Default Anybody remember the "safari grill"?

The Safari Grill? Yeah! It was this amazing dockside topless bar back
in the 70's. 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"
