Hello everyone. I'm new here. Also, I have opinions, like many of you.

Donn's was absolutely the first Tiki Bar. So what if it didn't have tikis in it? Tiki evolved from Donn's, yes, but he is the popular father of it all. Tiki is still evolving. That's much better than it being dead.

Also, nautical can be Tiki or not, depending on the obvious intention of the designer. Molokai Bar anyone?

Also, who in the world would throw shade at The Golden Tiki?? It runs laps around what what Frankie's is today. Frankie's is fine; they are different places, but they're both Tiki Bars. I've only been to 15 or so Tiki Bars, but The GT is easily the best I've seen. Easily.

Otherwise, just enjoy it all! It's all evolved from Don & Vic's creations!
