I would totally go here if I were even as close as one state away.
What an AWSOME place.

That Quilted pleather wall, those squat club chairs, Perfect!

Have seen new tiki bars with F-ing benches! And even one with those plastic patio
chairs that are super cheap.
And the drinks are still like $11.00 bucks or more.

This place has that old school vibe.
Man TC folks go to this place and don't be one of those "damn I wish I had gone to the Kahiki before it closed" people.
I put a sign in my restaurant telling people to go to the Kahiki before it closed.
When was the last time you saw another restaurant tell you to go to another restaurant.

And now that the place has heard that the drinks could improve that they too will work
with you in that area.
You need to remember that a place like this may have trouble putting $12.00+ drinks on their menu.
I know when I raised my prices ten cents people went NUTZ!

I for one will help in anyway with lighting if needed at no cost.
If you need one of those lights outside retied this I can do as well.

Thanks again DixonAlibi, being on TC can only help your restaurant.
I was born into the restaurant biz and know how hard it can be.
Had many people over the years bail me out with help when I needed it and
try to repay that karma debt back when I can.

Welcome to TC!
BEST OF LUCK!!

Thanks Skip!

We are definitely more of a volume bar/club, and always have been, so it makes it a bit harder to do the more 'craft' tiki cocktails. That being said, we are working on a supplimental drink menu that will boast more high end liquors, classic recipes, and our own twists. We want to have something for everyone!

In talking with Roy Ell's son, we've learned that he was constantly trying to out-do the Portland Kon-Tiki and he must have done quite a bit right to outlive the Kon-Tiki!
