About Krakatoa

Welcome to Aberdeen’s only authentic tiki dive bar, Krakatoa — a place where people from all walks of life come together.

Tucked away off the beaten path, it’s a secret haven for unexpected friendships, clandestine meetings, and an escape from reality. The dimly lit interior glows with neon light, featuring functional, hard-wearing decor that echoes a classic road movie vibe. Built to handle lively weekends, Krakatoa invites you to relax, spill a drink, and enjoy yourself without judgment.

Visitors range from work clothes to dressed-up or dressed-down, but everyone’s here for a good time. While the decor is simple, the eclectic music, surreal restrooms, and extensive menu of exotic drinks—including beer, cider, absinthe, and tiki specialties—make Krakatoa a unique and unforgettable spot.
