You'll have to get on pappy for the pics. He's our shutterbug.....he might be holding one or two for blackmail before posting.
I thought it was a pretty good spot overall. The front half of the place is pretty "blah", but the back room, with the murals etc, was a nice little retreat.
The food was ok (we all shared dishes & apps, and it was pretty much hit & miss standard New England asain fare), but the cocktails were actually pretty damn good (and strong). The Mai Tai was a bit sweet, but traditionally made. Pappy's zombie lived up to its name and got all up on him after only one!!
I also had a Suffering Bastard, which was a bit off from any recipie I've had, but had some of that pimento/allspice liquor in it that REALLY made the drink complex & interesting.
Best of all was, once again, the company. It was nice to see Mr. AND Mrs. Pappy out & about again, good to talk rum with scottes (again), and generally shoot my drunken mouth off to anyone who'll listen 
It was a nice save of the night that almost wasn't.
Looking forward to the next one at the New Tiki!!

In my thread regarding South Pacific in the Locating Tiki area, I described it as a tale of two restaurants. The front and the back are like two totally different places.
I can't imagine anyone ever sitting in that front section when they can sit in the back!
Glad you guys had fun, wish I could have been there.
Let's see those pictures Pappy!!!

Granite pretty much photographed everything there was to look at. Here's a lamp he missed:
Here's all I remember from that night:

I will add one more. Here's the coolest Tiki room maybe in the whole state and look how many of us were there enjoying it.

I guess it's our own private club house until a 99 or something moves in some day.
I hope I can join you guys one of these days!
I was hoping for more drunk pictures of you all!!!!

I heard Walgreen's as exclusive rights on demolishing tiki establishments in the East!

Argh - looks like I missed another good event. That back room looks awesome.
Cool trick there Bargoyle - so what do you have to drink to go translucent? I'd like to try some of that!
Thanks for pics Pappy!
