However, they do book local surf bands from time to time. The Nematoads have played there several times. — Ted James Deep Eddy Records http://www.deepeddy.net The Nematoads http://www.nematoads.com Top

GaryPlanets Joined: Jun 22, 2010 Posts: 120 Durham, NC	Posted on Aug 13 2010 01:49 PM The generically-titled "City Beverage" in Durham, NC is a tiki-themed bar that has live music, although it's usually more of the singer/songwriter ilk. — Full length "Chases Lead to Crashes" available now - The Red Planets Top

That isn't surprised since the greatest Tiki Music of all-time is a bit of a singer/songwriter himself. I'm talking about the great Merrell Fankhauser of course! Top

Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on Aug 13 2010 02:38 PM What was that fabulous looking place in Florida? I remember pictures not that long ago. Also - absolutely no problem at all with this kind of discussion here - but I suspect there are Tiki forums where they do it better. As an India pale ale sipper whose idea of a cocktail is a Virgin Mary straight from the V8 can I am not sure what they are ... Top
Strat-o-rama Joined: Oct 23, 2007 Posts: 385 Boca Raton, Florida	Posted on Aug 13 2010 02:49 PM That was The Mai Kai, in Ft. Lauderdale. See my post above. I (and my wife and young daughter) had the pleasure of meeting Ferenc there. First Friday of every month Cutback plays two sets of surf. We've been a bit delinquent for the summer because of hectic lifestyle, but look forward to getting there again soon. Top

tahitijack Joined: Nov 03, 2006 Posts: 693 San Clemente, CA	Posted on Oct 06 2010 05:40 PM Not certain if these qualify but just in case....... Hapa J's in San Clemente, CA They have been trying to get a permit for live Slack Key music for a year, but the neighbors complain that it would be too loud...say what? The owner even offered to have un-amplified/acoustic slack key....with hula dancers..but the local coneheads living down the street say No! They do serve a great Mai Tai and have a boat load of Hawaiian food (including spam sushi) and Primo, Hinano and other South Pacific beers. Wild West Guitars, Riverside, CA Their show room/bar "The Voodoo Lounge" is pure Tiki decor...Tommy Bahama meets Indiana Jones. The owner did not cut any corners from the seating to the stage lighting and sound. You have to see it. There is a link on the Wild West Guitars website. — Happy Sunsets!
