I've been going to the Honolulu on and off since 1983 or so. It is definitley a tiki bar built on love. David Chan and his wife are wonderful warm people that have endured many ups and downs in the business. David was a bar tender at the DC Trader Vics and I've read somewhere that he used to make Mai-Tai's for Richard Nixon. That makes him a bonafide national tiki treasure in my book.
The bar is definitely a little long in the tooth though. I've always thought it would be nice to present them with some little decorative item for the bar, like a pufferfish or something.
