IT'S SUMMERTIME AT DON THE BEACHCOMBER
AND WE'RE INTRODUCING NINE ORIGINAL
COCKTAILS FROM DONN BEACH!
Staying true to the original Don the Beachcomber restaurant conceptualized in the 1930s by Donn Beach, the founding father of tiki, Arthur and Delia Snyder are introducing nine more of his original cocktails to the menu, which already features many of his classics!

TONIGHT!!
Don’s Hurricane – Donn, like the Hurricane, was from New Orleans, and was well acquainted with this famous drink from his youth; but by changing the proportions to emphasize the rums he knew so well, he gave it a new taste that you will enjoy, complete with bright grapefruit and pineapple juices, and select cordials).
$12 (limit 2 per guest)

Monday, August 22nd
151 Swizzle – this is a very straightforward drink that’s easy on the tongue. Fine 151-proof Demerara rum is complemented by fresh lime juice and a typical Donn tweak. $10 (limit 2 per guest)

In the upcoming weeks we will be introducing a new Don's drink to our Bar Menu
Every Monday, during Happy Hour from 4 pm to close!

You're invited to try a 2-ounce complimentary test of the New Drink of the Day,
and only purchase a full-size drink if you like it.
(An extra bonus since we know you will like it anyway!)

Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz!
What is this? Here's the short version:

  • Geeks Who Drink is a homegrown Pub Quiz modeled after those in Ireland and the UK.
  • Quizzes cover everything from celebrities in trouble to wordplay to bad television.
  • Each quiz has two audio rounds: a "Name that Tune” style round, and another round comprised of soundbites from movies and TV.
  • Play in teams of up to six or by yourself if you're some kind of savant.
  • If you want to play but don’t have a team, come anyway. We can usually get single players recruited onto an existing team.
  • Winning teams gets street cred, bar cash and other prizes depending on the venue. Bonus Questions for free pints are sprinkled throughout the quiz.
  • You don’t have to be a trivia God to enjoy the quiz. Since you’re playing on a team, the collective knowledge base makes for more fun, less pressure. It’s not final Jeopardy!
    8-10 p.m. in the Longboard Room - More Info: HERE!

WILLIE K!
Willie K (William Kahaialii) returns to Southern California joined by his special band! Willie K is not only a winner of multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards, but to quote Honolulu Weekly, "He's an amazing guitar virtuoso, a Hawaiian Jimi Hendrix; he's Gabby Pahinui, Andres Segovia and Eddie Van Halen rolled into one. Willie can mimic seemingly any style, moving easily between screaming Stratocaster, sweet slack key and jazzy almost baroque, acoustic 12-string." **Also a special performance by the Kalama Brothers, Ryan Kalama and Kai Kalama. If we're lucky, they may even have their band with them that night!
