Well I have been lurking around this place for long time and I thought I wopuld finally contribute to the fun. I have been building my new bar setup and thought I would share some of the pix with you all. I hope you enjoy them.

It’s named the 219 Tiki room. We started having people over for cocktails a while back (when it’s our turn to host the poker nights) and the place has been a hit! We have been missing our old bar, the 908 Tiki since it had to be left behind with our old house. We were sad for a while, but now the drinks are flowing again. So far the house favorite has been the “nut Monkey”.

The bar area was built in the room over the garage. The previous owner actually ran a hair salon out of the space. It has a built in sink and bathroom.

I used thatch and rough hewn wood on the walls for that true island hut feel. Total cost was next to nothing, as the thatch is just 50 cent beach mats stapled to the walls, the staples are covered by the wood strips.

What’s that? What does the flippin’ place look like…well ok…here are some pix.

First, some logos from the old 908 TIKI, I still need to draw up new ones for the new 219 TIKI room.

The bar has a fridge and lots of shelves for shot glasses etc…. It’s made of pine and maple veneer ply wood, with the same wood strips as walls to cover the joints. There’s bar top on the serving areas for water proofing. The thatched top area holds the booze and has halogen lights to light up the bar.

The rest of the room is set up for hanging out and has room for the poker table and etc… I use the big table for stain glass art projects and other stuff, Trying to replace it with a real vintage bamboo living room set from my in-laws den, anyone know some good drink recipes that include arsenic? Yuk Yuk.

Ooh and here is the current 219 TIKI room menu, with the recipe for the nut monkey! If you can read that small.

That’s it thanks for putting up with me! See ya!
