I love me some Hut Buttered Rum!

yeah me too.
The Hot Buttered Rum at Tiki Ti and Taix are good,
but the new one at Don's blows them away.

so much darker and richer.
I think I remember Marie saying that she made the Butter batter from scratch.

Kudos Marie,
you knocked it outta the park on that one.

I was there tonight and it was good. I really wanted to try the Rum Barrel but a 4.5 shot drink is probably too stiff for the long drive back to Samo. The last time I had both a Zombie and a Navy Grog and that was definitely too much.

Marie showed me the new DTBC coconut-style mug they'll be introducing. She's not sure what new concoction it will hold. Probably something coconuty.

I still need to try the Missionary's Downfall and Dr. Funk. Anyone had these and care to comment?

dude they are all good drinks

wanted to go tonight,
but as Atomic Kitty Posted in another thread about another event/bar,
the Bank account says no dice.
:(
will be there Sat. for Glasgow Tiki Shakers

Jeff(btd)

I was there representing. In by 5:30pm, out by 7:00pm. Here's my drink review:

1. Missionary's Downfall - I usually don't drink this but I wanted to check it off my list. This is probably one of the better MD's I've had. This is a good drink for people who don't like to drink. It's a like a rum slushie. Highly recommended to get that "special someone" tea totaller drunk.

2. Dr. Funk - This rum-based drink is very different from the Tiki-Ti gin-based drink. It has more of sour taste than a dry licorice taste. I really really enjoyed this. It goes to the top of my list along with the DTBC Navy Grog and Zombie.

Also thumbs up on the pupus. Happy Hour (50% off) here is Tiki Nirvana. It's a fantastic deal (don't forget to tip 40%).

I kept wanting to order the teriyaki. Oh wait, that sign says Tikiyaki. :)

Marie (and Mike) nail it again !

Man, I feel like I should make my own thread called "Thursday Nights at Don The Beachcomber"! I'll be there tonight, and I plan on having a splendid time, as always.

Go Ahead. Support your local Tiki Bar any way you can. !

We've got family in town from Australia - I'm lobbying really hard for a trip to Don's tonight as well.

I'm most likely swinging by Saturday afternoon

It would be cool if you guys could come this Fri. or Sat.
JonPaul is playing with 3 Balls of Fire on fri.

Joe hang till later. I'll prob be there around 6 or 7.

I really need to start going on Mondays again.
its just hard, when I blow all my money on the weekend.
:(

Jeff(btd)

I'll be braving the typhoon and driving down tonight... buy me a drink!

Have fun, Sorry.
I've got a headache from hell today,
and I was there on Fri. and Sat.

Jeff(btd)

Had a blast. Soccer Tiki and Sabu the Coconut Boy kept me company. I regaled a guy with stories of tiki wonder, who ended up buying a mug and bought me a drink as thanks. Good to know all this knowledge can be bartered for rum. :wink:

All I have to say is the sticky ribs are AMAZING!

Is anyone drinking tonight?

If so JOHN-O will be at the bar around 5:30pm ready to philosophize Witco's place in both classic Tiki-style and African Pop Primitism. (And why Elvis called it the Jungle Room and not the Tiki Room :)).

Tonight I will try the Rum Barrel.

I will be there tonight. Probably around 7pm, staying until my life is happy and fulfilling.

Had the rum barrell friday night..Very good!!

I'll be there about 6.

Jeff(btd)

Sabu and Soccer tiki said they will be there too.

Jeff(btd)

Jeff(btd)

I know things are hectic for the holidays.

Jeff(btd)

Rats !! I really wanted to try the "...-" this time.

Family plans came up for me too, and I am staying home now.

plus I was there on Fri. and Sat. again this past weekend.
I really wish more of you could come on sat. also,
when the bands are there.

If anybody goes tonight.

Jeff(btd)

Yea I've been up a bunch of times in the past few weeks...I'm trying to hold back till after Christmas. BTW JOHN-O, the Three Dots and a Dash is Great. One of my favorite drinks there. I end up getting one almost every time I go.

I haven't been able to go for a few weeks now...was trying to get out last night, but it didn't happen...

Marie & Mike - Merry Christmas and see you two in the New Year!

I need a drink.

Jeff(btd)

[ Edited by: bigtikidude 2009-12-23 20:27 ]

We ended up going last night...I think the Rum Barrel is my new favorite drink. Good to know it was busy there two nights in a row.

Definitely going to try to make it next Monday since there's no Boy Scouts (thank God!)

[ Edited by: Jason Wickedly 2009-12-23 08:16 ]

I'll be in HB today so I'll try to drop by between 5:30 and 6:00pm. This will be my last DTBC cocktail(s) for 2009.

Who's behind the bar on Weds?

John,
have a good time, if I had seen this yesterday I would have tried to go back down after work.

Jason, see you there on monday.
and NYE right?

Man I need to ask Art if I can just put a bed in the basement at Dons.
ha ha ha

Jeff(btd)

anybody head ing down to Don's tonight or this weekend?

I don't know if they have any bands, but I was thinking of swinging by Sat. night.

will be there for sure on Monday Dec. 28th.
prob around 5 or 6pm.

Jeff(btd)

No Don's NYE for me...we've got our own annual party we're throwing. Anyone not going to the Tikiyaki event that wants to party basically for free on New Years Eve, drop me a PM and I'll forward you the Evite. Last year we had about 100 people, and this year seems like it's going to be bigger.

Jeff...if you get a bed at Don's, don't forget you have to share with the ghosts!

So who is in for tonight?

I'll be there around 6 pm.
Soccer said he'll be there too.

come and help get over the Holiday Hangover,
or, get revved up for the NYE show.

Jeff(btd)

I'll be at Don's along with Al-ii. A little birdie told me that Hinano Paul and the Mrs might be along as well.

BooooHoooooo! I'm home sick tonight :) I hope everyone has a WooHoo Time :)

I was thinking it would be good to wind up my 11 day Vacation off work at Dons.
but I kinda over did it on the Holidays.
money and booze wise. so I need to skip this mon.

if anybody goes, have a good time,

Jeff(btd)

Went up last night and was pleasantly surprised to see three new drinks on the menu. The Nui Nui, Scorpion, and The Jungle Jetsetter. I tried them all and as always, they were great. The Nui Nui has got a nice cinnamon simple syrup bite to it, the Jungle Jetsetter is coconut rum with lime and other juices, and it goes down REALLLY easily, and my favorite, the Scorpion is, well a Scorpion, which has that great citrus zing, and that extra something with the brandy as well as rum being mixed. It was good to see the bar packed last night too, it shows that all the hard work that Art, Marie, and all the staff have been putting in has paid off. Damn, I want to go right now...

Cuss, fuss, and boogie all night long!

Jeff(btd)

There was a band last night. Monkeys with Fire. Never seen them before but they were great. Covers of everything from Louis Armstrong to Van Halen to Johnny Cash to Iron Maiden in a Sabbath meets Panteta style. Think Nutty goes punk.

wow, crazy, wish I could have seen that.

Jeff(btd)

I'll probably show up around 5:30pm (1/11).

I didn't see a band when I was there on Thursday, but District (the local LB arts/entertainment rag) was having some kind of publicized event. Definitely brought a different crowd of people in than you normally see. It's definitely cool to see Don's being embraced by the locals again.

I'll be there around 5 pm tonight

Rumor has it Tiki King is in town for NAMM and will be teaming up with Fezmonger, beloved overlord at Fez-O-Rama, for a fez-up at Don's Saturday night. I'll be there rocking the fez. Come join us and have a Navy Grog as we listen to the Glasgow Tiki Shakers.
