hmm I wonder whats to come?

It was a cool last resort close to home bar.

but nothing special.

Yeah Tiki Trek.

I am not really into Tiki Bars.
But when a warm wind blows, and my thirst needs quenching, I head to Trader Vic's.
Oh yeah I have to be in the right mood to spend $9.- $13. In the East Bay.
No offense intended.

Well, I hope their idea works.

The old crowd there will surely miss $5 pitchers of Pabst and $2 Bud's.................

The one on College is the Conga Lounge. But I drove by there last week and didn't see it... I could have sworn I was looking where it used to be.... Is it still there? Anyone been there recently?

I heard a rumor that they are running a little late on their opening.
I imagine they would like to be open for the Drinking, oops, Holiday Season.

I am ready to go there. But I think I will have to wear socks with my sandels.................

drinkin' beer at 8 years old... hmm,
now we know you must really be from oakland ;)

Re: King's X
I am all for it as long as they don't try to put an umbrella in my beer.

Huh? Everybody knows you put those green army guys in your beer when you were 8. That way you could watch them drown.

I went to the Englander last summer by accident.
Not a bad place. Decent munchies. Nice people.

They were right about the Old Muckers. LOL

Sounds like Rut. Ooops Hut..................................

I went to the bar last night with a group. The decor was nice but kind of shoddily thrown together. I liked the hula girl, volcano, and puffer fish lamps though. I really wasn't very impressed with their watered down and expensive drinks. Also, they played modern music which didn't fit. I think a tiki bar should have music that matches the theme. The only beer on tap was Sierra. Oh god, they had this table, the only one large enough to accomodate our group, that was stupidly covered in black sand that scraped the shit out of any thing you put on it. I had to get a newspaper so I could rest my elbows on it without ripping the shit out of my shirt. That was a poorly thought out idea. All in all, I wasn't impressed in the least with the Kona Club. It's a tired shtick which won't hold up on its own.

They got rid of the pool table? now there is NOTHING to draw anyone in that cave.
The new owners should embrace the D and D/ Gaming clientel and use their lifestyle as a theme. Kinda like a Mideival Times bar (instead of the resturaunt chain) without the sharp pointy jousting sticks- that won't mix with a bunch of drunks.
Or maybe it will.
