Wow! I've seen a few shots of this bar, but many of these are new to me... Loads of details throughout. Like many have said- "it's never really finished"; looks like once you've tikified one area, it's on to the next! I especially like the little private booth, but everything is cool. |

Outstanding! Check your local zoning ordinances. You could probably turn that into a commercial enterprise. Its that good. |

FANTASTIC !! I hope some day to visit. But what's up with that Zebra head ?? Zebras are not indigenous to Hawaii, but there is one at the Honolulu Zoo. http://www.honoluluzoo.org/zebra.htm There, I solved that puzzle for you. :) |

Holy smokes! Not sure if I'm more jealous about how good the place turned out or how incredibly fast you work. The best tiki bars pay a lot of attention to the smallest of details and you've really knocked that one out of the ballpark. Well done. |

Photos do not do the Waikiki Womb justice. You've got to experience it first hand to really appreciate it. Plus, Murph is a great guy and he and his wife are gracious hosts. Great job Murph. |

Saw your bar for the first time on the Home tiki tour. It was a major inspiration for me to take my Tiki bar to the next level. Its stunning the amount of detail you have put into it. |

I'm so steeling your painted concrete idea! That looks fantastic. Love what you've done with the place. Being in Northern California, I'm so jealous of your climate. You've done great work, looks like a fab place to hang out (and I noticed your dogs love it too) :) |
