The story of Admiral Locnar
When Admiral Locnar's vessel crashed, he was stranded on a remote island. He made a life changing decision to climb the mountain rising above the beach. It didn’t take long for him to realize that he was surrounded by coconut and citrus trees – oranges, limes, lemons, pineapple – and a beautiful field of sugar cane.
In the years he was stranded alone, Admiral Locnar survived by living on what the island provided, squeezing the juices, harvesting the coconut, and distilling the sugar cane to fill the pineapples after he removed the sweet center. He meditated daily by the ocean, riding the waves in his mind to keep his focus.
He manifested these dreams by building a space to mix the juices, coconut, and distilled spirits. This became Tiki Underground, where he continues to create and imbibe, hoping someday he will be rescued.

Escape with us!
We offer online reservations inside on Fridays and Saturdays for parties of 2-6 people! Keep in mind that parties of 2 people may be asked to sit together depending on availability. The reservation is for 90 minutes at a table. We hold the table for 15 minutes after the reservation time, then will release the table to the next group.
Our new location has limited space to accommodate groups of more than 6 people. Click here if you’re interested in scheduling a private party for more than 8 people at Tiki underground or in our new 1960s event space.
Bar seating and standing room is open throughout the night, and you're welcome to enjoy a drink at the bar. There is a space in the middle where you can order.
Age 21 and over only!
Parking is easy!
Visit us in Downtown Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio at 1832 Front Street across from the beautiful Highbridge Glens park!
We’re super excited to see the South Side of Front Street get so many cool updates, but that means construction for the next year which will block some of the parking. The City will maintain two-way traffic or you can enter the parking lot behind us off Second Street.
There are a lot of great options for parking in downtown Cuyahoga Falls, including our own lot, street parking, and several city lots on both sides of Broad Boulevard.
Please don't park at our neighbor Sheraton Suites, there is a large city lot across the street that is a much better choice.
This map will provide guidance for your visit, and if you have any questions please call us at 234-380-5398. Click this link for a map of Downtown Cuyahoga Falls.
Age 21 and over only!
