Tiki Bar Review: False Idol

2148
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...

Tiki Bar Review: Honi Honi

1837
Honi Honi. How do I love thee. (Sorry, Spoiler Alert) A tiki oasis amidst the bustle of Hong Kong. It was when I was just starting to gain my appreciation of the tiki drink that I came across this place. I was assigned to a project in Hong Kong a few years ago and thanks to the Interwebs - found out Honi Honi. If you...

Tiki Bar Review: Trader Vic’s – Tokyo

2083
Deeply nestled in the labyrinthine interiors of the New Otani Hotel and what I assume is an office building near the Nagatacho station in Tokyo is the tiki oasis of Trader Vic's. I only discovered this restaurant/bar a scant year ago when I was newly into my tiki adventure, maybe for the best, for had I happened upon this earlier I'm sure I would have...

Tiki Drink Focus: Three Dots and a Dash

1739
This has to be just about my favorite tiki drink. There are a lot of flavors here that come together to make a really fantastic tasting beverage. Created by Don the Beachcomber after WWII, Three Dots and a Dash (in Morse Code this is a 'V' which would be in reference to 'Victory' in this case) is a wonderful blend of Martinique and the always flavorful...

Tiki Bar Review: The Golden Tiki

2104
I was excited that another tiki bar had opened up in Vegas a year ago and was sure I'd be there soon enough - turns out I didn't go out to Vegas at all this year except for the yearly trip I take to attend an industry conference. I made my way to Chinatown (off-strip goooood) to the unassuming entry way into The Golden Tiki....

Tiki Drink Focus: Bounty Hunter

1439
I received a set of Star Wars themed Tiki Glasses and a challenge to create drinks for each of them. The first one was a no brainer, the Bounty Hunter. This had to be a pretty powerful and deadly beverage, but as with my favorite drinks, I wanted it to have a mix of good flavors in there. This shouldn't be a simple concoction, because helloooo,...

Time to start logging all the great tiki places I've been to, want to go to, and the beverages they make there (including ones I've made myself). I'm going to start by adding two types of posts - Tiki Bar Review (duh) and Drink Focus. The latter is where I will break down beverages that I have made for myself and I'll share the recipe...

Tiki Bar Review: Don The Beachcomber

1613
UPDATE 4/2018 - Don's closed its doors in April 2018. Their instagram feed promises that they are searching for a new location after they were pushed out by high rent from a developer looking to build condos. One of the first Tiki Bars I went to and certainly one of the best if not the biggest, Don The Beachcomber in Sunset Beach is named after...
