I finally made it down to False Idol this weekend (phone died, unable to take photos). I must say, this place is unlike any other tiki place I have ever seen. Bosko did an amazing job. When you see a place with wall to wall carvings, you realize how much filler is in a normal tiki bar. It's amazing. It feels like you are inside a carving. It's hard to describe.

I do wish the lights on the rock wall were toned down a bit and I wish the bar had more memorabilia in it. But this place is truly a masterpiece.

The drinks were fantastic. The three I had were tart, citrus strong drinks. The menu tends to lean that way. It was a Saturday night. Our reservations were at 7. The place was filled.

I at first thought I would be put off by needing reservations and didn't think it needed the whole speakeasy entrance. But the more I thought about it, it's a great form of crowd control. The Craft and Commerce restaurant was slammed. Without the reservations and the hidden entrance, the place would have a line down the road and the place would be slammed. They are able to keep a comfortable crowd. I did appreciate it. The bartenders did a great job (a million times faster than Smugglers Cove). They were attentive and on point.

Please visit False Idol if you have a chance. You will be stunned by how beautiful this work of art is.
