Well that is a given.

So many Portland bars are edgy, for the point of just being edgy.I didn't go out for a dose of attitude.

I'm looking for career bartenders, not people who are just doing this until their real career kicks in.

I've a line on an old TV bartender who would run the show.

Fresh fruit, no mixers.

I hate to do it, because I really don't like copying others work, but man-o-man that Kona Club volcano is cool. I've even asked all my advertising and creative buddies to come up with something.

No one can top the volcano.

PS, Denny's on Janzen Beach is the last unmolested denny's in the country. It has never been remodeled and still has all the Armet and Davis elements.

Armet and Davis were So Cal's top notch "Googie" architects and also did many tiki joints including these.

The reason I bring all this up...Sunday, Denny's will close for what I can imagine will be a crap remodel. I get all the booths and Eames Chairs. These will go into the new tiki bar.
