Politiki, Washington, D.C. (bar) - Locating Tiki

I believe most of those items were from Englert's private collection. Englert sold the former Poli-Tiki to new owners, who converted the formerly tiki decor basement to a German themed room. Englert seems to have lots of ideas for new themed bars in the DC area, and is looking to revive the H street corridor in Northeast DC. If anyone has the resources and connections to open a new tiki bar in DC, it is probably him. Vern
