She's a beauty Tiki Bob. Thanks for the sneak peek. I might have missed your previous posts, but whereabouts in L.A. is the Lucky Tiki? I'd like to make the opening when it happens.

Joey, it's the bar from the "Name the Tiki Bar" contest:

This little gem is located in the San Fernando Valley, where the 405 and the 118 freeways meet. Formerly known as the "Wild Cherry," this bar, built in the '50s, is suspected of being a former tiki bar (unconfirmed as of yet due to its current dive bar appearance). It features a lava rock fagade and a large lava rock fireplace, perfect for a complete tiki restoration. The bar will feature full liquor with tropical drinks and authentic tiki dicor including carvings and paintings from some of the best contemporary tiki artists. We will have our very own custom tiki mug, DJ's, special events and island tunes to take you far, far away.

I haven't been up in that neighborhood in years, but I'm enjoying the pictures & I hope to see this in person when it's complete.
