About Flamingos Tiki Bar
Flamingos Tiki Bar is a small basement bar under The Pacific Hotel on the Cairns Esplanade, with room for about 35 people. It opened on 1 December 2018 in a long-vacant former bottle shop space.
The bar takes a bright, Miami-style approach to tiki, with tropical prints, palm trees, bamboo, hula-girl wallpaper and neon. The list runs to more than 150 rums, with classics like the Zombie, a house Flamingo Sling, and drinks served in tiki mugs.
