Unfortunately the Client is quite indesisive and although we had the name "Shangri- La" chosen he has changed his mind to " The Archway island" Lynne McTiki you are still the winner though. Tikis are still to be added, now on to the next one. [ Edited by: cheekytiki 2008-06-01 09:59 ]

Archway Island just doesn't do this place justice, it should be something more evocative, seductive. The walls seem a little...barren, somehow. :D

Just add flotsam and jetsam, and of course tikis, and you've got one spectacular space. Poly pop tiki may have started in the States, but nobody is doing it better than CheekyTiki these days. It really thrills me to see this. I so want to visit their places SOON! PS - On the name, I agree. Archway Island just doesn't cut it. Many of the suggestions in that thread were superior.

Massive transformation. Looking forward to meeting up with the britiki crowd for a drink or two soon. Keep us posted on opening date.

Apparently, the Archway Island tiki bar is still there but is only open for private events...
