I did do a reconnaissance mission to this place in 2002.
It is in Tiki Road Trip, on page 117.

The scoop is:
As predicted above, this is an uber-trendy, expensive Gold Coast night club with nothing Tiki about it whatsoever.
EXCEPT: they got an ex-Trader Vic's bar tender to design a drink menu, and for a while he (David Yow) was tending bar there once in a while.

Avoid this place at all costs.

Surly bouncers with walkie talkies, velvet rope, $20-ish cover charge, can't get in without being dressed in trendy fashions, everyone posing trying to seem like money.... it'll make you gag.

There's a reason why this place was not approached for Exotica this year, or any other!
