Before you get too excited — early reports are that this location isn’t actually tiki in the way a tikiphile might like. Think modern upscale nightclub, not Polynesian Pop paradise. It’s at the site of a former Hamburger Mary’s at 12th & Folsom. It’s not open just yet, but sounds like it will be September 6, they’re already doing previews. Pan-Asian food, mixed cocktails, tikis on the swizzles & napkins, but not an actual tiki environment. Oh well!
