"Rum Runners Cove has become a neighborhood treasure; a Tiki Bar where longtime friends reconnect and new friends are made.  Dave and Cheryl are generous and innovative cocktail masters.  Drinks, laughter, the sounds of a steel drum, and good times flow freely at our favorite Tiki Bar!  (and thanks for saving our sanity throughout COVID with distance drinks and later, after vaccines, winter evenings inside the Tiki Bar.)"  - Leslie and Ken Streight

"Visiting the Tiki Bar is to be transported to a south pacific island.  The Tiki Bar, crafted so lovingly it seems like a fine piece of furniture, is a jewel surrounded by beautiful gardens and fitting south seas artifacts.  Experiencing this marvelous setting is to relax, be happy, and settle in for the evening."  - Judy McNeill

The Tiki Bar is the real deal!  Step inside and you escape to another world - sit back, relax, and enjoy a fruity cocktail.  Be sure to ask for a cherry and an umbrella too!  - Michelle Hamilton

Coast into good times at the Uken Tiki Bar!  A bit of island life close to home, complete with tropical drinks and steel drums. But the best are the wonderful hosts, Dave and Cheryl, who go all in for the full experience.  - Cynde Lee
