Nice. Thanks for the heads up. Here's a plug for two other great bars in the nabe, the Galley and Chez Jay. Maybe not Tiki, but Tiki's close cousin - the nautical bar.

If you appeciate Tiki Ti for it's old-school historic and eclectic significance, you'll like these places. The Mai Tai at the Galley is a great 2nd generation version.

I'm looking foward to the "Roe Ae" version at Copa D'oro !! (Even though it's located at the horror which is Third Street Promenade). You might see the ghost of Chris Penn sitting at the bar. He was a regular there when it was the 217 Bar. He played "Nice Guy Eddie" in Reservoir Dogs. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001606/bio
