the PO is slowly gaining levels and atmoshpere of a great tiki bar. it is the first to open in the south bay in over 20 years. i tried to hype it on the yahoo club. it is 2 years old and totally surpasses "panamas" by far.

they got rid of the crappy bud signs above the pool table and went with tapa print style lamps. very nice.

there is somewhat of a shrine to hawaiiana inset in the wall at one end of the bar. looks like a place where a tv once was. it has your standard hula girls and tikis. nice to look at after a few drinks.

they do have live surf music some nights and at least there is good reggae in the juke to set the island mood. we tried bring up an exotica night, but there aren't enough people to keep the vibe going.

kind of like taboo cove. (sigh of discontent)

as stated by most...... it is still evolving. if you are in the area, please frequent it and ask for more exotica.

there are more rum drinks on the menu served in tiki mugs and seahorse mugs. real nice.

there is the resident tikiphile who knows the history of the place to the nth degree. by him a shot of blueberry schnapps and he will be your friend.
i think they have it as the bar is fully loaded with the good stuff. have fun and i'll see you there....someday
