Bring a photo I.D., like your drivers license. They will most likely have someone carding at the door on Saturday, since it's a busy day at the Tiki Ti. And guess what? No I.D., no drink for you, no matter how old you look!

Bring lots of cash. If you buy three drinks, a t-shirt, and a coconut mug, then that's gonna cost you well over $50 bucks including tip, actually more like over $60 bucks.

You mentioned that you and your friends want to sit down. If you want to sit at a table, then I suggest you get there when they open. It will become very packed in a short amount of time on a Saturday evening, and then there will be a wait to get into a crowded bar. You could get there a little before 6pm, and should be fine.

Smoke 'em if you've got 'em. Cigars are okay there as well. But if you don't smoke, then be prepared for the others that are gonna smoke 'em if they got 'em, including cigars.

I haven't been to the Tiki Ti as much as others around here, but the four drinks I would recommend for a first timer are the Ray's Mistake, the Bayanihan, the Blood and Sand, and the Uga Booga. Those should give you a good dose of Tiki Ti spirit.

Lastly, try to grab something to eat right before you get there at opening. They do have a snack food mix there, that they call kibble, but that's about it. Or be prepared to hit some place afterwards like Pink's to help sop up all that alcohol. Or both.

Have fun, it's a great place!!!
