They all had valid and important advice. People often ask us why we drive an hour to go to a tiki bar in Alameda (Forbidden Island). "Can't you find a tiki bar closer to home?" They don't get it. Forbidden Island does it right. Do they cater only to the Tiki Crowd? Hell no. But when us Tiki Central people come in, they make us feel welcome and appreciated. Add in the fact that the TC Ohana hang out there, the staff is great, decor is unbelievable, and all the drinks are top notch; you start to understand why people drive long distances to get there. Good luck and once again welcome.
