Truly friendly local hangout that every TC member should put on their "must drink at list". Here's hoping it gets picked up by someone with Brice and Lisa's Tiki integrity. Man the drinks are good.

Sure, we have a spare bedroom, be glad to put you up! :) Always happy to meet TC'ers on the Big Island. But if you (or anyone) is serious but unsure about how to move and/or set up a second home here in paradise, we have plenty of connections and are more than willing to help.

I just mentioned to someone today how great the cocktails were in your bar. Great hospitality, decor and drinks.... and in Kona to boot. Mahalo and let us know when you make it to the bay area. Our San Jose crew will be happy to join you at Smugglers Cove, and if you make it up to see Notch's bar-- you're welcome to check out mine as well. -scott noteboom
