Have fun at Frankie's on the 8th but you're gonna miss the grand opening of Sin City's newest Tiki bar by two days.
It's gonna make the Aku Aku look like Margaritaville.

If you take the PA turnpike instead of US80 you'll pass right by Pittsburgh on your way from NYC to Chicago (heck even US80 is close to Pittsburgh). It's about halfway between the two and has the Tiki Lounge. If I'm in town I'll meet ya there.

Pittsburgh pauly - I should be in Pittsburgh around August 11-12. I have family in Pittsburgh, but did not realize there was a tiki bar there. I would definitively be interested in checking it out.

The staff at Burt's Tiki Lounge was very cool to me when they found out I was on an around the USA tiki road trip. I was the nly one in the bar ordering tiki drinks and they recommended some unique drinks from the menu and were very excited about my posting on TC about Burt's. Definitely worth check out if you are in New Mexico. I think it is the only active tiki bar in the whole state...way to go Burt's...keepin' it alive!
