Actually as a sub-culture, Lounge (Cocktail Nation ??) has come and gone. Most of the L.A. places that Frankie Gillette mentioned are dust. Tiki-Ti, on the other hand, is still rocking like it's 1961. One cool thing about Tiki is that people really are much more friendly. I've never failed to strike up cool conversations with perfect strangers at Tiki-Ti, Bahooka, Forbidden Island, and Frankie's. Maybe rum (vs. gin or whiskey) makes people nicer. :)
