That's something that I've wondered about as this whole stuff has started going down with the Tonga Room but I hadn't gotten around to doing the research myself yet.

I could build a whole database of San Francisco sites I daydream about becoming tiki hotspots. Top of the list is a gorgeous a-frame church by Laguna Honda—with a light remodel it could be a ringer for the Kahiki. Imagine it! Finnegan's Wake in Cole Valley would an unusually ideal space for a tiki bar. Martin Cate (the mastermind behind Forbidden Island) is kicking around opportunities right now, and I'm crossing my fingers that he partners up with someone to open up a tiki bar here in the city. Really we're quite spoiled here, we have a higher density of tiki locations than anywhere in the world, but I want more, more, more... Hey, thanks for the Critiki love!
