It is so small, there is almost always a wait after 8pm, but if you ask me it adds to the already cluttered, half-handed Hawaiian cultural mecca that this place truly is. There are 2 bartenders (father &amp; son) and everything surrounding is Jimmy Buffet meets Tiki Gods meets <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhv7kYY_KCY">Gilligans Island</a> (before the Harlem Globetrotters stopped by the island).<br /><br />I suggest the most delicious drink to be the Hawaiian Twist at $9. I don't know it's strength because I only had a sip, but flavor alone is enough to make you scream "da kine!" and eat some spam.<br /><br />For some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chutzpah">chutzpah</a>, I would reccommend the <a href="http://www.tiki-ti.com/pages/home.html">Tiki Kangaroo.</a> No flavor but will F you in the A.<br /><br />The ultimate favorite is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chutzpah">Ray's Mistake. </a>It's $9 and will deliver flavor and liquor simultaneously.<br /><br />NOTE: Ask for the donkey or the puzzle and you are in for the most amazing FREE thing in your life! (Not exaggerating)<br /><br />Very close to Intelligensia, and walking distance to AKBAR this is a great place to start or finish your night.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2952809643112029096-1464158881034393247?l=ofthebeatenpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ally Stoltzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16681005801632142260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952809643112029096.post-61066942333292664622008-09-15T10:52:00.000-07:002008-09-15T11:21:23.431-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t3Qm2A3lZeI/SM6lQMX21rI/AAAAAAAAAHE/Ygsh2Vnq4d0/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t3Qm2A3lZeI/SM6lQMX21rI/AAAAAAAAAHE/Ygsh2Vnq4d0/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246312313550984882" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t3Qm2A3lZeI/SM6lQdHh0xI/AAAAAAAAAHM/UpCzDKiS6Rs/s1600-h/Picture+3.png" style="text-decoration: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></a>Recently I biked about 11 miles from Westchester to Redondo Beach via Playa Del Rey (stop at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/tanners-coffee-co-playa-del-rey">Tanner's Coffee</a> for a pre-trip break).
