Hawaii West

This is only a halfhearted attempt at a tiki bar, with a small handful of tiki-god statuettes and a flimsy palm tree reflecting its entire efforts. The froufrou, tropical-themed drinks normally associated with the motif are missing, replaced by a handful of reasonably priced draft beers (although they can whip out a mean mai tai). The bar has been keeping weathered men and neighborhood regulars on the sauce for more than 50 years. There's a pool table, a few tables and stools, and a small kitchen that sometimes serves standard bar fare. - cooljunkie.com
