A few years ago the owners of hala kahiki talked of making some rennovations to the place.... well, last night i was in there (tikibars i just missed you) and found out that allegedly starting in july (this shouldn't effect exotica 2007 folks) hala kahiki is finally going to build an extended tiki hut outrigger type roof over their outdoor walkway, the main reason being is to provide protection from the elements for patrons and prevent ice slippage in winter.......it should look as cool as it sounds.....the temporary entrance will be the entrance located opposite the main entrance left of the bar till completion and the gift shop is to be moved behind the building with access through that door which means you no longer will have to go outside to get to and from the gift shop nor will you have to lose your place in line while waiting to be seated.....I am in the process of hooking them up with the old bar/nightclub design company i used to work for to do the job......will keep you poste with progress and pics......i don't think any work will be started during the exotica weekend so don't worry about it getting in the way.....but do take pics when visiting cause by the time you come back, it may have a new look!!

also, when i asked sonny about installing a tiki themed bowling alley and roller coaster in the yard he said " yeah dave....i'll have some of whatever it is you've been smokin!!"

..as for vintage tiki....there is a 2 foot tiki that was in their gift shop window forever that is now marked with a $145 price tag to anyone that wants it.....it's in front of the hawaiian shirt rack next to the wayne coombs tiki...here's a great chance to own one of hala kahikis original vintage tiki treasures......i didn't buy it cause i have no room and rather then sell it on ebay and make a couple hundred off it i figured i'd put the word out to have it go to a good home where it will be appreciated.

...damn, i am way too nice to you people!!

enjoy the summer!!
