Battling towering palms and assorted green foliage on Alega Beach, Tisa’s Barefoot Bar, located on American Samo, has firmly planted itself as a favored beach bar in the Samoan islands. Featuring “village hospitality,” organic meals utilizing product from their own garden and their world famous Pina Kolada, Tisa’s is proud of its role as “a pioneer and advocate of Eco-tourism.”
Tisa’s located in Pago Pago, overlooks Alega Bay, home to the Alega Marine Reserve. Tisa, the bar owner, and Candyman, the bartender/chef, are steadfast supporters of the Alega Marine Sanctuary and Ocean Conservation. Their commitment to ocean conservation and the environment as a whole now spans three plus decades. That commitment extends to the bar where they practice a “low impact operation” whose goal is to minimize future damage to all living things.
The dedication to the environment doesn’t mean that fun isn’t to be had at Tisa’s Barefoot Bar. Many festivals, theme nights, parties, etc. are on the schedule. Included among those are the Samoan Umu Feast, Nude Friday, the Palolo Festival and the Tatto Festival.
