Not too much tiki in SD. A few places have tiki Tuesday, High Dive, Bar Pink and Nobel Experiment.

Trader Morts and Freaky Boutiki are good stores to check out.

Also just got a hot tip from OB Tiki, Raglan in OB he's a new rum drink! There first one I wouldn't have served to my worst enemy, but this new one is from a bartender who used to work at Tikis bar and grill in Waikiki. There they have a drink called the 1944 Mai Tai. At Raglan it is called the Rum Drink 2.0. I don't want to say it is exact in fear that they might take it away from me, but it is the best Mai Tai in SD besides Bali Hai IMHO. Although, I cannot vouch for the music or menu metaphors here.

Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely plan on going back to Trader Mort's and Freaky Boutiki again. I've been to Bar Pink before and, between the drinks, the crowd, and the band, I had a great time. Now, here's a loaded question... Are High Dive and Noble Experiment "fun"? What I mean to say is are they frat boy/Jimmy Buffet bars or pretentious cocktail snobs, respectively? Not to be an unyielding tiki purist, but I'll only be in town for 1 Tuesday, and I wouldn't mind going back to Bar Pink if it is the best choice.
