Not old school tiki, or Polypop, but a fairly swanky joint,
and I have seen many many surf shows, and Blue Hawiians performances there.
Very sad to hear its goin down the tubes :(

Dear Lava Loungers,
Would like to thank you for 13 lovely years. We're hoping you'll share one last potent tropical cocktail with us before we close our rather singed door at the end of February.

For you Blue Hawaiians fans, they will be performing a final show on Feb 24th.

Over the next two months we will be having many of our all time favorite bands back, so please come visit us and say "aloha".
You will be amongst the privileged few to hear the very latest on all news regarding the new lounge, and be invited down for an advanced preview. Very exciting indeed!

bunch of non surf dates listed------------------------ then one good one:
1/17 the Austin James Band , & The Creepy Creeps

Mahalo so very much! We loved having you. Just time to reinvent...and return to my original vision for this tiny little space, a sharp lounge!

Wow Jeff,

That stinks! I really like the Lava Lounge and I’ll be sad to see it go. I’m going to go as often as I can before it’s over and hopefully I’ll see you there on February 24th.

That sucks, I am moving from Detroit to Hollywood in Feb. I hope I have a chance to see it at least once before it's gone.

Lava Lounge would be Pele's favorite tiki bar.

It might also be mine, if I could better tolerate the music.

Thats why I only go when surf bands or the Blue Hawiians are playing, as for drinks, not to swell either, in past few years if I was going there. Had to make a stop at Tiki Ti before hand to get in the mood. Then just a beer or 2 there while watching the bands.
