Hale Tiki
Date: Unknown
I visited Hale Tiki twice—both visits we were treated super well by Brad and his girlfriend. I have at least one mug and a few swizzles still. The controversy was unfortunate—it was a fantastically built little space with great music and drinks.
Many years later, I have several decor pieces in my own home bar by way of another collector.
Caliente Tropics Resort

Super cool, well themed mid century motel. Home of “The Reef”, and hosts Tiki Caliente each year.
The Warehouse

Visited in 2000, just as I was discovering tiki. My memories are fuzzy, but I remember it being cool.

Been twice—April 2015, and August 2022. Cool history, beautiful view, but I just don’t get the hype. Drinks are always very meh to me.
