Fake leopard skin everything, cheesy "grass hut" decor, and multi-colored 25-watt lightbulbs jammed into the ends of phony tiki torches. 25-cent schooners and pitchers for a buck apiece. You could see through the beer, but the "dancers" actually looked a lot like very authentic safari-land women (those safari-land women over 50, anyway) straight out of the pages of National Geographic. Bartender wore khaki shirts and shorts, as well as a greasy pith helmet- and it was rumored that he originated the slogan "Same shirt, different day." More smoke in the air than a four-alarm fire in a cigar store, and the pool table sloped almost as much as the pinball machine. Is that the place you have in mind? :-) They just don't have a lot of class joints like that anymore. Too bad. John Hiatt said it best in song: "Thank God the Tiki Bar is open, thank God the Tiki Torch still shines Thank God the Tiki Bar is open, come on in and loosen up your mind" |
