Aloha Tiki enthusiasts!
Thanks to all of you for your overwhelming response to the "Name That Tiki Bar" contest. We had so many creative submissions that it was hard to choose just one name. But, we finally picked a winner....drum roll please...."The Lucky Tiki" submitted by Terri Burton of Sherman Oaks, California.

We'd like to give you some insight into how the name was chosen. After careful thought, it was decided that having Tiki in the name would be good. After all, folks looking for the bar would have no problems on search engines or 411 calls looking up the Tiki bar in the Valley.

So, we narrowed down our favorite submissions with Tiki in the name. The Lucky Tiki was our favorite. Special thanks to our old friends Otto von Stroheim of Tiki News and Sven Kirsten author of the Book of Tiki for their help in choosing the name. Thanks also goes out to Lee Joseph of Dionysus Records for organizing the contest.

Second runner up was the Valley Hai submitted first by Sven Kirsten (also submitted by several others of you) will be one of our specialty drinks. We would like to use another submission, the Enchanted Drinking Room as one of our Lucky Tiki slogans.

Thanks again! We will keep you posted with details of the Lucky Tiki as well as sneak preview photos of the interior.

Hope to see all of you at the Lucky Tiki!
Mahalo,
Bobby Green and the crew and staff of the Lucky Tiki
