Is everyone else finding the lines to be about the size of a golf ball everywhere? These don’t even look like they would have a 1/2 oz of juice in them. Is there something going on with the crops this year like drought or something else affecting them?

I have a home bar and am wondering if anyone has some suggestions on how to make it more tiki-like.

We finally made it to Sunken Harbour Club before leaving NYC . Arrived around opening time and ended up waiting an hour and 45 minutes to get inside(wandered around the neighbourhood and did other stuff till they texted). I had a rum barrel, a donkey conga, and a mai tai. My wife had a noble pursuit and 2 star cycles(she really liked that one). All our drinks were great. The theming and music were also well very done. And we stayed and drank till they kicked us out. It's definitely got a more traditional tiki bar feel than Paradise Lost( I'd still be hard pressed to pick a favourite as both were so well executed for different reasons)

Couple stoned glances.

Hello everyone, I just found this at an antique store today for insanely cheap but as you can see someone had painted it previously and didn’t really take care of it. I’m looking for advice on how to restore it properly. I sent an email to pleasant tiki for advice but I thought I would come on here and see if anyone had any ideas. I did see from a YouTube video that she recommends Howard feed and wax but I’m curious about removing the paint without ruining the iconic wood grain. Thank you

It's an amazing grapefruit and lime bomb on the front that trails into a maraschino and lemon after-taste. I saw the bartender cut the rum with vodka though which seems a little odd but still great

Pic from the home bar

anyone know how to make a reservation at Lee's Hawaiian Islander in Lyndhurst, NJ? or if they’re even still open? Can’t get an answer on the phone

1oz OFTD

1oz Coruba

1oz Hamilton 86

0.5oz Lime

1oz Creme of Coconut

2oz Pineapple Juice

3oz POG Juice

Flash blend or shake and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg, mint, and an orange wheel. I zhuzhed it up with pineapple fronds, candied orange, cherries, and fresh pineapple

Anyone ever been here? Looks questionable as I look at the menu. I wonder how strict they are about their "only drinks on the menu" rule. My buddy and I are going to check it out on Thursday. I'm setting the bar low but wondering if anyone here has checked it out.

I will be visiting NOLA for a Raiders game in late September. This is my 4th time going, and I’ve done all the usual tourist stuff, and I don’t need to visit Bourbon Street again. Thanks in advance everybody! Take care.

What would you make?

Assume there's a well enough stocked bar other than these bottles

How a Hollywood bootlegger invented tiki culture (and basically became the “Walt Disney of rum”) — LA Times profile of the doc “The Donn of Tiki,” on Donn Beach and how his tiki bar spawned an entire movement.

Updated with Doc Parks in attendance moderating the chat with Justin. Gonna be a great time with Justin making 4 cocktails from his book. All unlimited with music by DJ hi tone and a roast pig!

I'm not sure if this will work for everyone as it seems to be a targeted email, and you have to "Request Access" with your email, but it's worth a try if you want the bottle. Keep in mind that Astor has high shipping costs.

I'm heading to Undertow in Gilbert in a few weeks. Can anyone recommend a good place to eat before I down some drinks? Ideally it would be nearby the bar so I can just slip right over.

Thanks!

As the title said, what movie props are in your bar? Any love for Indy, Pirates, Goonies, Gilligan's Island, Creech stuff? And if so let me see! I always love some inspiration.

They don't say which collections, so you may have to use trial-and-error. Looks like the sale ends on the 7th.

Hey everyone, as the title suggests I’m doing a southwestish tiki tour this upcoming week. I have it all mapped out but was curious if anyone has any recommendations of any tiki-adjacent bars in OKC, I don’t see any full on tiki bars. I’m deciding whether to stop there after Saturn Room in Tulsa or not. Thanks for any suggestions!

For the spirit forward tiki heads, check out the Golden Monkey.

GOLDEN Monkey (from Hula Hula Room)

.5oz Planteray Xaymaca

.5oz Kokomo Tahitian Vanilla

.5oz Kokomo Barrel Aged

.5oz Creme de Banane (Tempus Fugit)

Bar spoon Dem or simple

2dsh Chocolate Bitters

3dsh Black Walnut Bitters

Stir and serve with dehydrated bananas. If you can't find Kokomo you can do 1.5oz Xaymaca.

Cheers! 🥃
