TV's every Tuesday and they have $5 Mai Tais?
CJ Coco Joe Member Los Angeles Joined: Sep 27, 2008 Posts: 724	CJ Coco Joe Posted posted on Tue, May 5, 2009 10:30 PM Tuesday has been deemed tiki central night with drink specials. Not sure if it's always going to be $5 Mai Tai's but there was tonight and they were GREAT! Old style, fashion, made from scratch, whatever you wanna call it..very good!

There was indeed a post indicating Tiki Central Tuesdays. And we can blame the Jab! http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=31684&forum=1&vpost=450099 Okay, it's not really the Jab's fault, he was just quoting an online article.

I got there at 7:30 ish. go figure. Jeff(bigtikidude)

Pics? You need people to show up first! Al-ii and I were the only ones in attendance...Not a good start to something so many have been clamoring about for so long now! John has given us our own night (Tiki Central Night-Thursdays)with affordable drink prices ($3 off drinks ALL NIGHT!) And $5 pupus from 4-6. I think it would be a good idea to show all that support he read about on TC over the past couple years. (Not to mention it would raise the jealousy factor up a bit for our non-SoCal tiki ohana!!! Right Rugby Matt?) :P Getting there is a breeze! Parking is the only issue! The parking under the Live LA complex will set you back $20 and NOBODY VALIDATES!!! Try to park across the street on Olympic, or in the lot across the street. I was there for Mother's day yesterday and the place was packed!!! I even heard the Tikinator was in attendance last Monday for an event there! Who's up for this Thursday (5/14)?

T thejab Grand Member (1 year) Tradewinds Apartments, Alameda, CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2992	T thejab Posted posted on Thu, May 14, 2009 3:38 PM Sorry for the confusion on the day folks. I did copy that announcement from the web site that it was Tuesday, but they removed it later, so now it's Thursday. Anyway, I was there for happy hour on Friday, and it was great! All the drinks are discounted (!) and Mai Tai's are $5. I had one SF style (w/Lemon Hart 151) and it was still only $5 (perhaps in error?). Also, certain appetizers were $5. A sweet deal.
T thejab Grand Member (1 year) Tradewinds Apartments, Alameda, CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2992	T thejab Posted posted on Thu, May 14, 2009 3:40 PM Oh yeah, I parked in the lot just north of the Figueroa Hotel on Figueroa for a $7 flat rate. There is also a $5 lot east of Trader Vic's a few blocks on Olympic (cross street Grand?).

BBT Bewitched By Tiki Member San Fernando Valley-Near the Safari Room Joined: Jan 03, 2009 Posts: 65	BBT Bewitched By Tiki Posted posted on Fri, May 15, 2009 10:44 AM I for one think the TV Tiki Time is awesome. I really think the $5 menu is a great offer and it was nice to see the bar was fairly crowded at times. We tried the Hamburger, Hot Wings and Pork Sliders. I tried two new drinks last night the Bahia (very nice... not too sweet) and the Queen's Park Swizzle (also very nice). Service was top notch just like dinner the week before. I have not seen a more well mannered and attentive staff for a long time. I wish I had been able to stay longer BTD, sorry to be a party pooper but we did manage to get there early at 5. It was nice meeting some new faces. Of course I can't remember everybody's username but thanks for taking the time to sit and chat with us. Thanks TikiG for accompanying me for the evening! Until next time.

I got there after 9pm after photographing an event at the Biltmore. I was dressed in my black suit and must have looked like I had just come from a funeral. Must have looked odd. I had Phil Grog's in a Gun Club mug,excellently made by Franki the mixologist. There were a dozen or so TC folk there the last couple of hours. Wonder how many afternoon and evening? I was jazzed when I saw my bill. Nice to see Tiki Central getting kudos and to see it printed with a nice discount. Thanks John!
