We think the Bahi Hut on the Tamiami Trail in Sarasota should go on the list. Bill Johnston opened it in September 1954, and aside from a few color TVs, it hasn't changed a bit. While properly a bar, not a restuarant, there is the complimentary Ritz crackers and port cheese spread in the huge white tub---known to help the wahines take the edge off the mai-tais and sneaky tikis! And Bikini Lounge in Phoenix, new to us, sounds like it's worth investigating... |
