Ok... I plan to be there on wed. to check it out. My friend went there last night and stayed till around 3. His reports came back positive, He bought a mug. Which they don't serve drinks in unless you buy it first(preempting theft problems). Then I was told they will refill it with whatever you order to drink from there on out. They are tiki farm from what I gather. I have taken him to tv atlanta and made him rounds of proper cocktails, so he was probably the only cat in the joint that understood the idea behind it, beyond it's a new bar. He was also the only one he saw drinking out of a tiki mug. Everybody else was drinking beer or out of regular glassware. He had a good conversation with one of the bartenders(maybe an owner?), but my friend had a real enjoyable evening. He also said the mai tai wasn't bad. The bar has one of the large lit moais and a nice wall of eye candy, from the picture he took. One of the booths has a framed picture of tom waits, and the bathrooms hold some piratey secrets. I will investigate further on wed. I hope for a neo-tiki establishment but a neat bar with hints of tiki will be fine with me due to the wastelands definite lack there of. Honestly I also really hope they do have heavy metal karaoke, because i know just the cat to bring to that shindig(and it is on my list of things going into a tiki bar i dream of) |
