Toucan’s Palm Springs is pretty cool! Got some old school vibe to it although the drink menu does not feature any of the classics save a Mai Tai (Hawaiian style). I had a Stella and My wife tried the m t.
The barkeep Jim was personable and attentive to our needs.
There is too much light in the place (inho) due to the glass doors in the walls. The decor gave me some ideas that I may try in my happy talk lounge/shark bite bar. I also have more natural light in my place than I want but I’m working on a solution. I really liked the tiki torches with fake flames.
I’d luv to have some tiki torches in my place but I sure don’t wanna burn it down before its completed. We were there about noon or so and had a very pleasant time. Check it out when you’re town.
The link (geocities) is long gone so I ‘m adding some pix to this post.
Cheers

too bad the movie screen is blocking out part of a nice mural

one of several “tiki grottos”. I think it had water in it at some time.one pic with flash, one without.

another tiki grotto

one of a pair of well worn “tiki poles" flanking the dance floor

next two are some cool chunk swags (there are more hanging throughout)


Heres my tiki queen at the bar
