Twin dragon in south Denver is a old school chinese place that does tiki drinks in new mugs. Heaven dragon in western Arvada is another option near Boulder. I love their food and atmosphere. They take great pride in their tiki drinks and their volcano has a good amount of gin which I like. I feel you would have a good time going to Bastien's on east colfax for a sugar steak. Not tiki in the slightest but is a mid-century steakhouse frozen in time. Neat building. Just a few suggestions - I moved two hours south a few years ago where the pickings are even worse. Maybe some current Denver residents will chime in. gabbahey |

1340 am..... Newish radio station ran by professor Mikey of radio 1190 Fame. But whats cool is he brought along the policy of playing local bands in the mix. And this week blasting out of the speakers was our very own Mike and Maraca 5-0. A little local surf band warmed my cold December heart. Buy Local....listen local. |

I went by O.A. today and Bob was telling me that they shipped a truckload of material to Mauka Tiki. Sounds promising. My best wishes for this to turn out right, for all the true believers in the area! |

High hopes - Realistic expectations - Support it in any event! That seems like a good attitude towards many things, but especially towards such an investment into Tiki in these times. Can't wait to see some pics once it's open. |

Hi all- If you haven't been down to Madison Street for Tiki Tuesdays, I highly recommend heading over there. http://www.madisonstreetdenver.com/specialspromos Bartender Matty is obsessed with tiki cocktail mixology and has memorized a long list of great classic tiki cocktails- I think he's pretty much got Beachbum Berry's books down. He brings in his own home made Dons Mix and other ingredients, and has created some of his own tiki concoctions that stand up to the traditional recipes. He's also going to be the head bartender at Mauka and has been testing some of the menu on those nights. If you get there 4-6pm tiki drinks are $5, but the tiki drinks flow all night. Hope to see some of you there! |

Just a heads up- this Tuesday is the last Tiki Tues Matty will be heading up. It's his last night at Madison Street before he moves over full time to the tiki bar to get our program in order. So head down there this Tuesday! Kevin Burke from Colt and Gray will also be behind the bar- and if you have been to C&G you know Kevin has some serious love for the tiki cocktails, especially historic recipes! Michelle |

Oriental theater.....Wed. February 8th......Horror flick Dawn of the dead. But it also says $3 Zombies...... I'm gonna have to check on this. A $3 Zombie has got to be a seriously bad beverage......but what the hell. Monsters and cheap drinks could make for one awesome good evening. Long walk from here but I've done worse. |

Apparently Matty Durgin has brought Tiki Tuesday back to Denver at the Coupe Bar/Ghost Plate & Tap. Of course, it was last week (3/27)! Anyone aware of this becoming a regular event for Tuesdays and Tiki (and hopefully myself)? -Lava |

I cannot tell you how happy I was to see members of my Denver Tiki family at Adrift last night loving the decor, the drinks and all smiling ear to ear. I remember how dissapoined we've all been in the past with other Denver attempts at Tiki, so it was so gratifying to hear you all complimenting the drinks and looking so comfortable and happy hanging out in Adrift. I'll be there Mon, Thurs and Fridays and possibly Wed nights too. Come in and see me! |

Saturday the 21st a few of us old cats have decided to meet up in the highlands and bicycle it across town to the lovely Adrift. Were gonna gather like vagrants in front of Amatos Breckenridge brewery Ale house around 8...... and then parade it over the best bridge ever to work our way across to Adrift. ......and then later in all our sure happiness we'll somehow find our way back across downtown. Its not planned to be a late evening as everyone seems busy Sunday but it should be a nice spring night. anyone and everyone welcome to join. -Happy Skull-ptures--- [ Edited by: Mr. Dale 2012-04-20 17:30 ] |

My friends and I 'drifted' into Adtrift last week (a few days before they officially opened). The kitchen was closed for the evening, but the drinks were fantastic. The decor is somewhat unique, with big murals instead of the mass of flotsam that usually fills every corner of a tiki bar. Unfortunately, the music coming through the speakers was awful. People on Yelp.com weren't exaggerating about that! It is a great addition to Denver, and brings Colorado's tiki total to 3 bars! Support them, and give them a chance. |

I was in Denver about the time it opened and took these pictures of Adrift: I also saw in back, two large tikis (about 20 ft tall each) and I was told that they will be erected in the front of the building some day. |

Thank you for the two links. I'll probably put in an order sooner than later! While I'd love to eventually drop a tiki-bomb in my house, I'm starting small. We just started on tiki-fying our tricycle. We'll need bamboo and matting for it and another bike in our garage. [ Edited by: TikiTie 2012-06-06 14:19 ] |

Winejester in Denver (Highlands Neighborhood) has Lemon Hart and all the other weird tiki extras. Argonaut on Colfax also has Lemon Hart. They had switched to new label last time I was in. gabbahey [ Edited by: gabbahey 2012-06-20 20:09 ] |
