Some second hand information (originating from someone who lives above the old Hamburger Mary's space in San Francisco) is that the bar going in there at 12th and Folsom will be called the Sneaky Tiki.
Last weekend they were jackhammering out the old floors so I figure maybe early Summer 2005 this place will open. That is all I know for now.

Which corner is it on? There are about 5 bars in that 1 block area. Is it the big space on the southwest corner that becomes a new dance club every 6 months? They had a transparent dance floor over a lighted pool at one time. Seems the location is cursed and will never be successful.

They could at least come up with an original name.

Perhaps "Soon-to-be-Closed-Tiki" didn't sit too well with investors.
I've always had the vibe that this place was owned by gangsters or the Mafia or some such group. In my 16 years in the Bay Area, it's never been the same club for 2 years. Maybe it's a front for money laundering, in which case "Sneaky" is apropos.

My error--it is in the old Hamburger Mary's location which was at 12TH and Howard (not 11th).

mr. smiley - you know claiming to have 'insider information' won't be getting you invited into the tikifight club, so just knock it off already 
We were just talking about Hamburger Mary's. They had great bloody marys, and a cute boy I knew from Philadelphia worked there....

---I made up the Otto / Sneaky TIki rumor. I do know that if Otto ever opens up a tiki bar he will use a more original name, like "Tiki Bob's and Otto's" tee hee

I know, I asked him, and he said that when I win the Lottery and fund it, it'll happen. SO, ANY day now...
