After last week’s visit to Forbidden Island the mood was still for tiki cocktails but this time in San Francisco. Last Rites https://www.lastritesbar.com in the Castro fits that bill. Started about 8 years ago from people behind Horsefeather it has a little bit different vibe than other tiki bars as it is darker and the theme is more towards a plane crash in a jungle (including sound effects) and is sometimes described as a “dark tiki”. So excellent cocktails have some of the expected tiki characteristics but tend to be less sweet and a bit more complex.
