    Spike! DUDE! This might be my favorite episode yet!!!! Bravo good sir! I'm kinda glad the audio went out! Your VO with all the history, descriptions, interpretations, adjectives? lol, and everything! As a gin guy now, I gotta try that flying fish! Absolute Awesome Story Telling! Bourdain who?

    I remember when this was a stand alone hot dog hut on La Cienega and Beverly Blvd. We would stop for a hot dog then go to a local nightclub that was just a block away. It's gone through so many owners and promises of being restored, and I'm so happy it finally has been. Did you talk into the barrel to get into the club?

    Great episode! Thanks for the mention for making the history stand! Crazy to think all that bamboo and matting and decor sat in storage for 20 years! Bobby Green and his art director Nathan Cabreezy did an amazing job putting that place together and super quickly!! Love all those hanging lamps! Great voice over! Reminded me of Bruce Brown.

    Can you have too many tiki lamps? I say, whatever floats your boat, baby! Tiki is all about creating atmosphere through escapism. So the more varied the tiki lamp, the better. Provided you've got the space. Aloha.

    Mai Tai was underwhelming but okay. I feel like my captains inner circle was made wrong because it tasted like water.

    Hey Spike,
    Speakeasy Tiki must be a trend. A new Tiki bar opened up this spring in Oro Valley, AZ -- a NW suburb of Tucson. Other than a 6' Moai in front of what looks like an empty office space -- which is their back door/emergency exit -- there is no marqee, no external sign. . is in the back of a casual restaurant called the Landing. [Fish tacos are their thing,] Around the back of an Enterprise Rent-A-Car office, there is a wall covered in fake ivy going up 10 or 12 feet. The front door is hidden in a little section of the fake ivy. Once inside, there are the usual dim glass float lamps, and an irregularly-shaped bar is the center of the space. Inside the bar is a huge idol of a big Moai being strangled and eaten by a huge Cthonic octopus. The side walls are lined with high glass cases enshrining a huge tiki mug collection. Drinks are served in normal glassware. [But they just opened.] They say their MaiTai is the 1944 Trader Vic's formula, and I find it strong. They use an overproof white rum. Three pineapple leaves are the garnish. No lime shell [lime juice is pre-squeezed] and no Mint leaves. Runs $18. Their Fried Rice with Shrimp was good. [$15] but they give you a Fork, no Chopsticks.Their menu is different than the Landing's but they share the same kitchen and crew. Patrons can't move from one place to the other without going outside. Open thursday thru Sunday.
    I remember Tail of the Pup. I went to Holywood High and LACC in the Late '60s/Early '70s, before the family moved to Tucson.
    Aloha.

    Was there a few weeks ago. I found the drinks just to be "OK" not great. I know they batch make their drinks so depending when made that could effect overall quality. The place itself is really nice when it comes to the décor and whole vibe of the place. Worth going once, but I doubt I'll be back. My SoCal favs are Strongwater in Anaheim and False Idol in San Diego with Stowaway as a honorable mention in Tustin.

    I did not like any of the four drinks ordered by both me and my friend. I really would like them to have more signature drinks that are classic tiki or variations. I left just missing the drinks from Lono so much- can they get their bartenders to bring that menu here- I think THEN we would have something truly special. I will never forget that Banana Boo Loo. I would also like to go back again and sit at the bar and see what the bartenders can do off menu bc the vibe is awesome I just really really would like to see this menu go to the next level.
