Description:
The opening of this bar seems to have escaped the radar of national Tiki attention. I had the opportunity to visit in April before the bar was really up and running but most of the decor was in. The local Ft. Lauderdale Rockabilly and Hot Rod scenesters know the Kreepy Tiki bar well as it has hosted many live bands as a club and beer joint. But they recently got their liquor license and have chosen to focus on the bar and less on the bands. Jaksin posted about his tattoo shop when it opened in 2008. I can vouch not only for his shop (I have two tats from Jaksin) but for Jaksin and his crew as being bona fide Tiki lovers. I met them at the Hukilau one year and many moons ago they hosted a Mai Kai reunion event bringing together many of the former Mai Kai performers.

There are a bunch of photos of the tattoo shop next door and it is still thriving and lookin just as Tiki as ever
