In Search of Tiki in Washington, D.C...Georgians on the Hunt - Tiki Travel

If you're stuck in DC proper, this is a cool place. Consult their website for more info on the place: http://www.modernpoollounge.com/ Also in DC, if you're more into beer, the Brickskeller has a great beer list - they're on 22 between P&Q (that's my mnemonic to remember the address): http://www.thebrickskeller.com/ Sad to say, there's no tiki right in DC proper these days - the places mentioned here are 30 mins to an hour outside of the District. For great food & great drinks and good decor (plus a piano player who apparently may know Quiet Village, & definitely knows the Hukilau song), head out to Pacific as mentioned previously: http://www.chengspacific.com For over-the-top decor, okay drinks, and poor food head to Vera's White Sands (they do have seasonal hours), but you may want to call first. I'd advise you to check their site at http://www.veraswhitesands.com but it seems to be non-existent now. Uh-oh. Not a huge deal, it was of extremely little use when it was up anyway, very little info was to be found.
