Burleyque,
If you're still looking for some local Clement Creole Shrubb, Mrs. Moai found it at Applejack last week. Two bottles left after she bought one.
Any updates on Mauka Tiki?

Thanks!!
Mauka is looking good and we'll be open at the beginning of December. As soon as we have a firm opening date, I promise you all will be among the first to know! Also we'll be having several tastings and pre-opening parties - to get on the invite list send an email with your favorite cocktail to info@maukatiki.com

Aloha ya all.......
I was sittin' at some french absinthe bar / bistro in the highlands Saturday night when Jay Dedrick walks up to my table and sits down.
We talked about everything under the sun. Nice guy.
He's super excited about his Mauka tiki bar and has been working on it seven days a week.
They went to California and trucked back the two Fifteen foot tikis. Now they just gotta figure out how stand them up and make sure they stay there without pulling the building over. 2000 lbs each they gotta stay still.
He grudgingly had to shake up management already but is still hoping for a December opening.
And I guess mostly the reason for this letter is I just wanted to share his excitement in the enthusiasm Denver has in Tiki culture and mentioned Steve (Fink) and Michelle (burleycue) by name.
Good job ya all....See ya there.......Mr. Dale

1340 am..... Newish radio station ran by professor Mikey of radio 1190 Fame. But whats cool is he brought along the policy of playing local bands in the mix. And this week blasting out of the speakers was our very own Mike and Maraca 5-0. A little local surf band warmed my cold December heart. Buy Local....listen local.

I went by O.A. today and Bob was telling me that they shipped a truckload of material to Mauka Tiki. Sounds promising. My best wishes for this to turn out right, for all the true believers in the area!

High hopes - Realistic expectations - Support it in any event!
That seems like a good attitude towards many things, but especially towards such an investment into Tiki in these times. Can't wait to see some pics once it's open.

Hi all- If you haven't been down to Madison Street for Tiki Tuesdays, I highly recommend heading over there. http://www.madisonstreetdenver.com/specialspromos
Bartender Matty is obsessed with tiki cocktail mixology and has memorized a long list of great classic tiki cocktails- I think he's pretty much got Beachbum Berry's books down. He brings in his own home made Dons Mix and other ingredients, and has created some of his own tiki concoctions that stand up to the traditional recipes.
He's also going to be the head bartender at Mauka and has been testing some of the menu on those nights.
If you get there 4-6pm tiki drinks are $5, but the tiki drinks flow all night.
Hope to see some of you there!

Just a heads up- this Tuesday is the last Tiki Tues Matty will be heading up. It's his last night at Madison Street before he moves over full time to the tiki bar to get our program in order. So head down there this Tuesday!
Kevin Burke from Colt and Gray will also be behind the bar- and if you have been to C&G you know Kevin has some serious love for the tiki cocktails, especially historic recipes!

Oriental theater.....Wed. February 8th......Horror flick Dawn of the dead.
But it also says $3 Zombies......
I'm gonna have to check on this. A $3 Zombie has got to be a seriously bad beverage......but what the hell. Monsters and cheap drinks could make for one awesome good evening. Long walk from here but I've done worse.

Apparently Matty Durgin has brought Tiki Tuesday back to Denver at the Coupe Bar/Ghost Plate & Tap. Of course, it was last week (3/27)! Anyone aware of this becoming a regular event for Tuesdays and Tiki (and hopefully myself)?

Adrift Tiki Bar is now OPEN! Broadway and Alameda!
The Kiddos and I went tonight and it was very well done....drinks, food and decor are top notch.......Good Job to Jay Dedrick and crew.
It was very nice to see our own Michelle behind the bar looking lovely as always.
But it was also very cool to see all those smiling faces who have longed for another tiki bar to come along since the demise of Boyds........
Tiki Hosts and surf Band Couple Erin and Mike.....as well as all the brothers and sisters Of the FOM........Mike, Patrick, Scott, Jason and Piper......and many more.....
Thanks for Tuesday invite Lava.....we'll have to meet up one of these warm summers nights.....
