Tale of the Crew

Welcome to 🌴⚓ Shipwrecked ⚓🌴, a locally loved tiki bar where the spirit of adventure meets the art of the craft cocktail.

Nate and Melissa, longstanding contributors to the Davis business community, are the creators behind this unique 🏝️ island oasis. Their passion for tiki bars - and a touch of 🏴‍☠️ pirate-esque adventure - inspired them to open Shipwrecked. Every detail, from the decor to the drink menu, reflects their commitment to creating a lively yet relaxed ambiance.

At Shipwrecked, we honor the tiki tradition while setting sail on our own voyage in the modern craft cocktail scene. Navigate our drinks menu 🍹 and discover gems like our "1944 Mai Tai", a faithful nod to the classic Trader Vic's recipe, or embark on a bold journey with our contemporary "Midnight Jungle Bird".

Quality and freshness are our true north. We source our citrus and fruits 🍊🍋 from Central Valley growers, infusing our cocktails with the freshest flavors. Our housemade almond orgeat and other hand-crafted flavors set a new standard for taste, raising the bar for craft cocktails. Indulge in our "Painkiller" or "Banana Boat Bliss", both featuring local Davis Creamery's 🍍pineapple ice cream - a delightful accompaniment to our tropical concoctions.

Step into Shipwrecked, your island escape in the heart of Davis. Here, we're all about transporting you to a tropical paradise 🌊🏖️, one unique cocktail at a time. Settle in and let our vibrant tiki bar bring a splash of the tropics to your day.

We take pride in respecting the rich legacy of Tiki bars, while also eagerly embracing the dynamic trends of modern mixology. However, the real essence of our work is not just about the drinks we serve, but the stories and experiences that blossom around them.

In the abyssal depths, he met a mesmerizing mermaid. The two fell madly in love, and for a while, it seemed Bob's bad luck had finally reversed. However, a disastrous mix-up involving a potion meant to grant Bob the ability to breathe underwater turned his lover into a terrifying sea witch. Heartbroken and at peril, Bob made a frantic escape. Amidst a wild chase, he was swept away by a powerful current, finding himself marooned on an unfamiliar, deserted island.

A Mermaid's Curse

Despite the lonely surroundings, Bob channeled his energy into resilience. He discovered various exotic fruits on the island and started experimenting with them, reminiscent of his tavern days. He put together a makeshift distillery, transforming the sugarcane and fruits into rich spirits, each concoction a delightful surprise. During the day, he explored the island, studied its flora, and at night, he worked on his drinks under the blanket of stars.

Resilience on the Island

One hot afternoon, while digging a hole, Bob discovered something buried in the sand. To his astonishment, he unearthed an old, weather-worn treasure chest. Before he could even think about his luck, however, a loud, boisterous group of pirates docked at his island. They claimed the island and the treasure as their own. Bob, however, remained undeterred. He regaled them with tales of his comical misadventures and served them his unique cocktails. The pirates, won over by his storytelling and drink mixing skills, decided to share a portion of the treasure with Bob.

Shipwrecked Tiki Oasis

Bob grew up resourceful and independent, yet for obvious reasons, the other kids shied away from his bad luck streak. He eventually found his place in a tavern, mixing quirky drinks that quickly became local favorites. But one day, he set the bar on fire while attempting to wow his patrons with a flaming rum juggling act. Suddenly jobless and in a lot of trouble, Bob saw an opportunity for a fresh start and stowed away on a ship heading for the New World.

From Flames to Waves

But Bob's bad luck was as persistent as the tide. He was eventually discovered and imprisoned in the ship’s hold. For over a month, he languished, unaware that his infamous bad luck had infected the entire ship. In an unfortunate twist of fate, a monstrous kraken attacked the ship, dragging it underwater. Miraculously, Bob’s shackles kept him grounded amidst the turmoil, and he woke up in an underwater cave, spared from drowning thanks to an unexpected air pocket.
