[i]The polynesian artifacts sound intriguing, but I don't think the Tiki Ti has anything to worry about. Sounds like a place to make the suits feel like they have imaginations. I'll swing by and post some pics later.

Actually, the crowd is more diverse. At happy hour, the place has more "suit" types, although there is a mix of the non-suit downtowners (possibly members of the Santa Fe Art Colony/Brewery or random PIBs making their first stop of the night).

Around 11 pm, it turns into a dance oriented crowd, with women of various types sporting their Nordstroms "hoochie" best and guys dressed accordingly.

Tikis abound, but not the Hawaiian, Marquesean or moai type. In the words of Tiki Bar, it is a "neo-tiki" style bar, as evidence by the neon palm tree, lava flow floor and generous splashes of color.

It also has tropical Gaugin inspired murals like Damon's of Glendale and, tropical martini's like the beloved Purple Orchid (Alas, no tiki mugs)

As Spy Tiki noted, tiki shirts & tops for sale.
