I dont know if this place was posted in another part of the forum but it does fit here. i live in the sarasota-bradenton area and anything tiki (with actual tikis) is rare in these parts. florida just isn't Southern California but we try. was up at johns pass in st pete during our recent winter snap and saw this place hidden behind Bubba Gumps restaurant. Its called "The Hut" and its more of a tourist kind of place but still looks like a nice place to over pay for your drinks. i believe i have been there and must have had a good time since i don't remember being there. my wife said we had a drink or two once.........must have been good! lots of nice things to walk around and see near by for the outta towners. lots of shops.

Bohemiann described it perfect in regards to the sarasota bahi hut.......I also use to practically live at the Bahi hut in sarasota in my younger days..........good place TO DRINK but not for anything tiki. might have forgot being there too a few times after having there famous (mess you up) mai tai's.

these images are not great but they give you an idea:

oh well thats my two scents.....
