Ok,
The official:
"WAIKIKI WOMB ROAD TRIPS TO LA DESCARGA'S TIKI NIGHT"
are on Tuesday nights at 8pm

Steve, of La Descarga, has graciously invited all of us at the Womb to join him at his bar on Tuesdays for TIki Tuesday Nights.
If you have not been to La Descarga before you are in for a real treat... one word "armoire"

PS. if you get the munchies next door is one of the best "hole in the wall" taco joints in LA.

See you all Tuesday. Wear your tiki best.

Tuesday July 17th we usher in the start of Tiki Tuesdays at La Descarga. New head bartender Joe Swifka will have an exciting menu of classic and modern Tiki cocktails with all the Tiki bells and whistles. There will be live Polynesian inspired music and dance performances too. No reservations necessary - 8pm to close.

Thanks for the pix, John-O! Always wanted to try a Big Bamboo...I must still be jet-lagged: I always was thinking about NEXT Tuesday

Sounds great!
How's the parking around that joint? Carpooling sounds like a good idea.

Street parking can be difficult the later you show up.

Also here's an idea of mine. Wouldn't it be cool if afterward we took a short walk over to the nearby Tiki Theater...

And took a picture of us all lined up in full Aloha wear waiting to get in. :)

Pay for valet it is $8, especially if you have ladies in heels with you or don't fancy drining in circles.

Though according to the Tiki Theater picture, there is parking in their rear. Unless that means something that I just shouldn't get into here.

That video is hilarious! "...served over crushed lava rocks" - those guys had fun!

Wonder if "Dude, you've been watching way to much Boardwalk Empire" is a play on the fact that Dr.Cocktail/Ted Haigh is the graphic designer for that show :)

Thank you Murph for posting and getting the ball rolling and thank you La Descarga!

I was blown away. Great place, great drinks. I can't believe I hadn't been there before, but I know I'm going back...especially after seeing the widely-varied rum bottles lining the back of the bar.

Thanks to La Descarga, and thanks to Murph for setting it up.

Black Magic Woman, especially when they add the smokey. If they forget to add it, not as special, but still a tasty drink. We'll be back!

Yes John, I was able to escape from Mrs Chippy and the Chipletes and hang with some really great peeps.

I cannot remember having so much fun in quite a while. It was a great nite. Thank you to all who made it happen.

I hope I can steal away again real soon.

Cheers to you all.
