A lil' story for ya'll. The bar Champagnes almost became Don the Beachcomber before Don's got Sam's/Kona in Sunset Beach. I met with
Art Snyder
there to discuss how to convert it into a Tiki bar. He wanted to cut it in half, 1/2 Tiki and 1/2 dive. I'm sure glad that Sam's/Kona became available for him instead. This was after I did Frankie's. Just a lil' behind the scene Tiki story.

Sorry I missed you Jon. I went early and picked up mugs for my Bro, David and for friends. Was in Vegas from Friday through Thursday and went to Frankies everyday for 1 or 2 except for today as we left at 6am.

Frankies gets a mention in today's LA Times article on comedian Doug Stanhope.
Your eyes take time to adjust when you step into Frankie's Tiki Room at 3 p.m. Windowless, with scant lighting, the place resembles an urban cave with a scattering of wood-carved odes to pagan gods. You can just barely discern the pair of disheveled drinkers making out at the bar, elbows flailing like two enraptured trolls..
The joint is precisely the kind of dive-bar comedian Doug Stanhope prefers — no, demands — for his midday booze binges and chain-smoking sessions.
Surrounded by a few cronies, he stands in the gloom, nursing two packs of Marlboros and a tumbler of vodka adorned with a splash of juice. He switches to a Three Rum Scum, a kitschy concoction advertised as "a brisk inbreeding of three different rums," before moving on to a series of Miller Lites, downed from the bottle.
