The Tiki Bar on Lake Monona — Restaurant in Monona

The Tiki is a great place to have a drink and watch the sunset over Lake Monona. It's a beautiful lakefront property, like a big back yard. The bar is full service. Food is available, usually on Friday and weekends. Military fundraiser, burgers, brats are there, sometimes a food cart. They also have occasional live music. A schedule is available online. Very low key atmosphere. A nice summertime...

It's a "tiki" bar in Wisconsin...Good place to watch the sun set or spend the afternoon. I've been disappointed by the mixed drinks at the bar, so I stick with their beer options. There are limited food options sometimes.

They have bands playing throughout summer and yard game leagues (bocce ball, corn hole, etc).

Pets and carry-ins...

Very relaxing reprieve from thinking about Covid. Well spaced outdoor seating with live music and a full bar. I had been here before the outbreak and it still feels largely the same except for masks while ordering. It sounds like they have food trucks every once and a while but not all the time, so you may want to grab a bite...
