Headhunters Hideaway, a Home Tiki Bar

 Glendale, AZ

A tropical oasis in the heart of Glendale, AZ

Home Tiki

The other day Josh and I headed out to Glendale to visit a vintage Disney friend.  Tim and I worked together in the 90s and we both have a fondness for Tiki Bars.  He moved to Arizona in 1999 and now he has his own Tiki Bar.  I was invited to visit him and he was kind enough to let me bring Josh along.

Headhunters Hideaway is a beautiful bar with a great rum selection.  

The entrance is just inside the front door and he has it set up so that you really feel like you are in a separate bar.  He has a great playlist of exotica music playing and comfortable seating.

If you are familiar with Disneyland, you will find many Easter eggs hidden within The Hideaway.

Tim's glassware selection is amazing.  This glass is from Untertow, a local Tiki Bar, but he also has mugs from Trader Sams at Disneyland and other fine mugs from all over.

After we sat down Tim handed us a menu.  This was the moment I realized he took this bartending seriously.  This was also reflected with his fresh squeezed fruit juice, his bar quality Pellet Ice, and his great rum selection.  Both Josh and I ordered An Eastern Sour and soon we were sipping and catching up.  The drink was fantastic.

He has some cool Jungle Cruise and Tiki Room pieces too.  

I loved these lights.  We have been to Tiki Bars that are speakeasys and they are only identified by lights like these.  

We had a great afternoon of telling Josh Disney Stories and talking about Tiki Bars we have been to.  Later that afternoon we got lunch at Peoria Artisan Brewery. 

That's it for today.  If you missed Sipping Santa and Johnny Cab, check it out.  We rode in a driverless car!
