The Tiki Ti

It's a hot day in LA and you are on the east side and its 4pm what better place to swing by but the Tiki Ti?  Opened 52 years ago in a box on Sunset Blvd. where Los Feliz, Hollywood and Silverlake all collide the Tiki Ti has been an owner operated (read smoking) bar since 1961.
Don't expect a martini or a beer at the Tiki Ti just order one of their over 80 Tiki drinks and you'll be alright. This is a Tiki Bar get into it or hit the bricks. This is also an old school bar so bring cash damnit. Well yeah if you do need more cash there is one of them new fangled ATM's by the toilets.
Oh yeah you can smoke there at the bar so if you are one of those "I hate smoking" people please refrain for popping in; no one wants to hear your bellyaching; so move on.

The locals and regulars are the real color of the bar they totally out shine the world class Tiki chatskas! One regular changed a hundred for a friend when I was recently there. The register had just opened so the bar couldn't but a patron could. That's a friendly crowd! The music alone is worth the trip for teetotalers. Obscure Tiki music is mixed with classics. A record was playing when I was last there., that's old school!
So if you are looking for the real thing head to the Tiki Ti.
