Adults-only cocktails and tapas at Tupapa's Coconut Center

Cococktail built its name at a small Blackrock spot before moving to the Coconut Center on Tupapa's main road, right next to an umu-style dinner that regulars now pair it with for a full night out.

It's adults-only, with tapas and canapes alongside a cocktail list long enough that regulars argue over which round to start with. Book through Facebook Messenger rather than by phone.

Good to know

  • Adults only, and booking through Facebook Messenger is the norm.
  • Open Wednesday to Sunday, lunch 11am-2pm and dinner 4pm-9pm.

    Meitaki Cococktail team 🌴🧡 good service thank you Pauline! Great drinks and huge portions. We enjoyed our evening. Suggest ordering as you go rather than all at once. Highly recommend Cococktail.

    We had a fabulous time here! We really appreciated the courtesy vehicle service and Tita was a neat guy. We had been told this place was great but it exceeded our expectations in every way . The cocktail menu is extensive. Our group of 3 tried quite a few 🙄. There was certainly no skimping on ingredients when they were poured and they all come out beautifully decorated. Some were a work of art and they were all yum! Our intention was to have cocktails and we didn’t want to compromise our cocktail experience with a big meal so we ordered from the canapés menu. Tapas right? We were expecting bite size morsels. Well were we wrong! The canapé portions could well be considered a generous main. Certainly generous servings, presented beautifully and delicious. The service was top notch. They were a lovely team who worked hard to ensure our evening was an experience to remember. The vibe in the place was fun, warm, friendly and welcoming. We regret not going earlier on in our time on the island. If it hadn’t been our second to last night we would have had a repeat. We would highly recommend Cococktail Rarotonga and will definitely be back. Thanks for a brilliant experience.

    Everytime we visit this beautiful island we always come to cococktail and it never disappoints, amazing cocktails and great food. We love our chats with the lovely taxi driver who does the pick up service.

    This place really hits the mark for a great night out. The food is exactly what you want: filling, flavorful, and served in generous portions. I even had a second round of the lamb meatballs …. So yummy!!! Every dish we tried was delicious and clearly made with care. The drinks were equally impressive, well-crafted with a solid pour, so you're actually getting what you pay for. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the staff attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend it!!

    My husband and I had drinks and dinner here one night in May. The cocktails were yum and the alcohol generous. The tapas were super delicious and huge. Bigger than I expected. We really enjoyed ourselves and the staff were really great. Highly recommend a visit here when you are in Rarotonga.
