Purple Orchid Exotic Tiki Lounge

El Segundo, California, United States

Charming neighborhood bar that began a conversion to tiki in 2001 when it was purchased by current owners Dave and Rebecca Fernandez. Purple Orchid serves tropical drinks in mugs featuring their logo tiki that are available for sale. Purple Orchid periodically hosts parties to celebrate special events such as Halloween, New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day, by having bands perform on their small tiki-filled stage. Purple Orchid has two pool tables covered in purple felt, and a jukebox containing a few tiki-bar friendly selections, including APE's Jungle Sounds. The owners' Purple PT Cruiser painted with color-changing flames and the Purple Orchid can be seen around town. Be sure to visit the restrooms, which are papered with pages from Sven Kirsten's Book of Tiki.

    I was here with Tiki Al for his mug release of some special limited edition Bumatay mugs he had made while in China. Photo shows me in center with Liz and Al on my right and the Purple Orchid owners on my left. I've been here on several occasions, usually when they book a band I like -- I think I was here to see The Insect Surfers play a couple of times.
