The editorial take
Frankie's Tiki Room pours a focused tiki cocktail program built around named classics and house originals. The menu splits 'Frankie's Original Tiki Drinks' from 'Classic Tiki Drinks,' so you can compare a Zombie, Lapu Lapu, or Nui Nui against the bar's own compositions. The Zombie combines rums and juices; the Lapu Lapu layers light and dark rums with passion fruit, orange, and pineapple; the Nui Nui brings gold rum, orange, lime, cinnamon, and vanilla. Customers consistently call the drinks delicious and well-made, and note that prices are reasonable compared to Strip venues.
