It is located on the main strip in Lake George, New York, which is a summer hang out and vacation spot for many upstate families. Clearly the entire area was once a swinging spot with googie properties everywhere. The town itself and most of the businesses really cater to the family and therefore are a bit average (rundown) in appearance. The Tiki, however, does have some splendor left in it. With the Waikiki Supper Club and fire dancing (summer only) the Tiki offers an (reasonably) authentic escape, especially for its Adirondac Mountain location. The exterior of the Tiki is quite profoundly Polynesian and consists of two large A-Frame structures and multiple small A-Frame "huts" connecting the two larger. This was possibly the original resort. Behind is located multiple 2 story lodging buildings and a pool. Inside the larger large A-Frame is the bar; rock wall, waterfall, stream and fake palms abound. An outrigger, sparce tikis/masks, puffer fish, glass floats and other Polynesian paraphernalia round out the bar area. [ Edited by: Primo Kimo on 2004-03-19 06:08 ]
