Looking for a summer escape without leaving the city? Omni Berkshire Place in Midtown is bringing the island vibes to Manhattan with Tiki Social, a tropical pop-up bar experience launching Memorial Day Weekend and running through Labor Day.

Created in collaboration with tiki historian, cocktail expert, and Latitude 29 owner Jeff “Beachbum” Berry, Tiki Social transforms Omni Berkshire’s bar space into a breezy getaway, complete with an exclusive menu of eight original tropical cocktails and two zero-proof drinks designed to make every sip feel like a mini vacation.

Highlights from Berry’s menu include:

• Coconutty Islander, served in a fresh coconut with rum, passion fruit, and macadamia liqueur.

• Mai Tai Have Another, a bold take on the classic with gold and dark Jamaican rums.

• The Tropical Tease, a smoky mezcal cocktail with Raspberry Reàl, pineapple and Crème de Cacao.

For those skipping the booze, there are spirit-free options like the Dry Tai and Designated Diver.

“Tiki has always been about transporting people, if only for a moment, to someplace sunny, breezy, and far from the everyday,” says Berry. At Omni Berkshire Place, that means turning a Midtown bar into a tropical retreat every Friday and Saturday evening all summer long.

Tiki Social is open to hotel guests and the public. For more details, visit omnihotels.com/tiki-social.
