Well, dammit! I missed that week's edition of the Dallas Observer and the Grand Opening (if there WAS one) of Tiki Bobs! Sounds like I haven't missed much else, though. The place must not have much of an advertising budget, because I haven't seen any print ads or heard anything on the radio. The West End District here is for (as a good friend of mine puts it) "tourists and ne'er-do-wells."

I may go down there & take a quick peek around, although I'm sure it's as hideous as the eloquent reviewer stated. I'll be sure to follow up with a post here. The location it is in has been home to 4-5 establishments in the last 4-5 years, each one sure they would make it. I'll bet its not around by Christmas....heck, I'll live on the edge... make that Thanksgiving!

The really sad thing is that some of the folks in this town will go away thinking that Tiki Bob's is true tiki....and that's the saddest thing of all.
