Fresh off of its 60th anniversary, the iconic tiki bar and restaurant has no plans of hanging up the hula skirt anytime soon. Kon Tiki, located near the corner of Broadway Boulevard and Swan Road, continues to be an indoor tropical paradise serving Luau Platters and cocktails in big goblets.
Now, there’s something new to do on Sunday evenings. Move over, “Sunday Scaries” because “Truly Tiki Nights” are here to prolong your weekend every Sunday night from 7 – 11 p.m.
The new weekly feature happens once a week at 4625 E. Broadway Blvd. and includes live DJs playing “vintage exotica, surf, and other tropical tunes.” You’re encouraged to dress for the occasion, too, in your favorite retro tropical attire.
“It’s especially ideal for those who love the traditional, mid-century tiki bar atmosphere,” said Ramsey Borrego of Kon Tiki. “Kon Tiki opened its doors in 1963 and is one of the very few original tiki bars in America — a true vintage gem in Tucson. Even though the view is always tropical, Truly Tiki Nights are a fun way to get the full tiki experience. Come lounge like it’s 1963!”
Also, every Truly Tiki Night features three different vintage cocktails and the regular dining menu is available from 7 – 11 p.m.
“Expect more from Kon Tiki throughout 2024,” Borrego added. “Lots of fun things on the way, new menus, features, and online merch to name a few. See you Sundays!”
Kon Tiki Restaurant & Lounge is located at 4625 E. Broadway Blvd. For more information, visit kontikitucson.com and follow Kon Tiki on Instagram.
