New Jersey is home to a surprising number of terrific tiki bars. Little Buddy Hideaway in Asbury Park stands out for several reasons. It’s just blocks from the beach but that’s not why it gives off some serious tropical vibes. Step inside and you’ll be transported to a Polynesian-inspired paradise. It’s vibrant, fun, and the drinks don’t stop coming…if that’s what you want. The atmosphere is enough of a reason to visit. Though other tiki bars have been around for decades, this newer addition deserves a chance. See why!

In fact, the drinks are kind of a BIG deal. You can order massive drinks to split with friends, family, your significant other… Large Marge cocktails are massive.

And then there’s the delectable Sunday brunch. It runs from 2-10 p.m.! Yep, it starts at 2 p.m. - perfect for those of us who like to sleep in. Pictured is The Full Monte with ham, Swiss cheese, strawberry jam, and powdered sugar. It’s deep fried and so delicious.
