We consider ourselves central coast up here by Monterey Bay. There are several of us Tiki types around. We've not networked much, but that doesn't mean a visitor couldn't give us a reason for getting together! There are a couple of the best Tiki restaurant/bars outside L.A. here - http://www.hulastiki.com/
They both have back rooms that are spot on old style Tiki. Incredible detail.

We've even got a authentic Tiki apartment complex! - http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=25048&forum=2&hilite=Salinas

@Okolehao-That place looks great. We just got free tickets to Monterey aquarium so we have an excuse to come up there soon. I'll drop you a line when we know when we're coming up your way, we'd love to check out Hula's and meet some cool tiki locals. Do you know if they will allow a 1 year old in the bar and/or restaurant? Don the Beachcomber never had a problem with that and we'd bring her all the time. She loves looking at tiki decor.

Yes, all ages are welcome. My favorites are the Hawaiian pulled pork, wasabi coleslaw, and taro fries with spicy mayo dip. Throw in the Mai Tai and I'm in Tiki heaven.
