Vaguely reminiscent of Portland's new Trader Vic's. Those fishing float lights look VERY much like the ones that now hang outside the Alibi. They've been recently refurbished but those floats have hung outside the Alibi for as long as I remember, and they were old when I first saw 'em 13 years ago. Wonder if they were salvaged from the Kon Tiki? Much of what was in the old Jasmine Tree (some of which made it's way to Thatch and still resides in Hale Pele) was salvaged from Kon Tiki, or so I'm told, so a trip to Hale Pele is about the only way to catch a glimpse of the former glory of Kon Tiki.
