They completely rebuilt the place after their fire (I think it was in 1998 or so?), but kept the full on vintage Tiki vibe. Most of the vintage Tiki decor survived the fire and still exists there, but the place feels a lot cleaner than a 40 year old untouched place might. Maybe this is a good thing, a hybrid we don't see too often: an authentic vintage place but one where your feet don't stick to the floor... Well worth a visit.
