It's time to have an LA Tiki Bar Crawl. Who's In?

I like the idea of a LA Crawl. This is something that many of us have talked about doing for years. Yes, the chartering of the bus seems daunting, but it sounds like it could be a fun time.

I don't think I have time to be an organizer but I'd love to be an attendee.

Below is a modified version of your suggested schedule just to show some options. I'm sure a thousand tweaks would have to be done before we got something that everyone thought would work best. I tried to work in The Warehouse, Beachcomber's Cafe, and Royal Hawaiian. Also, I thought Bahooka's is a long hike away from the rest of the Friday events, so I made it the start and not the finish of the evening since Bahooka's closes at 10 and the other bars are open later.

FRIDAY - on The West Side

Meet at Beverly Hills Trader Vics to lounge by the pool and have cocktails to start the day around 12:00 noon.
Late lunch at The Warehouse in Marina Del Rey at 2:00.
Cocktails at the Purple Orchid at 4:00.
Dinner at downtown Trader Vic's around 7:00 till 10:00 close.

FRIDAY in LA and Hollywood

Lunch at Bahooka's in Rosemead around 1:00.
Tiki Ti in Los Angeles for cocktails at 4:00.
Dinner at Damon's in Glendale around 6:30.
Tonga Hut in North Hollywood at 8:30.
Tiki No in North Hollywood at 10:00 till close.

SATURDAY at the Beaches

Park at Crystal Cove parking and take shuttle across PCH to Beachcomber Cafe for 11:30 breakfast.
Late lunch at the Royal Hawaiian at 2:30.
Cocktails at Puka Bar at 4:30.
Dinner at Don the Beachcombers at 7:00 till close.

I think some consolidation is in order because:

  1. The bus can be only on Saturday;
  2. Thurs is a school night;
  3. Purple Orchid may have a band (if we ask nicely) and I feel bad about leaving there to go elsewhere;
  4. Driving after a few drinks from Bev Hills to LA Live is not the best idea (or, it is past time for my luck to run out);
  5. The Wharehouse is Nautical, but not Tiki; and
  6. Sunday is a slow, short day to hit the beach & have hair of the dog, which ends early after the prior two nights of Tiki revelry

FRIDAY

Late lunch at downtown Trader Vic's 3 pm
Beverly Hills Trader Vics poolside cocktail & dinner 4- 7
Purple Orchid at 8- end
