Don't get TOO excited, it's possibly not even as "great" as Tiki Tom's, but I did stumble across it and there's no mention of it here yet!

I haven't put it in "Locating Tiki" yet (or Critiki'd it) because I don't have enough information yet to make the entries worthwhile. But anybody who's out and about near Fisherman's Wharf in SF, check it out!

It's at a bar called "Jack's Cannery Bar" on Jefferson (I think) and Leavenworth. It's in the touristy area where I don't get to much, but I was playing tour-guide for my cousin yesterday and ran across a sign that said "NEW TIKI BAR" and it sent me spinning.

Jack's is a regular old tourist bar... but the back room has been converted into a new "tiki bar." It was roped off when I went in to investigate, and nobody was around that I could ask questions of, but I was able to eyeball it and take a couple stealthy pictures.

Here's what I DON'T know:
-how or what the drinks are
-if there's any food or what it's like
-if drinks are served in mugs, or what they are
-what the music is like, if any
-IF IT'S ANY GOOD
-it's story (how long it's been there, who created it, how much of a "true" tikiphile they are, etc.)

Here's what I DO know:
-some bamboo, and decor is not bad... it DOES seem tropical/polynesian in there, and not in a "Rainforest Cafe" sense
-they have four or five TIKI BOBS painted on the poles

So anyone who finds themself around there-- check it out and report back! I will post a link to pictures soon.
