The place is mainly a venue to see bands, have some food, music and of course, good drinks....Mike has been a fan of tiki for some time now, even helped out during exotica 2003 by having delilahs as a stop on the tour....long story short, the upstairs lounge is a separate room and bar called the "volcano room"....this is not going to be a full blown tiki room so don't get your expectations too high at this point...what it will have, is really great rum selections, frozen drinks and great tropical drinks....mike has always been about the booze and that is the main focus...the lounge opens up to one of the best outdoor seating decks with the most comanding view of the chicago skyline i have ever seen for a bar.....i can't wait to drink mai tais on summer nights out there.....guest d.j.'s will also be invited to spin at the upstairs booth too. I am trying to keep within mikes guide lines for the look of the bar, which will be more hinky dink's/sailor jerry/beverly hills trader vics in essence....think "1930/40's adventure bar, where folks like thor heyerdahl would stop in to tell tales of his adventures over rum and look at the strange carvings and souveniers brought back by him and ohters that will adorn the place....the place will also be host to many events...tiki and otherwise....in fact, this place would be a great location for another exotica event, as they have the room to house vendors, music, food, car show, whatever..... again, this will not be really over the top, ...i don't want to build up too many expectations in terms of decor....but you can expect great drinks and atmoshpere....at this point i'm just tryin to keep the place from lookin too much like some mexican cantina on key west or some carribean parrot head lookin place....stay tuned....
