Any TIKI in Clearwater, Florida? - General Tiki

(Even my local Applebee's has one for garsh sakes.) Unfortunately, practically none of them fit our description of what a tiki bar should be. There are just a handful of notable tiki spots around the state. Nothing in Clearwater that I know of. As for tiki bars, there's really only one that qualifies in my book and I think we all know which one that is! Other than that obvious one, maybe the new Trader Vic's in the panhandle will get the drinks right, but they unfortunately got the ambience all wrong from the post-opening pictures I've seen. Other than the Mai-Kai, the best tiki bars in the state are in some of our homes.
