SUMMER TIKI TAKEOVER RETURNS TO THE BOWER

​After overwhelming success last summer, LGD hotspot The Bower is bringing back its tropical summertime Tiki Takeover. Available all summer long at both the restaurant and adjacent Bower Bar, guests can enjoy a selection of dishes and cocktails certain to transport them straight to the Polynesian islands.

With a decked-out space filled with tiki decor, along with an array of tiki-inspired cocktails from Beverage Director Mickey Mullins, guests can enjoy sippables ($14-18) served up in specialty tiki glassware. Libations include Lifeguard – gin, pineapple, lemon, orgeat and bitters; Toasted Daquiri with rum, fresh lime and toasted sugar; Bananavardie – rye, banana liqueur, glittered Campari; Pinky Promise – tequila, hibiscus, apricot and lime with an absinthe mist; Mood Ring – vodka, vanilla bean lemonade and butterfly pea flower; and Sipping Next to Vanna White – gold rum, Aperol, vanilla lemonade and lime. Frozen concoctions include Piña Colada with a house blend of rums, pineapple, and coconut, served in a large coconut and Apostle’s Upswing – rum, mint, peach and pineapple.

Executive Chef Marcus Woodham is spicing it up in the kitchen with options like Spam Musubi - sweet soy glazed spam, sushi rice, furikake, spicy mayo; Huli Huli Pork Ribs with pickled jalapeños, pineapple and cucumbers; and Spicy Salmon Poke with avocado & cilantro rice, beets, pineapple, mango and a lime leaf vinaigrette.  

WHEN/WHERE: Tiki Takeover at The Bower and The Bower Bar is available throughout the summer season. The Bower is located at 1320 Magazine St and is open Monday-Thursday 4PM - 9PM, Saturday-Sunday 4PM - 11PM.
