Tiki lounge has a nice barkeep and that’s the best I can say about this place. No food, no crafted drinks, even the rum and coke my wife had was terrible. No beer on tap- I had a Heineken. Building is an interesting true A-frame but I would rate the interior tiki factor as “light”. Too bad cuz the recently deceased owner had a real passion for tiki according to the barkeep. Barkeep also said that the son wants to redo the place with more emphasis on tiki. We’ll see, meanwhile why go here when Minnies is less than a mile down the road. |

Mahalo for the quick reply Dusty. That tread is from 2003 and the place is just a shell of it’s former self. Hopefully 2015 will herald a rebirth of the Tiki Lounge. [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2015-01-21 21:40 ] |

Do you mean there's no Tiki decor whatsoever inside? There sure wasn't much to begin with, when I found it in the 90s. I was still thrilled to discover the place. Looking at Google Street View, it seems the "TIKI" name is still spelled out in bamboo on the front: …like it was in the original: The above Tiki pole is also still there - though wedged in by the front patio fence. It seems to have survived because it functions as support to hold up the entrance door awning: The "Tiki Cocktails" sign can is still original, and I get a kick out of seeing the Hanalei Tiki from the BOT used on the new signs: I hope N.N. you are not joining the growing number of folks who feel entitled to find craft cocktails in every place that calls itself Tiki. Where is your sense of urban archeology, of getting excited abut ANY original remnants still in situ? |
