Thank you so much for this, especially enjoyed the last few minutes with you playing and the tour of Don's. I was there in 2011. I flew out to LA from PA, for my daughter's orientation at USC. I insisted we go there for dinner and the experience. I asked the waiter if the owner was there. Art came out and sat with us for an hour. He brought us dessert. After dessert he gave us a personal tour around the entire restaurant, and even gave me a few souveniers, including an apron. He was so kind. My 17 year old was amazed how nice he was to us, who were strangers. I told her we were not strangers. In the world of tiki, we were ohana. Aloha Art, Sam's Seafood, and Don the Beachcomers. So happy I went there.
Pia Colucci that's so nice. Art was such a great guy. A consummate host.
Thank you Spike for that tribute to Don’s. That place will always have a special place in my heart as we had our wedding reception there.
Waxing Max Nostalgic There Matt. How Much Did We Love That Place? Nice footage of you two playing the swan song...
When It Became Don's They Took Out The Two Original Tropical Pay Phone Half Shell Booths from Waikiki In The West Side Corridor. I was always pestering Art to put them back up. Rumor was they were in storage, not thrown out. My Grandfather Lee had also them in the Don The Beachcomber he owned in Corona Del Mar in 61. Loved them. I frequently used the ones at the Tahitian Lani in Ala Wai Harbor Waikiki as my brunch time 'office' in the 80's.
Don Wanderer I remember those in Sam's! I saw one in the basement when it was Don's, and one at the Long Beach swap meet.
So glad you had Justin Scarred on. I've been hooked ever since, watching every episode.
Shingle Stain must look like that because your cocktail matched the color of the Topper.
Gotta see The Hula Girls live.
Aaron Francis Thanks Aaron… Can't wait to have Justin back on
Seeing the last scene of you two playing in the dining room near the waterfall instantly took me back to that night. Me and a buddy were many cocktails in and we gave up our booth in the dagger bar, went to see how deep into Don’s we could explore when we came upon you two gents. We just stopped in our tracks to watch you two play. It was phenomenal, sad , emotional and the perfect way to show love for this little bit of paradise. Thanks for that awesome moment
Shawn Olsson wow, that's an amazing memory. Thank you for sharing that.
That flip of the bottle of bitters... very Tom Cruise in “Cocktail”.
Keith Azoubel 😂
Aw the final night playing brought a tear to my eye
Awesome tribute to Don’s Spike. 👍 Made me feel somewhat melancholy knowing we won’t ever get back there. Glad the sign went to a good home and hopefully it’ll return someday in a new location. As for the Shingles Stain - I’m not convinced 😜
So cool that Don's sign was saved! My wife was telling me that it was going to be removed, but she didn't know what its fate was. Looking forward to seeing the BBQ episode! Cheers brother!
Ballistic BBQ I'm looking forward to that as well!!
Wow. I never had been to Dons but that tribute at the end of the video was seriously emotional. That should be a historic monument in my opinion. Places like that should be cherished, it’s so sad
I miss the place terribly.
This show is the best thing to come out of 2020, for sure!🗿🧉🌺
Nick Morton Thanks, buddy
Love this bro!!! My wife bought me the shingle stain tents for Christmas so cool!!!! I am so glad you got to see the sign thanks for documenting so much amazing tiki history 👍👍👍👍👍😎🍹🍍🌴🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Logged a lot of hours at Don's and have many memories that came up during the montage at the end. I always thought it would have been fun to do a flash mob tiki takeover when the Himalayan Grill moved in. Maybe at a later date. Aloha
Great show, the segment on the sign was awesome, great ending to the sign and the segment !!
So emotional to watch you and your slide guitarist playing that last song! What a sense of lost history you get from it! The disregard for such amazing history our culture has is sickening!
eatmusic16 Thanks, it was hard putting that whole segment together
Amazing show! Loved it! It was great seeing my Don's friends. Can't wait to be drinking together again!
So hard to go back and watch the lockdown episodes but I like old Spike, he's sassy lol
I've also enjoyed the Shingle Stain with Plantation Dark. As for Don the Beachcomber, I was fortunate to flight out from Colorado and visit the Tuesday before it closed. I met a new Tiki friend in the Dagger Bar and looked around a bit, but I never got to see the whole place or hear The Hula Girls there. Thanks for the update on the sign.
This looks like the shark tooth cocktail in color. I noticed after it sat for a minute it looked darker and more like what stain would look like. Great video! Especially about the sign. awesome!
I’m glad the sign went to a couple of people that really appreciate Don’s and have a plan to maybe reincorporate the sign into a new tiki bar down the road. I had a chance to go to Don’s in 2017 but we didn’t end up going because the party I was with was too tired. So bummed I didn’t get to go at least once before it closed.
Loved seeing the "bonus" content and what the plans are for the sign!
A quick comment on Vic and the "juice of one lime" etc. A while back, I had a discussion about this w Beachbum, and the conclusion was that people think only Don was worried about people copying his recipes. Vic was too, but whereas Don protected them with secrecy, Vic protected them with *misdirection*. He had discovered a set of personal letters from Vic to close friends and we deduced that he was cagey about the exact quantities of citrus juices, and often played fast and loose with the orgeat. (Like with the syrup, the orgeat was also triple strength, which is why people never get Vic's Scorpion Bowl or Rum Keg right when making them at home.) Great video as always...our lifeline of Tiki during these dark days!
Love that bittersweet part at the end...
I’m glad it’s related to roofing tiles because I immediately thought of the shingles virus and sheet stains.
Also, someone should start something similar to the neon sign museum but with tiki bar signs
1/2 lime
1 ounce dark Jamaica rum (maybe Appleton 12 Year)
1/2 ounce St James Rhum
1/4 ounce Pimento Dram
Dash of pomegranate syrup (grenadine)
Shake with cracked ice and pour over cracked ice in a 12-ounce Chimney Glass.
Found this old "Shingle Stain" recipe, it`s from the 40`s - sounds a lot more appealing, than the newer one - Cheers
icemann10 it sounds a LOT more appealing! Thanks!
Absolutely loved this episode man! I guess the shingle stain resembles creosote in some strange way?! Love the ideas for the future episodes. I got into Tiki about 3 years ago and during lockdown last year made my own Tiki inspired backyard covered seating area. Nowhere as amazing as the Breezeway but it’s our little hideaway. Maybe in a future episode you could feature viewers own tiki bars and you could give us some tips!!
Darren and Tina Sale cool idea!
Love the lament at the end.
Nice tribute there at the end Spike.
Mario Gonzalez Thank you so much.
Lallalove but who is the bitter soul who have the thumbs down? They need that drink lol
pinkyhotmessx69 😂 there's always one person who leaves that thumbs down… 🤷🏻♂️ 🤡
“It’s a cool experience though”. Yep, that sums up Tiki perfectly!
Oh wow! Don's swordfish is at Lace Pickups! They are one of the best pickup makers in the world! And they do it from light and mellow right for tiki-music up to death metal, and yeah Lace Sensors are one of the best strat-pickups ever. I have a drop'n'gain set in one of my guitars and that stuff is powerful!
Things always look smaller way up in the air I guess, that thing is huge!
Yessir! People have become so thin skinned! I just got hooked into the Tiki vibe during the quarantine so I'm new to this. Still haven't been to a Tiki Bar and it's such a bummer that Don's is no longer. Used to live in LA, down in North SD county now. If they ever need to get rid of it or store it elsewhere, I got room for days!
Very Kool!!!
Love this episode!
Justin Bird thanks, Justin!
You have some great shirts but this one is extra awesome!!!
Amazing video Spike! Really loved the bonus video about Don’s.
Jack Gano thanks, Jack!
Awesome video as usual Spike. I loved the history and passion you're showing. Very poingant. I really wish I could've experienced the time and places talked about here.
Jamie Sellick Thanks, I appreciate that
Lakewood has the best pineapple juice. Sold in a glass bottle, no additives, just pineapple!
Great show!!! Hey maybe they can buy the property where the Bahooka was at. The structure is still there with the giant anchor and horn.
Sonny Soto not a bad idea
Glad to see a cool piece of history get save. Great vid tonight and awesome looking glassware.
Cody Burns Thanks so much.
Very late to the Party (but hey isn't it Fashionable?), you could probably scan and print stuff like the roof if you don't want to ruin it, that way you're also covered if you've got a party and a few people want a Shingle plus theres a souvenir to remember a great night by.
✨The Glass that it was served in✨
Larissa R. Haha... ☺️
T-shirts maybe??
Darren and Tina Sale I'm considering that! :)
A chi chi is a pineapple juice heavy drink!
Loving this show. It's so strange that it's taken so long to get a recommendation for it on RUclips though. Commenting here as I think the algorithm needs to get other people in the know! Also Spike, please can you tell me where we can get one of those pilsner glasses?
Oliver Spicer yeah, I've had the hardest time getting any exposure on RUclips. I've done all of the tricks too! My buddy thinks that it's because it's an alcohol thing.
Oliver Spicer eBay for the glass ✨
@@BreezewayCocktailHour That sucks man, I'm sure it will pick up in no time. Just an FYI though, I was watching your channel's Cocktails playlist and there's some politics videos ("Timcast") mixed in and around it. That meant that I got all these suggestions which are way off. Any chance you could make one just about your cocktails as that's what I think most people will be here for (and your music of course!). Cheers and looking forward to the next vid that is premiering today :)
Thank you Matt. Wonderful episode. You're one heck of a film maker.
Last time I cried that much it was the final scene of "Old Yeller". Sheesh.
Thanks, buddy. Yeah, it was an emotional one for me to put together.
Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice “Cocktail” will give you much better cranberry flavor than the 100% juice version, which is mixed with other fruit juices.
Cranberry Juice “Cocktail “ is essentially cranberry-ade-just water, cranberry and sugar.
Also, maybe try adding a half ounce more grenadine to balance out the dryness you mentioned.
Thanks for the recipe!!
Also, one dash is 1/8 teaspoon or .625 ml.
Oh and btw, totally up for the food segments. There is NO content on this. Char siu pork and a Mai Tai is good times.
Definitely!! Love to see food featured. Love a Pupu platter!!
Back when Tiki Central was not broken, there was a pretty neat thread on Tiki Food, lots of great recipes...maybe I'll see if I can find the thread on archive.org...
For a pineapple heavy drink. Try a pain killer super good.
I know you are a purist, but I added 1/2 oz Demerara to mine and much improved!
Very nice 👍
totally not stupid. I'd order a shirt, "Don't skimp the mint."
Man, I need to design that!!
First like, then wait, then watch, then drink!
Initially the mai tai rum was wray and nephew 17 year, he depleted the worlds stock with his drinks popularity, moved onto the 15 year, did the same with that, then they moved onto a blend to try and mimic the flavors, probably what they were using in the 70s..
My dad served in the Marine Corps during the Korean War. One of the MREs of the time, they all called "shit on a shingle." I'm pretty sure that's what they were referring to.
Needs some simple. I bet it would be a banger then.
4 oz pineapple juice, 2 oz vodka, 1 oz macadamia nut liqueur, 1 oz coconut syrup
eatmusic16 oh wow, that IS pineapple juice heavy! ✨👌🏻
Great episode! What’s the name of the song you play there at the end? And where can I find it?
Does the song with your steel guitarist at the end have a name?
Juan Blanco "Teardrop" by Santo and Jonny
Hey Spike, new fan to the show and just starting to learn about tiki bar culture. Did the fine gentleman that bought the Don's sign do anything with it yet? Thanks and great job on the channel.
Thanks for watching the show! Yes, they are currently repairing and restoring the sign. I hope to have an event with them eventually!
@@BreezewayCocktailHour Look forward to watching it. :)
Does the grenadine taste like pomegranate?
Grenadine is pomegranate
@@pinkyhotmessx69 thank you. Thought so but wasn't exactly sure.
Cranberry was not readily available or popular in the 40's, 50's and 60's. (Which is when the majority of Tiki Drinks were becoming popular.) Cranberry juice wasn't pushed until the 70's and beyond.
I come for the girls.
