2. Trader Vic's Emeryville or Beverly Hills
3. Bahooka
4. Tonga Room
5. Tiki Ti (would be #2 for drink quality)
6. The Alibi
7. Trader Dick's
8. Mrsmiley's basement
9. Sam's Seafood
10. Royal Hawaiian / Damon's / Islands at Hanalei Hotel (tie - OK, so I cheated and put 12 down)

Top ten open places I have not been to that I want to go to (no particular order):
