Tiki Cocktail Lounge
Cocktail Lounge · Modesto, CA
About
A tropical-themed lounge with strong, cheap drinks and a mixed gay-straight crowd. This small spot near downtown Modesto is the city's go-to gay bar, drawing a younger crowd of 20s and 30s for rambunctious karaoke on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
The vibe is casual and festive, with outdoor seating and a smoking area. Happy hour is a draw, and the full bar keeps things simple. If you're not a regular, the crowd can feel cliquish, but regulars praise the friendly energy. Like many small bars, it's best to check Twitter (@tikimodesto) for updates before heading out.

From the community
“Meh.”
The drinks are okay and the music is good. The crowd is a bit insular; if they don't know you or if you don't fit their typical look (twink-ish), they'll ignore you.

“Not bad”
I enjoy it, but many of the guys there are really snobby.

“Small”
It's small but cool. I feel like everyone has their own clique.
