I'm having trouble finding my enthusiasm for this reopening..........Do not go in expecting it to be the same old Sam's.
Take that all with a grain of salt -- some of my info comes from rumbles & rumors.

I'm just happy it's re-opening (and right down the street from my shack!!!) Let's all pray to the tiki gods for a good bartender and we'll have some fun!!! I look forward to hosting Hanford, you and the rest of the Northern CA crowd as you've been so gracious to WooHoo and I on or recent treks to your island.

I poked my head in there the other day. Got a tour, all the peeps were really nice there and all. Not going to be the same for sure, but let's see what happens. Is it going to be there for long, don't know? I am carving up some artifacts for them. Picked up this job but had to save Hukilau for 2008.

The place looks real close to opening. Most all of the inside looks finished and there were alot of folks running about.

Sam's is open for sure. They are closed Monday's until Summer. New drink menu and food menu. I haven't had dinner yet but the prices on the Pupu's are more reasonable than they have been before. There is a Wine Wednesday promo that has all wines at 50% off! Too bad that can't be the MaiTai's. The bartender tells me new owners took it over in January of '08 from the the (new) owners that re-opened it last summer. It seems the old owners had a bit of a cash flow problem. These guys seem to be trying. They want to change the name because they don't think Sam's has a very good reputation any more. They are considering the name Kona, my only concern is that they don't move away from their great Tiki decor.

Sam's bar rubbish: tequila - vodka - tequila - gin - tequila - martini glasses - tequila - bourbon - tequila - wine glasses - tequila - Cruzan rum - tequila. So, what drinks are most popular at Sam's? Make a good Navy Grog do they?

This just in.......
Hi Chris,
Thought you might like to know, there will be a meeting at Sam's Wednesday the 12th at 6pm from a consulting firm hired by the landlord to consider demolishing Sam's, rebuilding it with generic retail spaces with condo's above them and underground parking. This is not involving the city yet but we feel the landlord is obviously testing the waters. We found out by receiving a letter in today's mail addressed to "resident". Any support you could bring in opposition to this horrible possibility would be greatly appreciated. First MaiTai's on me!
Best regards,
Chuck Purrington
Managing Partner
Sam's Huntington Beach
