How can a simple trip to arizona to see tombstone, old Tucson and Bisby go tiki?, by simple accident of course!.While returning from tombstone with my wife, I got off the 10 frwy to show her where my granny lived and I spent many a summer. I was traveling down Broadway when I spotted a sign that said "Kon Tiki" on it and I hit the brakes and turned right mighty fast!. After parking , we walked up to a semi-plain looking entrance with some older looking tikis out front and then I remembered the tiki bar review of this place.We went inside and all that I could do is gasp!.This place was bad-ass to the bone!. It was about 3pm and the place was already half full on a friday!.We ordered drinks and shrimp cocktail and just looked around in disbelief at how cool this place is!.After the drink,
I begged the wife to spend the night in Tucson so we could come back for dinner. I got the nod and we came back at 8pm and the joint was jumping!!. Diners get seated away from the twenty somethings that made up 70% of the drinkers (many super fine gals!!), so we could enjoy ourselves. Dinner was great, and the drinks were pretty decent.I met the manager and asked him about future plans.He is a young guy with his head on straight!.I got so jazzed up from this, when we were going home I decided to stop in palm springs and stay at that tropics place!. I saw pics of all the heavy hitters at TC as I walked in and just smiled!.I will be coming back to this place many a time!.You have been warned!. Peace. TWT
