Tiki Tiki Bang Bang 965 E. McMillan St., Walnut Hills Take a trip to the tropics at this hidden gem in the heart of Walnut Hills. Tiki Tiki Bang Bang is the only bar in Cincinnati that will take you on an island exploration without leaving the Ohio River Valley via the Discovery Rum Club. Ask your bartender about it to buy the super secret book ($25 with a special flight of rum to get you started), choose your faction (are you Team Prof. McCaw or Team Capt. Dory?) and get to sipping on some rum. If exploring isn’t your game, you can kick back with one of Tiki Tiki Bang Bang’s punch bowls or island-themed cocktails. Photo: Hailey Bollinger

Karaoke rules. That’s why the Gorilla Cinema Presents folks created Tokyo Kitty, a bar dedicated to it. But you’ll have to visit one of the local hospitality group’s other establishments for this monthly singing series. 

Tiki Tiki Bang Bang, formally known as the Video Archive in Walnut Hills, dedicates a Thursday evening every month to belting out Disney songs on their karaoke machine, offering the spotlight to the little kid in all of us. 

“Grab your mouse ears, muster up some Moana-level courage and take back your voice from Ursula’s shell because we have songs to sing and stories to tell,” the Facebook event reads.

The series takes place from 7-10 p.m. and upcoming 2021 dates include Aug. 29, Sept. 30, Oct. 28, Nov. 25 and Dec. 30. 

Tiki Tiki Bang Bang is located at 965 E. McMillan St. in Walnut Hills.
