Shameful Tiki Room

What is Shameful Tiki Room? Located at 777 Queen Street West, this dimly lit escape from founder Rod Moore transports patrons into an uncompromised mid-century Polynesian time capsule with zero daylight in sight. The interior is swathed in thatched bamboo, carved tikis, woven textures, and moody amber lanterns, offering intimate booths and lively bar counter seating soundtracked by vintage exotica and surf tunes. It stands as Toronto's premier temple to authentic vintage cocktail culture, trading Queen West street traffic for immersive rum-fueled hospitality.

Shameful Tiki Room Menu & What to Order Cocktails take centre stage with meticulously measured Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's recipes, from the balanced 1944 Mai Tai with house-made orgeat to the overproof, spice-laden Shameful Zombie. Sharing bowls like the Volcano Bowl arrive with theatrical flair, complete with gong strikes and simulated thunder claps across the room. To anchor the potent drinks, order the glazed spam musubi, crisp Maui coconut shrimp, braised pork sliders, or the communal pu-pu platters.

Know Before You Go Tables book out days in advance for prime Friday and Saturday slots, so reserve online early or arrive right at 5:00 p.m. to snag open walk-in bar stools during happy hour. Table sittings have a enforced two-hour limit, and the room operates strictly 19+ late at night. Take the 501 Queen streetcar to Niagara Street for seamless transit access, as street parking in this corridor is notoriously scarce.
