We loved all of the cocktails in the tiki cups here! The prices were great compared ti other tiki bars I’ve been to. The pretzels that came with them were great too! Staff was excellent and Nicky recommended other favorite spots in the area. The music they were playing was great and the octopus tables added to the appeal. We would be back if in the area!

I cant believe we just found out about this gem. Really, house made everything, infused spirits, syrups, even cashew butter for one cocktail We were able to try all but two of the christmas coctails and they were all spot on.
The staff was gratious, accomodating and helpful.
The overall decor was not over-the-top tiki like an old school tiki bar but certainly captured the vibe with rattan chairs and bamboo highlights.
The snacks were delightful and the cocktails were great.

If you haven’t been to Tucana in Birmingham, you’re missing something very special. We had dinner at a Cuban restaurant, then went to Tucana afterwards. From the minute we walked in the door, we were made to feel like VIPs. The bartenders truly know their craft, and seem super happy to be there. If you need an intro to tiki cocktails, it’s perfect. The menu changes, but always includes classic tiki recipes from the 30s and 40s (Zombie, Cobra Fang, Demerara Float), along with fresh and inventive takes on the genre. While it’s not decorated in what I consider a “classic” Polynesian pop style, Tucana feels tropical and fun. It’s just the right balance of old and new school tiki that’s needed to bridge the age gap from our parents’ generation to a fresh, young crowd. Pro tip: get the Chex mix. (You’re welcome!)
Additionally, the owner and self-described “Chief Concoction Officer,” Nicky Tisdale, clearly loves her calling. What an incredible young woman! Her hospitality is second to none, and you can tell she’s poured her heart and soul into Tucana. I am proud to support this woman-owned business and can’t wait to return. MAHALO, Nicky. Well done!

I’ve been to Tucana several times and it never disappoints. Last night Andy was our server and he was awesome. He made sure to check on us and see if we needed more drinks or not. He also was very sweet and patient with other guests! Thank you Andy!!!!

Gorgeous tiki bar in a great location. We went right after they opened. The cocktails are amazing – and we tried quite a few to verify this! Our bartender was friendly and efficient and we enjoyed sitting at the bar to get drink recommendations and see what others were ordering. The only food offering was a spicy Chex mix, which may have changed since they’ve been open awhile now.

I was pleasantly surprised at Tucana.
The drinks were well done, in some cases over the top Garnish that them over the top but beautiful. This is a lost art in most bars and even in some Tiki bars.
The service was great. The bartenders were always checking on me and assisting me in my questions.

The amount of detail and bespoke effort put into these cocktails are wild! And the prices are incredibly reasonable for what you get. They’ll make you whatever you want, but the tiki drinks are A++. Best bar in Birmingham?

The atmosphere was fun. The waiter seemed so unhappy to be there and the drinks were very pricey for what they were. The gratuity was added to the check at TWENTY FIVE PERCENT and he wasn’t very attentive or nice. We will not be going back.
