This tiki bar opened to much fanfare in 2001, but it reportedly closed for "renovations" in November of 2002. In reality, it shut down after running into some governmental crankiness over unpaid back taxes.

Their theme was Rat Pack meets Tiki. They also had a number of early Tiki Farm mugs branded with their location.

In 2006, the space finally reopened as Headhunters, a punk dive bar renowned as a live music venue.

Headhunters fell on hard times and was cleaned up and re-branded in 2012 as Metal and Lace: Steampunk Lounge by Host Jon Taffer of the Bar Rescue television show.

However, the changes didn't stick and the bar went back to its old name and ways and closed in 2014.
