Tiki No

Next to a line of auto body shops on Lankershim Boulevard sits Tiki No, a darkened tiki bar where North Hollywood regulars come to sing their hearts out during Wednesday karaoke night and dance the night away on the weekends. On slower nights, feel free to chat up your bartender as they concoct a Toasted Marshmallow, one of Tiki No’s more popular cocktails. Made from overproof Jamaican rum, fluffed vodka and Licor 43, the drink’s cherry on top arrives in the form of a flaming marshmallow. It’s an impressive (and tasty) libation, as are some other staples on the menu—the Coconut Mojito, the Eastern Sour, the Suffering Bastard—and the bartenders make each one with admirable precision under plastic blowfish lamps and a thatched palm roof. While there’s no kitchen for coconut shrimp or other tropical delights, Tiki No welcomes outside food—so feel free to bring in takeout from elsewhere to soak up all that booze.
