The Reef Bar had been remodeled by Bamboo Ben when it was still operated by the hotel; unfortunately at that time, it was only open on the week-ends after 5:00. In 2006, the bar was transferred to independent owners, and the name was changed to Hawaiian Bill's.

The bar and restaurant is back with a vengence and is cleaning up rather nicely. The food is outstanding as are many of the drinks. Given the regular luaus and live Hawiaan music, it is important that as many people stop by and share their own thoughts with Bill as possible. Why? The "Reef Bar" is not only historic, it is one of the few places that is being brought back to life after laying on the operating table as it was being pushed to the morgue. Now, Bill and his partner are planning on opening a second location in the eastern part of the valley. Here is a great opportunity to encourage a new "from the ground up" tiki restaurant based on the real thing. What do you think?
