Our visit to The Hapa Haole Hideaway defined the very essence of what Tiki has come to mean for me: the juxtaposition of opposites that is the signature of life itself: sophistication and savagery, the graceful feminine and the virile, the accession of the spiritual through the material. To enter The Hideaway is to come face-to-face with the uncanny, and to be lulled into complete surrender within its womb. And that’s even before the first sip of precision mixology.
Before our visit, however, we had accidentally stumbled upon Swanky’s stone “Tribute to Witco” in a small downtown Knoxville park. When I quizzed him about his anonymous contribution to the public arts, Swanky quickly and modestly changed the topic of conversation to his unique collection of Tiki Farm California Raisins shot glasses.
