Kiki Lounge

Created during the pandemic as a tropical escape from nearly two years of closed borders, Kiki’s is a tropical bar on a not-so-tropical island.
Inspired by the legacy of pioneering American tiki bars like Trader Vic’s and Don the Beachcomber, but with a decidedly millennial flourish, Kiki Lounge is a beloved local haunt offering world class cocktails and warm Manx hospitality.

Owners Jamie Lewis and Drew Fleming (the inaugural winner of the 50 Best The Blend scholarship from The World’s 50 Best Bars) have worked tirelessly to create the ideal tropical hideaway for locals and visitors alike.

In May 2024, Kiki Lounge was awarded 1 PIN Excellent status in the inaugural The Pinnacle Guide listing, recognising its exceptional quality and service. Now in a new site on Douglas’ North Quay, Kiki Lounge is a smugglers’ cove of pop-culture ephemera modelled on the quintessential beach bar, with an ambitious menu marrying tropical tradition with contemporary technique.

Peggy’s

Peggy’s was an extra fancy discotheque — a late bar with a dancefloor.

Our influence was 90’s pop-culture meets Studio 54. Our DJ’s play disco and house, with the requisite Spice Girls, Scissor Sisters, Britney and Bowie.

Essentially all that dazzles, era to era, high to low.

Peggy’s was open from 2018 to 2021.

POP-UPS

Moonlight Club
Stuck somewhere between the 80’s and 00’s.

Running from May 2022 to June 2023, Moonlight Club was a late bar with a dancefloor that served up cocktails, dreams and smash hits. It played a range of music, that spanned the decades of 80’s, 90’s and 00’s.

Originally popping up for one month in May 2022, the broad appeal made Moonlight an instant cult classic.


Heartbreak Motel

The temporary home for the heartbroken. 

Running from February to April 2022, Heartbreak Motel was themed around a sleazy, yet seductive 70’s motel. Guests were encouraged to bring “as much baggage as they can carry” and to “take as many hot photos to put on the gram to let your ex know what they’re missing”. Set to a soundtrack of “hot single girl” classics, with a loved up drinks menu of inspired serves and an innuendo riddled menu of saucy hot dogs.

Filthy Animals
Parents are gone. House is empty. This year we’re partying like Filthy Animals!

Running from November to December 2021, Filthy Animals was a pop-up Christmas bar, themed around the iconic 90’s festive flick ‘Home Alone’. Guests were told to expect: nostalgic 90’s throwback vibes, booby-trapped cocktails, hunky Santas, ‘Little Nero’s Hot Dogs’ and a whole load of other festive shenanigans.  The venue aimed to offer an alternative to the dry, drab and oh-so conventional work’s Christmas dinner.
