Description:
Mostly a wine bar (featuring New Zealand & Australian wines), but they have a fully stocked bar & they DO serve kava kava tea & something called a kava kava cocktail (my recommendation).

The walls are adorned w/ excellent 'South Seas' murals & "tribal art" & great antique prints of Maori & Polynesian life.

There's one big giant creepy-looking (especially after a kava kava cocktail!) tiki-esque thing on the back wall.

I hope to go back soon w/ my camera.
