The next time you’re craving a trip to the beach, but don’t have time to catch a plane, there’s a festive destination in Virginia that you should know about. Auntie’s is an authentic tiki bar right here in the Old Dominion that promises a tropical getaway any time of the year. Step through the doors and prepare to be delighted by tropical music, mouthwatering food, and a drink menu that could impress just about anyone. There’s even a specialty drink that’s served right out of a giant conch shell! Does it get any better than that? Here’s more on this fun-filled tiki bar hiding in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
If you typically associate tiki bars with cheap umbrellas, then it’s time you were introduced to a world of authentic and old-school tiki culture. Auntie’s Tiki Bar & Restaurant offers a world of Filipino-American fusion.
Located just a short distance from Mount Trashmore, this relatively-new restaurant has already made a name for itself for its incredible food and drink menu. Nearly every food item is influenced by Pacific Island culture and many of the drinks feature aged Caribbean rums.
And while the tiki theme is certainly undeniable, the style isn’t overdone. You’ll find a few masks and playful mugs, but the food and drink menus are what really set the tone for this one-of-a-kind establishment.
One of the most popular orders on the food menu is the poke bowl, which is served in a charred pineapple. Inside, there’s cured albacore tuna sprinkled with a seaweed and sesame mix (a staple combination that you’ll find on every table in the restaurant). And you can actually eat the pineapple when you’re done!
Another favorite order is the Auntie Burger, with unique flavors such as spiced sausage, banana-ketchup mayo, white American cheese, and a Hawaiian sweet roll. One thing’s for sure: the items here are anything but boring.
This brings us to perhaps the most unique offering of all: the famous conch shell drink. Indulge in one of these specialties and you may just forget you’re in Virginia at all. Be sure to pace yourself or better yet, share one with a friend.
So whether you’re looking to escape to a tropical state of mind or perhaps are curious to try some mouthwatering Filipino food, you won’t be disappointed by your visit to Auntie’s.
