This is my home Tiki bar in Huntington Beach. The name comes from a song that my uncle Jan Davis made back in the 60's. My dad played drums on the track as well.

The bar itself is vintage and belonged to my Grandparents. I modified it by puttin the Tiki head and shield on the front and rigged it with a smoke machine so it blows moke out of the mouth. I also made the Bamboo lights hanging above it.

Of course you gotta have a leopard skin pool table too.

I LOVE the name and you have done a great job!!! Did you put the leopard skin trim on the pool table yourself...that looks cool. Your bamboo lights turned out well too.

Hey TikiTortured!
Those super-cool bamboo lights look just like the ones I bought from a super-cool couple in the parking lot of Home Depot about 6 years ago. Was dat you?
Your bar is awesome, btw!
