Tiki Drink Focus: Queens Park Swizzle

4511
The Queens Park Swizzle has become my favorite. For a long time it was the Three Dots and a Dash, but the frosty swizzle has over taken it. Concocted in the 1920's at the Queens Park Hotel in Trinidad, Angostura, has been lobbying to make the Queens Park Swizzle the official drink of Trinidad & Tobago. Angostura is famous for their namesake bitters and from what...

Tiki Bar Review: Hula’s Island Grill

Hula's Island Grill is a small chain of two restaurants around the Monterey Bay in California. While I had actually been to the location in Monterey, I recently went to both locations.

Cleveland. These days I think it has an unfounded bad rap. Living in California my whole life I never had any positive connection about the city beyond the Drew Carey Show. Well after visting for a week on a gig, I found many things to like about the city. Most of all the Porco Lounge and Tiki Room. Brick House It's pretty much standard procedure...

Tiki Bar Review: False Idol

Wow. No really. Wow! For most of spring and into summer last year I was anxiously awaiting any news of Martin Cate's new outpost. Cate is responsible for Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco. After visiting Smuggler's, I had high HIGH expectations for False Idol. As the first word of this post said, yeah. Reservations I can't speak to weeknights, but if you are going to visit...
