Dead Man’s Isle

"Incredible. Vibe. Drinks. Service. Decor. A+++. Tiki heaven and high ceilings! Loveliest people working and owning one of the best tiki bars anywhere. Go to here."

"Our experience at Dead Man’s Isle was outstanding! Jamie and Toni went above and beyond, giving us the best tiki bar experience. DMI ranks at the top of our tiki bar rankings, we’ve been to quite a few and this one stands out. Toni made drinks that are artfully concocted and displayed mainly in Tiki mugs. After only a few minutes, Jamie suggested cocktails for us and he was right on. He worked the room like a showman and brought us up to speed on the history of the bar, the owner and the mugs he creates, the building, the artwork, the town and the mugs. We would go back just to talk to him. DMI is spread out, with 20+ ft ceilings meticulously decorated, not at all cramped. The music wasn’t Island, but a funky mix that everyone could enjoy. Jamie suggested we try the sweet potato fries and they were hands down, the best we ever had. A lot of bars have been out of merchandise lately, but Dead Man’s Isle has quite the selection, from mugs, glassware, shirts and swizzle sticks, they even have a vending machine for small Tiki mugs."

"I cannot get enough of this place! No seriously, I went 3 times in a week. Granted, one of those times was because I left my purse there and had to drive 3 hours from Seattle to get it, BUT it made for another lovely excuse to try more of their amazing cocktails and enjoy the fun atmosphere they have! Also I cannot speak highly enough of their staff, especially Jamie! He made sure my purse was safe, was so exceptionally kind and funny, and was also very patient with me while I picked out tiki mugs to buy. He even gave my husband and I a couple free t-shirts after our long drive back to pick up my purse, which was a sweet way to take the edge off of 6hrs of driving in one day. Also, a few notes if you’re a tiki bar fan like my husband and I: this is a high quality tiki bar owned by a well-known tiki mug artist, and it’s very clear their art extends far beyond mugs. The bar itself is so beautifully detailed, with unique local flare and some fun shoutouts to The Goonies, and the drinks are exceptional in quality and presentation. Their food menu is also very tasty, we really loved the Togarashi Tots! Next time you’re in Astoria, don’t miss this hidden gem! Or the chance to meet Jamie!"

"We had an amazing experience at Dead Man’s Isle. Jaime was our server and he was very witty and made for great conversation. The food was delicious. We loved the Tater Tots and Crispy Noodle Salad. We will definitely visit again the next time we are in Astoria."

"This Tiki bar is great! Fantastic staff coupled with great tasting drinks equals a perfect nite out. I had the Mai Tai, Rum Barrel & and pain Killer…all were awesome. You can spend a little or a lot depending on how much you want to drink. Jamie & Maddie we on tonite and made sure everything was looked after. They are E’ffing superstars!"
