Created during the pandemic as a tropical escape from nearly two years of closed borders, Kiki’s is a tropical bar on a not-so-tropical island. 

Inspired by the legacy of pioneering American tiki bars like Trader Vic’s and Don the Beachcomber, but with a decidedly millennial flourish, Kiki Lounge is a beloved local haunt offering world class cocktails and warm Manx hospitality.

Owners Jamie Lewis and Drew Fleming (the inaugural winner of the 50 Best The Blend scholarship from The World’s 50 Best Bars) have worked tirelessly to create the ideal tropical hideaway for locals and visitors alike. 

In May 2024, Kiki Lounge was awarded 1 PIN Excellent status in the inaugural The Pinnacle Guide listing, recognising its exceptional quality and service. Later that year, Kiki Lounge was named Bar of the Year at the Spirits Business Awards and in early 2025, proudly placed in the Top 50 Cocktail Bars UK, cementing its reputation as one of the leading bars in the British Isles.

Now in a new site on Douglas’ North Quay, Kiki Lounge is a smugglers’ cove of pop-culture ephemera modelled on the quintessential beach bar, with an ambitious menu marrying tropical tradition with contemporary technique.
