What to Expect
Tiki Culture, Reimagined
Steeped in the history of classic tiki lounges, Don the Beachcomber combines vintage island décor with a contemporary coastal twist. Inside, you'll find bamboo details, carved totems, soft lighting, and the kind of laid-back atmosphere that perfectly complements beach life. It’s ideal for both couples looking for a romantic night out and families seeking something fun and memorable.
Crafted Cocktails and Island-Inspired Dishes
Famous for inventing the original “Zombie” and popularizing tiki mixology, Don the Beachcomber continues the tradition with a menu of expertly balanced tropical cocktails. From Mai Tais and Rum Runners to house specialties like the Navy Grog, there’s a drink for every taste. The food menu features island-inspired small plates, seafood favorites, sliders, poke bowls, and more—with vegetarian and kid-friendly options available.
Live Music and Coastal Views
In the evenings, the space comes alive with live music and a festive yet relaxed energy. For an extra treat, take your drink up to the Cambria Hotel’s rooftop bar for sweeping views of the Gulf and Intracoastal Waterway—especially stunning at sunset.
