New tiki bar opening in Pittsburgh - General Tiki

If not already, a new tiki bar will soon be coming to life here on the southside of town. This neck of Pittsburgh is a very trendy/artsy area (coffee shops, bead shops, shops that sell '60s and 70s toys, performance artists, etc..). I'm not sure what it will be called, but I know that two very nice people were working on the outside facade a month ago when I walked by and did a double take. You enter the establishment through the mouth of a 10-15 foot tall tiki god. They informed me that the joint will have a working waterfall and will try to create the right atmosphere (no ESPN on TV, authentic drinks out of mugs and the sort). Time will tell, but if there's a location in this city where something like this will succeed, it's East Carson Street. I might even look into a night job there just to help keep things on track :wink: I'll make my report here sometime in the near future. BTW, one of our city's resident celebrity performers, Sharon "Mama" Spell, is a rabid collector of tiki items (or so I've been told). I know that she was at Kahiki's last bash in August of last year. I'm sorry that I couldn't have made the short trip to Columbus to partake in the festivities. Take care.
