I just dropped off a couple of carved tiki bar stools, and a shelf. I'm honored to be working for the Lucky TIki. Yes, Crazy Al rules. I've never seen so much detail and depth in palm before. It will for sure be the main attraction in the brochures. Lucky did a gnarly job on some new hand carved signs out front, they'll tractor-beam you in like no tommorow. And that logo by Kevin Kidney kicks so much ace! TC page Or TiKi tOny.cOm or my clothing line adrift [ Edited by: tikitony on 2004-12-07 19:08 ]

TB Tiki Bob Tiki Centralite Joined: Oct 19, 2004 Posts: 41	TB Tiki Bob Posted posted on Sun, Dec 12, 2004 10:54 PM Aloha! I am very proud to announce the grand opening of my fantastic new theme bar, the Lucky Tiki. I invite you to join me on Tuesday, December 21st for a private party for all of my Tiki Central friends. (This is a Tiki Central only night) At the Lucky Tiki, you'll feel like you've discovered your own 1950's hideaway. From the lava rock fireplace to the eight foot hand-carved Tiki, and all the details in between, this place stays true to the roots of Polynesian pop. The Lucky Tiki is a true Tiki collaboration of the most creative and talented Tiki team around. You will experience an aloha paradise like no other thanks to the hard work of Crazy Al, Sven, Otto von Stroheim, Jeff Berry, Tiki Diablo, Dawna, Kevin Kidney, Lucky Burton, Don Salerno, Byron Mathis, Tiki Tony, Ron, Kelly Parra, Aron Knight, Lee Joseph and all of you from Tiki Central. Our specialty drinks will include the Lucky Tiki, M'Ehana, Chief Lapu Lapu, and our own versions of the Mai Tai and Blue Hawaii. Thanks to Tiki Farm for providing us with a temporary, limited edition Lucky Tiki mug. Crazy Al and Kevin Kidney are working on our custom mugs which will hopefully be available soon. Come join me for an enchanted evening. Festivities begin at 7:00 p.m. and end at 1:30 a.m. We are located at: 15420 Chatsworth Street, Mission Hills, California 91345 (where the 5, 405 and 118 Freeways meet).

"I wanna get lucky" may be too often stated in normal conversation, although always a good disposition. Maybe: "I'm lucky to be at the tiki" or "I'm here to get freaky and then lucky at the tiki."

M Maui_Matt Member Joined: Nov 16, 2002 Posts: 47	M Maui_Matt Posted posted on Tue, Dec 21, 2004 8:31 AM I have to say, that I have been to this fine establishment a few times already and it is really fun. I really dig the decor and the staff is friendly(the giant tiki done by Crazy Al is really awsome). They built this little "cove" towards the back of the bar that is quite fun. I can't really comment on the cocktails, as I've taken advantage of their beer selection(the horrors of not having a tiki drink in a tiki bar). I suppose my one caveat is that the jukebox, an awsome contraption, is kinda pricey at $1 per song(though we were all very cool with the massive Zappa list). Other than that, this is one heck of a cool bar down the street from me.

T Tangaroa Tiki Socialite Joined: Apr 25, 2002 Posts: 1566	T Tangaroa Posted posted on Wed, Dec 22, 2004 11:12 AM Wow. Bob - an incredible bar - just really perfect! I had a great time last night & got to meet a few TC'ers I hadn't before... I once again tried to get "arty" with the photos - but had a hard time keeping the camera still last night.... So apologies for blurry shots & anyone in the pix I don't ID - I'm still trying to remember names of all the people I met last night! The logo by Kevin Kidney is really too perfect... It was really crowded - we saw what looked like to be a few "regulars" who were trying to figure out the scene I think.... Here's Poly Pop on the left. This 8 ft. tiki by Crazy Al has to be seen in person (as do all of his tikis...) The bar has a nice collection of mugs... The puffer fish lamps are nice - but I really like the vintage "glitter" ceiling, which I assume is left from the original bar... By this point, me holding the camera steady for "arty" shots wasn't gonna happen - but here are a few TC'ers who showed up. Left is Bob, middle is Tikifille, right is Laney! Humuhumu & Futura Girl! Not seen - a beautiful Panchito maquette from Three Caballeros given to Humu from Kevin & Jodi... I had a great time! Thanks again for such a great bar so close to my house Bob!

B BarkerBird Member Joined: Jul 20, 2004 Posts: 168	B BarkerBird Posted posted on Wed, Dec 22, 2004 11:45 AM Great meeting all of you folks, Tangaroa, Humuhumu, Futura Girl, Tiki Bob et al. I think the ceiling was new. I seem to recall someone saying that. A few things to add: DJLee was spinning the tunes for an incredible cocktail of exotica and ephemera. The bar without him will have a hard time living up to the mood he set. I came away astonished at the depth of his collection of vinyl. TikiBob was an amazing host and proprietor. This was a dream come true for him, and it shows. The signature drinks were fabulous. The "Temporary Limited Edition" Lucky Tiki mugs were instant collectables, with the specially designed TWO DIFFERENT MUGS yet to come! I had a Mai Tai and a Me'Hana. Delicious. The trademark "Lucky Tiki" itself is almost finished, and will soon be installed. One must rub its belly for luck. Bob said he's thinking about a water feature around the Lucky Tiki. The Lucky Tiki T-shirts show off the amazing logo. Great that he had those available. It was a great place for a room full of Tiki-nuts. But the real fun was when a local would wander in with a look on their face like "What happened to the Wild Cherry?" Great meeting everyone! [ Edited by: BarkerBird on 2004-12-22 11:47 ]
H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Wed, Dec 22, 2004 11:50 AM Tangaroa, that lovely wahine in the middle of that picture above is none other than TikiFille, a.k.a. Dawna the kick-ass tiki carver! She created the lovely carving for Sven based on the tiki on the cover of the Book of Tiki, and the carving of the Hawaiian Eye tiki for Kevin... her latest masterpiece is going to be a tiki for the Lucky Tiki based on the logo design by Kevin Kidney. Last night was a lovely evening, but I didn't actually get around to using my camera. I did, however, use my camera last Friday at the private friends & family party at the Lucky Tiki, here's a peek at those pics: http://photo.humuhumu.com/v/luckynight/ (Some of the pics in that set are from the Good Luck Bar in Los Feliz and 101 Coffee Shop... the Lucky Tiki pictures are #s 1-21.) The Lucky Tiki is a gorgeous little bar with lots of neat details, but I have to say that both nights I was there, the place was MADE by Lee Joseph's DJ work--he was pulling out the perfect tunes at the perfect time at the perfect volume, and it really set the mood. Thanks for another lovely evening, Bobby! It's great to have such a nice tiki bar within a quick 20 minute drive! Critiki - Ooga-Mooga - Humu Kon Tiki [ Edited by: Humuhumu 2005-09-23 15:39 ]
