The Golden Tiki

 A favorite tiki bar among locals

The Golden Tiki, nestled in the heart of Las Vegas at 3939 Spring Mountain Rd, is a vibrant oasis for music lovers seeking an escape from the ordinary. This world-famous tiki bar is renowned for its eclectic mix of live music and DJ sets that keep the energy flowing well into the night. With a capacity of just 150, it offers an intimate setting where guests can get up close and personal with performers while sipping on flaming cocktails. 

One of the standout features of The Golden Tiki is its commitment to showcasing a diverse range of musical genres. From island rhythms and retro surf to modern house and indie-pop, there’s something for everyone on their ever-evolving calendar. Resident Advisor highlights the venue’s after-hours happy hour and credits local selector Sojourner for curating eclectic house-music sessions that draw both tourists and off-duty hospitality workers. 

These mid-week house sets are a particular highlight, running from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. and offering free entry on a first-come-first-served basis. It’s one of the few reliable weeknight dance spots west of the Strip, making it a favorite among locals looking to let loose without breaking the bank. But it’s not just about electronic beats at The Golden Tiki. 

Songkick aggregates upcoming concerts that feature everything from surf-rock trios to reggae cover bands and occasional indie-pop one-offs. Ticket prices are reasonable, typically ranging between $10 and $25, with advance purchase recommended due to limited capacity. Instagram posts from @goldentiki confirm recurring live sets such as “Gilligan’s Island the Band” on Saturday nights and swing-happy brunches with crooner Dino à la Carte on Sunday afternoons. 

Both events are free with a two-drink minimum, providing ample opportunity to sample the bar’s signature cocktails while enjoying top-notch entertainment. Whether you’re in town for a weekend getaway or looking for your new favorite local haunt, The Golden Tiki promises an unforgettable night out filled with great music, delicious drinks, and good vibes all around.
