I was surprised to not see this up here already. I was in college when the original was running, then (thanks to Search) back in 2013 supposedly it was going to make a comeback. Not sure why it didn't happen, but it didn't.

Fast forward to 2024 and the owner is able to get it the team back together again, where many of the original artists are contributing to decor once again. All the original stuff (tikis etc) supposedly was saved too, and by the few photos you can see on their social media it visually looks promising.

I do know that the bar manager from Idle Hour is involved, and having met him a few months ago, he's very motivated. He's newer to the tiki scene than some of us, but not a noobie. Although I wish it was back in SFV as it would be closer to me, I'm excited to see a new place and hope it thrives.

I'm sure some of you guys can speak more to the the original and what it was like, but 20 years later I'm hoping is only an improvement on the past.
