Yup, top floor at Harvey's in South Shore. Had windows on three sides, dark blue/nvy/black carpeting with kinda generic fronds and flowers woven in - standar casino level wool carpeting. Had low lighting and a selection of tiki drinks. Some Polynesian appetizers and dishes from time to time, but nothing I would describe as having established any certain tradition. Standard round, wood tables, with seating for four around them. Maybe one or two "rattan twig" seats - by that I mean only one or two 'rings' of rattan, with single rattan backs. Had a smokey DJ area and a small parquet dance floor. No tiki music, per se. Maybe ten or so different tiki drinks on the menu, but they all kinda ended up being the same - pineappla juice, grenadine, and rum. No distinctive swizzle sticks or cherry sticks that I can recall. On the main hotel level, I seem to recall one concrete semi-tiki announcing the presence of the lounge. |
