There’s a nice story in the Los Angeles Times about the rebirth of The Tonga Hut, which is officially LA’s oldest operating tiki bar. After tiki went out of fashion, sports memorabilia was nailed on top of the tropical decor and the exotic drink menu was sadly killed.

However, new owners Ana Reyes and Jeremy Fleener have begun the process of restoring the bar to its original tikified condition, which now includes a menu of 16 tropicals.

Sin City is about to get a new tiki bar — if it can live up to the promise of its press release, it’s going to be a great one. Frankie’s Tiki Room is going to have all the traditional elements that modern tikifiles long for: original tropical drinks with souvineer mugs and tiki statues galore.

The bar’s menu boasts to have fifteen original exotic drinks and five classic drinks, including a Mai Tai, Lapu Lapu, Navy Grog, Pikake and the Zombie. All drinks will cost $8. Eight drinks will have a souvineer mug available, at either $15 for the mug or $20 for a mug and the drink.

The interior will feature tikis and decor by the world’s top carvers, including Bamboo Ben, Bosko, Crazy Al Evans, and Leroy Schmaltz.

Is it December yet?
