Not classic tiki, but quite nice. Drinks are better than most in the local area. It's a small place, no air-conditioning and there is a small patio area. It has enough tiki to meet the criteria. Beer and cocktails, with a few tiki drinks. I like the vibe and the atmosphere. I bought a tank top...so cute. Prices are some of the best around, for everything.

Cool small bars to get some drinks with live music. It was a great closing to our day. The service is good and everyone is friendly. It is an open space so you can enjoy the weather, with or without shadow.

Arnold’s was our very first stop after checking into the hotel, and honestly, it set the tone for the entire trip. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the razor-sharp wit of Miss Kim, who welcomed us with, “Where you from? I’m sorry!” — and just like that, we knew we were in the right place. We were in the mood for tiki drinks, so naturally the World Famous Mai Tai was ordered. Miss Kim went straight to work, hand-mixing what can only be described as the best Mai Tai in the whole wide world. These are not your mass-produced, overpriced luau Mai Tais — these are the real deal. Strong, balanced, and dangerously easy to drink. I may or may not have “sucked up” a couple of them… purely for research purposes. My Best Girl was craving a Piña Colada, which initially came from a machine and didn’t quite taste like a Piña Colada. No problem — Kim immediately took care of my girl and the tab like a pro. Naturally, this heroic act led to ordering two more Mai Tais. Problem solved. We loved it so much that we came back the following Friday, did it all over again, and even picked up a couple of t-shirts for good measure. If you appreciate local color, strong drinks that won’t wreck your vacation budget, quick wit, and a laid-back, no-nonsense tiki vibe, do yourself a favor and check out Arnold's Beach Bar. And whatever you do, be sure to ask Kim when the last time she had a Fluffanutta. Trust me.

A great tiki bar. Reasonably priced tucked away down an alley. The staff is friendly and drinks are great. It’s not fancy but not what I would call a dive bar. They have free popcorn and some food options (I think). Go for the Mai Tais, excellent beer and a good variety of cocktails made with with Aloha.

Love this bar! It's been 20 years since I've been here, and not a lot has changed. No smoking any longer, but the drinks are still strong and the service is still awesome. Lizzy was a blast to get to know. If you're hungry, get the Lizzy Glizzy!
