Here's a little update.
I walked past the Waikiki on monday morning, by chance, and it turns out it's where the Bahai Thai used to be. (I hadn't realised that it changed hands.) The Bahai Thai was a little bamboo bar with pufferfish lights, and a decent happy hour where they served a 'Tiki God' in a glass Tiki mug. For many a year, it was the only Tiki-esque alternative to Trader Vic's, and we acually kicked off our first British Tiki Convention there.

So, I peeked into the new Waikiki, and was a tad disappointed. Gone was the amusing 'boat table', as well as the cocktail menu on the window. The bamboo had been given a varnish, and there were some Hawaiian magazine covers stuck on the wall, but no Tiki to be seen. Oh, well.
