The lost Inferno

Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: n/a Drinks: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 4/5 Friendly, welcoming, and a team who went above and beyond! We visited on a Saturday evening with a reservation. The theming was nostalgic and incredibly on point for die hard "Goonie’s" fans. Daniel was primarily who helped us, and he did fantastic. Ryan made us his own creation, and it was so personable for him to bring the drink over and talk about it with us. Only wish there were some small bites on the menu to compliment the strongly crafted cocktails. Loved the experience and can’t wait to visit again down the road!

I had a great time at The lost Inferno in San Clemente. It’s a small, immersive tiki speakeasy with a fun Goonies-inspired theme and really creative cocktails that make the visit feel special. The atmosphere is cozy but lively, and the décor transports you somewhere a bit magical — perfect for a night out with friends or a date. Drinks like the One Eyed Willy and Chester Copperpot are standout choices, and the staff knows their craft well. It’s best to make a reservation because seating is limited, and food options are minimal, so plan to come for drinks and the experience.

Tiki is my thing, and this is easily one of, if not THE best tiki spots I've ever been to. Drinks are delicious, decor is top notch, and the staff is in a class of their own. Maya killed it as hostess managing waits while still getting my buddy and I in smoothly despite having no reservation. Bryce ensured we never waited to order, gave fantastic recommendations and reviews, and was a joy to talk to (kicked my buddy's ass in a game of slide too). Ryan kept the perfectly mixed drinks coming all evening, quite a feat given thier house drink complexity. Goonies theam is a nice twist meshing perfectly with the tiki vibe. Absolute 12/10 experience and a place I would recommend to anyone. No food seved but outside food welcome. Venu is smaller so reservations are a must for groups of +4.

We stopped by without a reservation on a weekday and were seated at the bar with a very brief wait. There were 3 bar tenders when we arrived but it took a while for one of them to take our order. Drinks came out very quickly! We tried several drinks and they were all quite tasty. The grotto had people seated in it so we couldnt really check it out up close but it looked pretty nice from where we were. Solid bar

Came here for a bday celebration and was odly satisfied with the atmosphere. Goonies themed bar area which was fun and new. Brought back some 1985 vibes. Bar tenders were epic. Had my first bourbon old fashioned with a 21 year old double barrel which was very smooth but with a lot of taste. Enjoyed the music which was randomly playing some classics with new aged metal. Kinda cool if you ask me. Good place to start your night with a few drinks and then head to Del Mar for drinks.

If you're a fan of Tiki bars and totally awesome 80's movies then you should put this bar on your list. Saw this bar on social media and decided while we were visiting So Cal we would make it a point to stop in. Staff was friendly, unfortunately it was the end of the night and almost closing time for them, so we didn't get a whole lot of time here. We double fisted it and ordered two drinks each. They had a Goonies themed cocktails, as well as traditional tropical cocktail and mocktails. Overall cool area, good service, awesome concept, and good drinks. I'd visit this bar again if I'm in the area.

Lost Inferno Tiki Bar is pure escapism in the best way. Dark, moody tiki vibes, killer rum cocktails, and just the right touch of tropical chaos. Every drink is crafted with care, the atmosphere feels like you’ve stepped into another world, and the staff keeps the energy fun and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot to disappear for a while, sip something dangerous, and soak in the island-meets-underworld aesthetic. A must for tiki lovers and cocktail fans alike.
