Mrs. Mai Tai hadn’t been to Jungle Bird in a while so we made sure to visit during our night in Sacramento, arriving for a reservation at 9 pm. The tiki bar was busy at a time when we’re usually not in attendance but everyone was understanding the mellow mood vibes, so this was a nice relaxing way to finish our crawl.
I was still a little hungry and we enjoyed some pot stickers and crab rangoon (more cheesy than crabby), grooving to the tropical and exotic tunes being played. It is helpful that Jungle Bird has a potency rating for their cocktails since I was looking for something a little lighter, so I truly enjoyed the Glass Fin that features Aperol, orange juice, passionfruit syrup, and ginger ale. Meanwhile, Mrs. Mai Tai really liked the Moonwake Harbor with Jamaican rum, vanilla, and passionfruit foam.
We appreciated our time at Jungle Bird but only stayed for one drink after having been out to several places before. Even on a weekend we found the venue to provide an immersive and traditional tiki bar space that continues to provide very high quality cocktails and food. It’s the best tiki bar in Sacramento.
