It was a school night after all. The tiki drinks were good enough. The place so much fun. We will return without question.

Close to the buzz of midtown without all the chaos! This was such a fun place for me and my friend to casually catch up. Great food with a great menu, and the music is awesome but not overbearing. I wouldn't say this is where you go to party or dance- more casual.

Amazing cocktails and the vibes were very much up. Our waiter Henry was amazing and added energy to our experience. This is a funky bar to go to!

Bartenders are cool. They have a piano guy that knows how to vibe with the crowd. Drinks and food were just okay.
