It also has some fake tropical decor and features inexpensive ($5.50 mai-tais). I believe it is the only other classic tiki bar in the City of Los Angeles, other than the beloved TIKI-TI. However, unlike Tiki-Ti, there is no scene, although it does have a loyal and very friendly group of regulars (some of whom appeared to be older than the bar). The bar has great potential, but could use a little freshening up and a lot of airing out (Smoker's welcome, but my request if cigars were allowable met with a less than welcome reception).
