Tiki Bar Opens in Former Islander Space on U Street

Where a U Street institution once stood now stands a tiki bar.

Archipelago is now open at 1201 U St. NW, according to the Express. The bar carries a menu of tropical rum drinks, small plates and sandwiches.

The business spans two floors and is decked out in floral patterns, bamboo, hula girls and tiki masks, a far cry from The Islander’s formerly no-frills interior.
