Luckily we made it out of El Segundo with our wallets. On to Trader Vic's.

This downtown Los Angeles Trader Vic's would be a fun place to go if you are waiting to get into the Staples center. I don't want to talk badly about a business especially one that decorates with tiki totems, but I do want to give my opinion. I liked the food that we had. I had a burger but they didn't put cheese on it which I would have liked. This was my second time getting drinks here. Basically the same experience twice. I don't think the drinks are good at all. I guess I am a Don's guy. I have tried 4 different drinks here and they are all too sweet and they don't seem to "blend" the flavors together well. I just had one drink this time and cut my losses. So in my opinion, don't travel to this place. If you find yourself stranded in front of it, and you are sick of the yardhouse, you should give downtown LA Trader Vic's a try.

After that we had some dinner and made it to Tiki Ti at 7:30. Always an exciting time at Tiki Ti! Congratulations to Mike Jr on his new daughter born on Sunday! The next generation might hold a female bartender at Tiki Ti! It was an extra special toast this Wednesday. Everyone was in great spirits and it seemed like everyone was going to the Oasis. Lots of people coming and going and it was crowded as usual. I young guy fainted and face planted right next to our table. That was the action for the night. I bet my record on how many drinks I have had at Tiki Ti in one sitting. 4 drinks in the four hours we sat there. Sure I was trying to go slowly, but I wanted to make the best stop on the SoCal Tiki Tour last. All of the drinks were great as always. Everyone liked them and my brother joined us for yesterday and today. Should be another great day for rum and fun!
