We visited a couple weeks back, here's what I posted on /r/tiki(if there's any redditors on here):

From the get-go, the decor was on point.

The drinks were great too, but my girlfriend and I agreed we still prefer Frankie's for the originality in their drinks and the intimacy.

The Golden Tiki is still a sight to see. As you walk in, you're greet with a dark waterfall and Yo Ho. It definitely puts you in the right mood.
Now tonight, to me anyway, the music was ok. Wasn't really what you'd expect for a tiki bar, as their DJ played mostly 80s and 90s hip hop.
I like the music, but again, not what I had in mind for a tiki bar.

For a Sunday night these folks were still slammed.
We chatted with the bar back briefly, but only because he didn't stop running around the entire time we were there.

I tried The Golden Tiki, which was delicious! And their Navy Grog, which they claim, on their menu, that it comes with the ice cone but mine didn't and the drink left something to be desired.
And their Painkiller with the Dole Whip, which was one of the best Painkillers I've had the pleasure of drinking.

I was disappointed to see they didn't have their signature mugs yet, so I left here empty handed.
But I snagged all the swizzle sticks from my drinks, so those will be a nice addition to my growing collection.

Overall we enjoyed The Golden Tiki, but Frankie's is still our #1.
