Tiki Cocktail Lounge

Most Exelante as Always. This Place Tiki s has a facility that is clean and comfortable at the price. That is equal w the Competition of other Motels in MODESTO. There is a adjoining public Social Watering Hole(BAR) next door. Very good atmosphere w/a Beer garden. Well Managed Place also. The staff is friendly and kind and runs their buissness very professionally as I have been a visitor and neighbor for 2 years.

This place has really gone downhill. It wants to be a nightclub when it grows up, but what it is, has been, and excels at being is a neighborhood bar. The drinks keep getting weaker while the prices keep going up. When the owners realize that what they have is a good neighborhood gay bar, it'll be a nice place to go. Until then, it's just a sad little nightclub.

We arrived in Modesto from Dallas late. This bar sits surrounded by a motel (Tiki Motel). We thought about staying at the motel, then walking over to bar- lol- my husband goes to the motel window, presents his Texas ID, and the motel manager says, “you don’t wanna stay here or any motel on McHenry. There’s lots of drugs, we do family relocation, and the police are here all the time.” He suggested places out on Hwy 99- which we did find! Thank you! After in our hotel we went back to the bar. We had been traveling all day and needed a few drinks before calling it a night. We parked out back. Parking is tiny. Based upon our prior research- this is the “best gay bar” in Modesto. It looked kinda “dive bar”- but we do “dive bar well” First in you are “hard carded” for ID- then metal detector run over you. That’s wild! Only in REALLY BAD dive bars have we ever seen this. We took a seat at the bar. The chairs/stools are something right outta “Pier one imports“ - the padding’s on the bar edges terribly worn out. The seating in back is red and worn- inside is TINY! This place is small! We had a few drinks and crowd began to pickup. Most seemed like your typical “Jr college rural” crowd. The bar is definitely “dive bar quality”. If this is “the best in Modesto”- I’m terrified at what the other looks like. There were some local street “urchins” from the tiki hotel wandering around- so I guess the metal detector makes sense. This is a rough part of town it seems- based upon our observations and what we were told. Drinks were on par with most bars in price and quality- we left before midnight as to not risk being in the area to long.

You guys are dangerous. Driving for Uber last night I picked up a guy and his sister from your bar and the girl was so drunk her brother carried her out. She was completely unconscious coming out of the bar, the entire ride home when she threw up in my car and then her brother carried her in the house. If her brother wasn't there would you have taken care of you'r customers? Oh I highly doubt that as I stopped being a customer there years ago for your sloppy bartending and customer service.
