I came here back in July 2023 with a friend. The bartender was great. The drinks were strong and the nachos were good, definitely hit the spot. White vibes for sure lol!

This is a first stop experience for a night of bar-hopping (and food hopping) when I'm entertaining out-of-towners. The atmosphere is fun and the drinks/food choices are interesting! The Singapore Sling is my go-to drink and I love the loaded fries and other sharable options! Sitting at the bar is fun if you have a small group, most of the bartenders put on a good tiki drink show as they work!

Ambiance is where this place truly shines. After walking in a very nondescript and ordinary foyer, you are greeted with a dimly lit, colorful pirate themed nautical bar. Normally a server or bartender notices your appearance pretty quickly and ushers you to a seat. The menu is on QR code and is primarily rum based drinks. So sad that they don't stock my favorite, rhum agricole! But the cocktails are strong, rated by skull level on the menu, and definitely fulfill the tiki vibe. I just wish the menu had more practical descriptions of the drinks; many of them sounded fantastical but we weren't sure what they would taste like. (But most tiki drinks taste similar to me anyhow).

Ahoy there, matey! If it's a taste of adventure ye seek, then Devil's Reef in Tacoma be the treasure ye hunt! This pirate-themed cocktail bar be a hidden gem, arrr! Step inside and ye be transported to a world where the grog flows freely and the spirits be as wild as the seven seas. The cocktails here be crafted with the skill of a seasoned sailor, each one a masterpiece that'll have ye swaying like a ship in a storm. The atmosphere be as lively as a pirate's den, with decor that'd make any buccaneer feel right at home. Whether ye be in the mood for a dark and stormy or a concoction that'll shiver yer timbers, the crew at Devil's Reef know their way around a rum barrel. So, gather yer mates and set sail for Devil's Reef - where the drinks be strong, the vibes be pirate-perfect, and the adventure never ends. Savvy?

Really cool tiki bar in Opera Alley. We were bar hopping and saw this nearby- it took a bit to find the place (hint- look for the ship's wheel outside). It's pretty neat inside- definitely pirate themed- this is a Rum bar after all (hubby tried to order a whiskey and coke-bad boy!!!). Service wasn't great- took a bit to get acknowledged. We did not try the food, so cannot speak to that! I tried the Dagon's Revenge- not my favorite- pretty pricey for such a small glass. Hubby tried a rum and coke- it was citrusy- we weren't sure it was really coke- so we only stayed for one drink! Cool atmosphere gets the points!

In the middle of Tacoma lies a somewhat hidden tiki bar with fantastic drinks and food. The "vibes" are fantastic, as is the subtle tiki music and flickering lamp light. A lot of booths are tucked away for a private evening and we had really enjoyable service. If you are looking for a tropical escape, Devil's Reef is a great option. Good luck picking a drink though, the menu is massive and will take a while to read and choose.

I love this tiki bar. It has such a fun tropical vibe. They serve delicious food and have an extensive themed drink menu. The bartenders are kind, patient, and helpful when asked about recommendations.
