Donn Beach, born Ernest Raymond Gantt, is widely regarded as the founding father of American Tiki culture and the creator of many of the tropical cocktails enjoyed around the world today. A pioneer of the craft, he combined multiple styles of rum, fresh juices, house-made syrups, and proprietary spice blends into what he called his “Rhum Rhapsodies,” creating drinks and experiences that transported guests far from the everyday.

Driven by a passion for exploration, creativity, and hospitality, Donn believed a great bar should be more than a place to have a drink. It should be an immersive escape.

By Don the Beachcomber carries that vision forward with distinctive bar-forward concepts inspired by his legacy. Each destination is committed to exceptional cocktails, quality ingredients, immersive design, and unforgettable hospitality, while embracing the modern craft cocktail movement across rum, whiskey, agave spirits, gin, and beyond.

Every By Don the Beachcomber location offers its own unique atmosphere and menu, united by a shared mission: creating remarkable experiences that invite guests to step away from the ordinary and into a world of adventure, discovery, and escapism.
