Description:
Ok, quite possibly my new favorite place in Atlanta is now combining 2 of my favorite things. A twist of Twin Peaks and Tiki. The Bookhouse Pub opened recently in Atlanta just off of Ponce De Leon and has recently added a small outdoor Tiki bar in the back called Dr. Jacoby's Coconut. For those of you that remember Twin Peaks I'm sure you recall Dr. Jacob's Hawaiian shirts and a few Tiki sightings in his office and home. Here are a few:

A few Coco Joe's hanging out with a vintage panther lamp.

The drinks are made VERY well and they even have them served up in Tiki mugs, or what was my choice, a fish head mug. I asked the bartender how he came to make the drinks and he said he's studied the "Grog Log" through and through. I also told him of Intoxica and Sippin' Safari so we'll see how it goes from here.

The food was great and the Twin Peaks theme to the pub is subtle yet appreciated. Here are some photos - be sure to stop by!
