Hangry Brands, the company behind several Cleveland bars and restaurants, has announced plans to open a new tiki-themed speakeasy called Hidden Tiki on the second floor of its recently acquired Edison's Pub in the Tremont neighborhood. The intimate lounge will accommodate around 20 guests and feature tiki-style cocktails, pizza, and sushi.

Why it matters

The addition of Hidden Tiki will bring a unique speakeasy-style experience to Tremont's Professor Avenue, further expanding the neighborhood's diverse dining and drinking options. Tiki bars have seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, and this new concept aligns with Hangry Brands' focus on creating immersive, over-the-top experiences for customers.

The details

Hidden Tiki will be accessed through a doorway inside Edison's Pub, Hangry Brands' recently acquired 40-year-old bar in Tremont. The second-floor lounge will have a capacity of around 20 guests and feature tiki-style cocktails, slices from the adjacent Lil Ronnie's pizza shop, and sushi from the company's STEAK restaurant down the block. Hangry Brands is known for its immersive, interactive, and over-the-top décor at its other concepts, and Hidden Tiki is expected to follow suit.

  • Hidden Tiki is slated to open by the middle of 2026.
  • Hangry Brands acquired Edison's Pub in Tremont late last year.
