Knowing Judd's delicious wines I would want to try that. A new rum must be tested! Martin's mixology is always something to savor. How will I feel if I partake in all four in one evening? :D

Walking distance, I don't know about that neighborhood though (?). Addendum: Not the Smuggler's Cove neighborhood, I've been there it's nice, I was speaking of the Phoenix's neighborhood.

MT Mai Tai Tiki Socialite Exotic Isle of Alameda Joined: Mar 21, 2004 Posts: 1438	MT Mai Tai Posted posted on Fri, Oct 23, 2009 9:40 PM It's less than 7 blocks from Smuggler's Cove to the Phoenix Hotel. Here's a walking map. We've walked it from Trader Vic's back to the Phoenix, in past tiki crawls, when Trader Vic's was still open on Golden Gate, and the Phoenix was our anchor hotel. It's pretty much the same route. Although the Tenderloin can be sketchy, it's not quite as bad as it used to be. We felt fairly safe in a larger size walking group that late at night. And for those that are really concerned about it, cabs should be plentiful in that area. Woody, late night pool party shenanigans at the Phoenix sound like a plan! Cannonball!

It says: Monday, November 9, 2009, by Paolo TIki Tracking Martin Cate has announced an opening date for Smuggler's Cove: the tiki mecca-to-be is currently slated to make its flashy debut in the old Jade Bar in precisely 30 days on December 8. For background reading on the "greatest tiki bar on earth" (still the best quote ever), kindly do consult the full Smuggler's Cove coverage in the Eater Archives. [EaterWire]
J JOHN-O Tiki Socialite Dogtown, USA Joined: May 16, 2008 Posts: 2721	J JOHN-O Posted posted on Tue, Nov 10, 2009 5:22 PM Hmmm... I have no doubt SC is going to be a great place serving great drinks but do we really want it to be considered a "Tiki Bar" ?? So much effort has gone into acknowledging classic Tiki-style that this might be a move in the wrong direction (on the part of lazy or ignorant journalists). I like the term "Exotica Rum Bar". :) That's probably more appropriate for a concept which is more ambitious that just Tiki. My 2-cents. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2009-11-10 17:42 ]
