Personalized Critiki Maps

The Critiki website now displays on your profile a map of all the tiki bars you say you've been to. Rather cool if you ask me. 

Upon first glance it looks as though I've only been to two, if you zoom in you can see more locations.

For Minneapolis, the tiki icon marks the current Psycho Suzi's Motor Lodge. The "pin" above the tiki icon shows the location of the original Psycho Suzi's which closed in 2004. I made it to the original location only once but have been to the current location multiple times.

For San Francisco, the tiki icon on the left marks The Tonga Room and the one on the right marks Pagan Idol. I'll soon be able to add Adrift in Denver to the map.

Flashback Friday

Leaving today today to visit Warren in California. Our plan is to visit a few tiki bars. This photo is from a visit a couple of years ago when I visited him there and we went to Nick's, a fabulous old school supper club, on the Pacific between Half Moon Bay and San Francisco. The drink pictured is called the Bermuda Bomb

Throwback Thursday - Tonga Room

Last year on a trip to California to visit my friend Warren, we visited the Tonga Room in San Francisco. We ordered Mai Tais which turned out to be most fabulous and took in the sights and sounds of the place. What a whole bunch of fun. The place had a pool in the middle of it with a floating stage. Unfortunately there were no musicians playing on it at the time. In addition to all this, it was fixed up to rain over the pool every so often. How cool is that? I found the above photo on Instagram today. 

Tiki Bar Tour

Sunday, February 5, 2017

In a couple weeks I'll be making a California trip to visit my friend Warren who winters there. I'll be staying with him and his friend Scott who lives in Half Moon Bay. We plan to take a trip into San Francisco to visit a few tiki bars. I texted this graphic I made to Warren a few days ago to let him know which bars are at the top of my list.
