LA has to be the only place in the US where a bar is struggling in a location next to a sports complex and a concert venue selling over-priced drinks.

that said; DTLATV has great decent food, great drinks and excellent service.

Actually, TVLA is now doing well. Both times I've been there, in the Spring & Summer,I had to wait for a seat in the Tiki Room and on one of those occasions, the outside patio also was sold out - before a Kings' game.

At the risk of dredging up the "Should Tiki be smaller and pure or diluted and bigger" debate, I'm ok with modifications to keep the doors open.

I do have one complaint: TVLA has not replaced its "Aloha" Mai Tai glasses, which have been used do much the color has rubbed off.
