From Akron? Sure.

I mean, look at it like this.. they serve the Kahiki drinks, and on many weekend nights they are mixed by Jim the Kahiki bartender himself. They serve a lot of the Kahiki food. Including the Tahitian Mermaid. They play exotica and often times have a real hawaiian guitarist playing live. There is a reasonable collection of Kahiki artifacts, including all of the tables and many lamps.

..and if you let us know when you will visit, you may run into some Moai there who will happily drink along with you and generally show you a good time.

Now.. is it the Kahiki? F*ck no. Not even close. But then again, what is? Aside from the Mai Kai, nothing.

I'll take what I can get and make the most of it. Try to help them out with business and hope they make enough dough off of tikiphiles that they decide to go full bore tiki.

It's worth a trip if for no other reason than to chat at the bar with Jim as he mixes you a Kahiki mai tai.
