Mai Tai Bar leans into rum-forward tiki cocktails, with a happy hour that puts several classics at $8. The menu spans frozen margaritas, jungle birds, and a lineup of mai tai variations. Beer and nonalcoholic options are present but secondary. For tiki fans, this is a straightforward, affordable stop.
