Actually, there are at least six others from MN from this board. Freaky, eh?" Hey, that's great! Surely some of you Minnesotans have been to the Bali Hai on White Bear Avenue before it closed a few years ago. I'm really curious as to what it was like inside.
T.T.G.-I don't know how much of the following information you've had access to previously, but here goes: You can get Polynesian drinks at a restaurant in Minnetonka called Wanderer's.It's off Plymouth Road(right off 394)and the drinks come in ceramic Tiki mugs(which you get to keep).
There is also the Red Dragon which has kind of a somewhat Tikiish atmosphere if you sit in the bar.They serve pretty good Asian/Oriental and Polynesian food. They also have the drinks which are quite strong.If you go to this Minneapolis establishment be prepared however for loud music and an unpleasant odor. The Men's room is absolutely disgusting and the entire place is run-down. The staff is friendly though.
Dane Tiki told me a while back that there is a Tiki apartment building/complex still standing somewhere in Bloomington. I haven't checked it out myself.
Then there is the Maui Taco at the Minneapolis airport. You need an airline ticket in order to get through security to get to it.
