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)

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?

What would you make?

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

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

Couple stoned glances.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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'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.
