"For sure, this longtime watering hole is far more Mr. Bing's than Smuggler's Cove. I'm sure it was once a legitimate tiki bar, but I'm guessing it's seen better days. When Jamie W. and I dropped by, there was a rustic tiki statue and a tropical cocktail menu, but the rest of the decor was more vintage....an Elvis photo, a provocative boudoir blow up, glossies of who knows who. It felt kinda dark and empty on a Sunday afternoon, but the bartender was attentive when we ordered a couple of $12 tiki cocktails. Jamie went for the Pina Colada, which was already pre mixed with rum, coconut milk, and pineapple juice. I ordered the Hawaiian Volcano which blended vodka, Southern Comfort, orange, and pineapple juice (photo: [hidden link] . Both drinks were serviceably tiki, though they were missing the fruity accoutrements we had come to expect. I think it was all part of the laissez faire approach they take here with the faux leather couch, the pool table, and the pointless rock wall covered by a jukebox that I'm not sure works. But who cares if it's shabby? There's a tiki heart in here somewhere. DRINKS 3 stars...not the best but I like the who cares approach AMBIANCE 3.5 stars...not really tiki, more like garage sale SERVICE 3.5 stars...kinda respect the been there, done that attitude TOTAL 3 stars...not sure if it's Hawai'i West...more like Hawai'i U Turn RELATED Exploring North Beach?
