Most drinks were mixed "in glass" with pre-mixed ingredients and ended up tasting really strong but with little character. They used to be a college bar so maybe the bartender was a hold over. It could be that things have improved. They do have a cool dancing hula girl statue and lots of bamboo and thatch. Oh, and they had a REALLY cool mug for sale at the time. I think your first 3 picks should be your priority and then hit Kona if you have time. The Conga Lounge is awesome. The staff has the right Tiki-tude. No matter what, you'll have a blast at any and all of those places. We are spoiled up here in Nor Cal!
