But here's the matchbook: Unfortunately, the Room itself leaves something to be desired: It's got a nice, rattan bar, and a bartender in Hawaiian shirt and lei, serving tropical cocktails... But the rest of the room chose to go Exotic in the Oriental fashion, with a Buddha behind the bar, Chinese lanterns, and a pagoda sitting on the bar: Still, I would have gone dancing there, given the chance. Do the folks in Riverside still dress like that? [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy 2009-08-20 00:35 ]
