Thanks again for your hospitality, Adrian. I am still super impressed with the Desert Oasis Room. It might have been all of the cocktails, but at one point, I totally felt like I was in a real bar somewhere and not just in a regular sized room in a house in the suburbs.
The place is AMAZING.

And I thought that I had a respectable mug collection... Adrian's rivals the best of collections, IMO. AND he has something like nine other storage bins with stuff that he didn't have room for! Insane.

Here are some pics of his place.

All of the mugs were meticulously organized by designer, color, or some other theme.

This is the Shag section (sorry about the quality of my old iPhone)...

Some pics that I posted on Instagram. Follow us for lots of tiki/ hotrod/ surf photos @thehulagirls

Thanks for the good time, Adrian!

Such a great looking place. Thanks for the inspiration.

I am speaking with Mrs Chippy about making our own Tiki lounge.

I'd like to send a huge MAHALO to the Zen Tiki Lounge for stopping by the Desert Oasis Room to record their latest podcast. FUN FUN FUN!

You can listen to the podcast here:

Very cool! Where is that skull in the lower right-hand corner from?

P
PolynesianPop posted on 01/19/2013

That's a Trader Pang's skull. Trader Pang's was the house brand of mugs that Hilo Hattie carried. I have that mug in both white and brown (both crazed, which makes them look more vintage than they actually are). As far as I know, all Hilo Hattie stores have closed their doors outside of their Hawaii locations so I'm glad I got them when they were around. I don't know if they still have or sell these but considering it was almost 10 years ago that I bought them I seriously doubt they'll still have them.

Wow, just starting my own Tiki lounge. Of course I am at 7500+ feet elevation, so right now my lounge is 13 degrees. A little less then tropical. I have a long way to go, but your pics are very inspiring. I need to think of a good high elevation flagstaff AZ Tiki Lounge. Any thoughts?

Great stuff!

By the way, what is the mug on the far right in this picture? It gives off a Hunter Thompson as Lono vibe.

I just caught up with this post today and all I can say is . See I can't say anything because I'm lost for words.

You look like you have far too many tiki mugs there, better send me some immediately.

Well done sir!

I got a sneak peek of Adrian's upcoming addition when I was down a couple weekends ago. It's going to be cool for sure. Adrian has a amazing collection and I always look forward to staying down there when I can. :D
