Their mugs are MUCH better priced that the Kahiki's but they don't have the monkey! The Kahiki mugs start at $22 Euros! BIG warning: the Aloha only take cash, so bring plenty if you plan to buy out the mugs as I did! But smart fellows that they were, they provided me with a barback to escort me to the ATM across the street (it was 3:30 AM after all, and I was alone!) so I could draw out more cash and pay for ALL the mugs I could carry, not just the ones for which I happened to have enough cash! Good business practice! The cheapest mug, the Aloha signature mug with a Hawaiian wahine on the front and Aloha on the back, was $14 Euros (maybe 12?). The pendant is $3 Euros, and the rest of the mugs go for 16 on up into the high 20's. Bowls were prohibitive for my budget, as the Euro happened to suck like a Hoover when I was there. I think the Aloha ashtray was $8 Euros? NOTE: I am told that Otto got all of his from the Kahala for much cheaper than this, so if you're mug hunting, I'd start there first. It (the Kahala) is the farthest out of the 3 Barcelona tiki bars, so a pub crawl should probably start there anyway. It's out quite east-northeast from the main part of town. NEXT time I'll get there!!
