The adverstised 2-1 + pupus happy hour has yet to materialize. I went recently, and there was only one harried waitress tending bar as the bartender did not arrive until 8 p.m. Although the waitress strongly recommended her margaritas, I have had better, to say the least. Do remember to bring your own tiki mug.

However, the upstairs bar is a great vantage point for watching the sunset as the west wall is completely mirrors.

The nightclub was going on that evening, although I had already left by then.

I'm all for bellydancing. Any ethnic and (quasi) historical dancing is appreciated. (particularly when it involves hip gyrating -
the costumes aren't bad, either.)

This is just a guess, but there is a distinct Persian community in Marina del Rey, so maybe "Club Narian" is trying to market itself to them? I'm all for spreading the tiki love.

PS - the bar & bar patio from Sanghai Red's has very reasonably priced appetizers and the view is better than the restaurant patio as it is not blocked by the Lifeguard's boats docked in front. My recommendation is to take in the sunset and then stroll past the exotic water garden at Sanghai Red's to dine on the heat-lamp warmed patio.
