Went there on Saturday night and was not disappointed! My group was there early enough, and I was wearing a snazzy shirt with a tiki sewn into it, so we were offered the private lounge area.

As much as I tried to talk them into letting me buy the Urchin mug a couple days early, the manager very apologetically declined. And, of course, I understood. The service was great, the music was sometimes a little loud, but considering the playlist was could have been straight off my iPod, that wasn't really a problem!

I purchased three mugs, all by Tiki Farm, and $15 each. Fair price.
1 - The Onigawara (still available from Tiki Farm) had the bar logo imprinted on the back.

2 - The Ika Ariki in light blue was not imprinted, but there is space on the back were a Rapa Nui Birdman should be.

3 - A pineapple mug that I haven't seen before, with the bar logo on the back, printed on somewhat raised lettering of the same logo

We arrived at the bar just before 7 and by the time we left, just after 10, the was a line of people to get in. I didn't try any of the food, as I was still full from dinner at the Cuban restaurant just up the street (which offers 4 variations of flights of rum, as well as a flight of mojitos), but the rest of my group ordered just about every dish on the menu and loved it.

We had about 8 different drinks, and they were all delicious! I had to keep turning on my phone in order to examine the garnishing!

We even got to witness a "normal" group of about 15 people order the $380 Treasure Chest, which is carried out with dry ice smoke pouring out. The server then opens and pours a bottle of Dom into its hold. I hope they keep serving these to the bottle service crowd, so the rest of us normal folk can can keep enjoying our tiki drinks!
