Groovy!! Thanks so much for all the great recommendations! (And for letting me hijack your thread Mike!)

Yeah, the Bamboo Hut did not look very inviting and was really only on the list because it looked within our target area. Somebody offline told me that Bar Agricole had changed its format and is less "rum oriented" so it looks like that's off the itinerary as well. (Although one might say that they should consider changing the name of the bar if they are going to do that...)

I was already hip to both Whitechapel and Bourbon & Branch but since this trip was pretty "tiki specific" I was saving those for a longer, less targeted drinking excursion. (Also the missus is fairly gin-averse, so it might take some "talking into" if I want to go to Whitechapel, but you guys certainly do make a very persuasive case...) Li Po Lounge looks to be within stumbling distance from our hotel so that certainly might be in the cards and our hotel is right next to the Mark Hopkins so I am confidant there will be at least a quick, non-tiki visit to the Top of the Mark, even if it is just for hair-of-the-dog Mimosas or Bloody Marys.

Does anybody have an opinion on The Den? It's way out of bounds for our target area, but if folks think it is worth it enough we might be persuaded to make the extra effort.

Somebody also mentioned to me that The Slanted Door in the Ferry Building, while not a tiki location by any means, has some tasty tiki classics on its drink menu. Any thoughts?
