“Just in time for summer, your newest tropical escape awaits!” The Tiki Bar and Grill at the Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center (9751 Washingtonian Blvd), overlooking the Rio lakefront, will open to the public on Thursday, May 2nd. First look video available below.

The new bar will be open from 5 to 9pm every Tuesday through Thursday, offering classic tiki cocktails like the Blue Hawaiian and Mai Tai. Additionally, Tiki Bar will serve Polynesian-inspired dishes such as Coconut Shrimp and Poke Bowls (full menu available below the video).

Per Tiki Bar: “For tiki connoisseurs, take a seat at a table on our patio and watch the show as our skilled mixologists shake up classic tiki cocktails.” The bar menu will feature favorites including the Mai Tai, the Blue Hawaiian, and Zombie- all made with freshly pressed juices and premium spirits.

The menu, designed by Head Chef Bea Legaspi, features grilled dishes inspired by the flavors of Polynesia and feature locally sourced ingredients, infused with tropical flavors. Guests can indulge in our signature mahi-mahi fish tacos, fire-grilled chicken wings or a classic Hawaiian burger, topped with grilled pineapple and chef’s signature teriyaki sauce.

Open Tuesday – Thursday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the Tiki Bar and Grill will feature a 19ft tall mural, designed to transport guests to the South Seas the moment they step into the bar and take in the serene views, overlooking the lake. “The vantage point offers the ideal backdrop for gathering with friends and family to people watch or enjoy a night under the stars.” With seating for 70, Tiki Bar and Grill will also be available for private events and signature celebrations and can be combined with the ballroom, located adjacent to the bar.
