Wang's mug

This mug is now available at Wang's in North Park (San Diego). I'm told it was made by Tiki Farm, although I don't know who the artist was.

Looks cool in a riff off the old Fu Manchu style mug.

The mug was designed by Derek Yaniger.

500 were made for San Diego and 500 for Palm Springs. After they are all sold, a new design will be made. I'll post pics on my ooga mooga page soon...

I saw that mug on FB yesterday and am quite enamored of it. I can ONLY hope there are some left when I head down to Tiki Oasis. Definitely going to head to Wang's to eat, drink and snag one of those beauties!!! Thanks for posting Arriano.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for all the pix Kiwi. It is making me weak in my knees.

We went two weeks ago for dinner. There's nothing on the menu about the mugs, and the waiter didn't mention them. But since we knew about them we asked for and got two. Pretty cool. We had the Tiki Style cocktail in both.

We, Miss Hell and I, got turned onto this mug the other day by a friend and will be getting some soon.

I was tending bar at Wangs in Palm Springs back in 2008 when I was setting up Tiki Caliente 1.
Holden and Joel from Wangs were in talks back then about the mug. Glad it finally came to be.

It looks great

Joel said their original design kept blowing up in the kiln, so they had to start over again from scratch...

So happy...I just snagged one off eBay.

Snagged the last two (according to the barkeep) during this evenings happy hour.Another bartender told me that another shipment was due any day. This was at the Palm Springs location. Food was good, drinks were simple (as opposed to the complex flavors/scents in a well crafted Mai Tai) but strong,and the tipsy factor is zero.
Cheers

TWO? ONLY TWO? Don't you come home without one for me brotherman.

C'mon you two, sort it out. :D

I was down in San Diego last weekend with my boys for a beach volleyball tournament in Ocean Beach and managed to sneak off with Mrs. Cajun for a stop at Wang's for Good Fortune Hour.

I am happy to report that they still have the new mugs.

The happy our food was good and the Tiki Style drink that comes with the mug was surprisingly good.

$4 for the mug with the Tiki Style drink.

$8 with anything else.

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!
Went there tonight(PS location)to get one and they told me that they had them but were not selling them until their Fall promotion.....

Scott is a cool cat and a great bartender. I miss working with him and may see him this weekend well I am in San Diego.

There's still some at the San Diego location, at least as of 5 days ago...

Paid the evil bay price but happy happy happy to have mine, it is a gorgeous mug. Love the florescent green with the black and the great design. Too many plot complications on my San Diego trip so glad I ordered, as I may not have made it to the restaurant anyway.

Vamp,

Wangs is close to everything in San Diego. 6 miles, 9 minutes from Tiki Oasis. Take a quick break from Oasis and go get a couple more during happy hour. The price is right!.

I made the 13 minute trek from Pacific Beach last time I was in San Diego and it was well worth it.

Thanks DC...next time I am in San Diego I will try to get there. My 93 year old Mother just sold her home in Lakeside and we are all packed to drive back to Sacramento. She is staying a few days with friends so I can go to Oasis. However she can hardly walk today, has something wrong with her leg so I have been in ER with her all day...not sure if she will get out tonight. A Chinese dinner would be good about now along with a Singapore Sling...LOL. I can only hope all the bottles of booze did not break in the back of the car parked out in the heat.

Looking forward to some cocktails soon :drink:

Glad you got your Wang mug VampiressRN. And thanks for taking care of Mariner and I with a VampTiki Lounge glass. They are the perfect size for Luau Lili's FAMOUS mai tai! Now we have to rent the Golden Monkey movie because of you! It was nice to see you at TO.

Received an email from Wang's the other day announcing they now have Tiki Tuesdays: $5 tropical drinks all night (Mai-Tais, Hurricanes, Scorpions, Planters Punch) and specially priced Pu Pu Platters and appetizers. This is especially interesting as Bar Pink is only about three blocks away and it also has Tiki Tuesdays. So now you can celebrated Tiki Tuesdays at two non-tiki bars.

Much cheaper than can be had online. If anyone goes by there, pick me up a pair. I'll get monies to you. Wish I could stop by myself.

You can order the mug online through Wang's website. $10 plus shipping. A few different restaurants and bars offer that service.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? WOOHOo! What other places offer their mug at a reasonable price that otherwise is overpriced on ebay?

Yeah, I was going to offer to get you a pair, but it would just be easier to order them straight from Wang's. When you order, I would be sure to memo them that you want to make sure that they have no chips. I have seen like 3 now that have been a bit dinged up. FYI...

Hahaha. MUCH obliged. Love the Ohana.

And yeah, occasionally I forget, but I always check for chips. It took like, 8 mugs to get one right when I just picked up the new made in china Tchoup Chop mug.

If they're available from the establishment, I add that info in the price sightings on http://www.ooga-mooga.com.
