The embossed "Hawaii Kai" on the front and "New York City" on the back realy sets it off. Mugs that are made exclusively for a restaraunt / bar are always cool. I don't think this style was done (in this color) for anyone else (though I may be wrong). I saw this one on ebay and was interested to see how much it would go for. I don't see this one very often. I'm glad to see a fellow TCer got it. Whatever you do, don't have buyers remorse! As I've always said, if you think it's worth the $$ you paid and it makes you happy, you didn't get ripped off. The price seems reasonable since the days of the $2 tiki mug have passed us by. Tiki Mugs, Vintage, Tiki Bars, Carved Tiki Poles, Apparel and more!

I'm no expert but I'd say that's a good price. -FB
