Yikes, what posted pictures are these ??

You know, I've been to most of the operational Tiki bars in the West, both authentic mid-century and Tiki Revival. I think however my most favorite in the world is the Mai Kai (even though I've never been there).

To know that one of the legendary Tiki palaces documented in BOT is still in existence, brings a mystique and enjoyment to my overall Poly-Pop experience no matter what Tiki bar I happen to be drinking in. Does the Mai Kai have the greatest Tropical drinks in the world? Is the TIPSY ratio unparalleled? Does it exude a timeless Tiki atmosphere unmatched anywhere? In my mind it does and for that reason I'm glad it's still with us.

(And please Right Coasters, don't bother replying "Yes to all" because I already know you're going to say that. :))

Sometimes expectations can be better enjoyed than the reality. I'm almost afraid now to visit.
