Hanford & I were invited to a Game Developers Conference party at Smoke Tiki last week.

Pros:

  • tasty food (the "smoke" in Smoke Tiki is because it's a smokehouse)
  • friendly service
  • lots of tikis
  • some neat bamboo & a-frame details inside
  • big back patio with a second bar

Cons:

  • music so bad, you're worried it's going to follow you home and do unspeakable things to your dog
  • "drinks" that would serve better as a glaze over angel food cake
  • aforementioned music is so loud that you can't hear a goddamned thing
  • some of the tikiness is on the cartoony side
  • lit like a bad disco
