Home Bars NOT On Tiki Central - Home Tiki Bars

Are we picking up a theme here? Something going on in Oregon that makes people disappear off TC?) We think it's called The Monkey Hut In Exile now (possibly a second location or incarnation?), and it looks pretty sweet. Critki's Humuhumu broadcast live there last July, and watching these clips entertained us greatly from our position with a couple of Fog Cutters at the Don the Beachcomber table in the Treasure Island Room. The owners seem like really nice people that we could have all kinds of great discussions with about exotic libations ... they've done a lot of creative stuff in their bar, too, as shown in those clips on the link, which makes us wonder why they're not on TC. But wait, they were! Just not the bar ... it's the creation of longtime TC member Melintur, who hasn't been around these parts since 2012, several months before the Mayan calendar ran out. But in ten years of activity here, the home bar was never mentioned. It's a pretty great looking place! He does run a tiki-related site worth visiting: http://www.coloneltiki.com/ The Monkey Hut was featured in the inflight mag for Hawaiian Airlines back in Aug 2016, in a good article about "Basement Bora Boras" (not to be confused with Bora Boris, who probably should not be randomly appearing in your basement).
