There's a new tiki bar called Kona Club on Piedmont. It took the place of the old King's X bar which had been there for years. The King's X had the medieval decor thing going and was one of the more "surly" bars in the neighborhood. There are four bars on the Piedmont strip - King's X, The Kerry House (the hip dive bar), Cato's (beers, ale, and bar food), and Egbert Souse's (the streetsmart surly bar - as in, you'd hear a record scratch if I walked in there). Anyway, this tiki place is so new, they don't even have a sign yet. It still says "King's X" on the outside with a giant cardboard handwritten open sign on the door.
When I was there last week with Big Cherry they really didn't have a menu of tiki drinks yet, so I let the bartender choose some sort of tropical-style drink. I should probably mention here that my friend and I were already a little drunk from drinking at my place earlier, so ending up at a tiki bar was a result of that buzz.
Ok, back to the drink -- the bartender whipped up a mai tai, but she warned me that all they had was 150-proof rum so I should drink slow. Halfway through our drinks we were drunk-calling people with the MOST HILARIOUS prank calls EVER.
Oddly enough, the next day the people we called said they couldn't understand one word we were saying.

I do that ALL the time with my ex girl friends! The drunk dialing thing I mean...
& what are you about to sip on in that picture? is that a mojito or something? I don't know I usually only drink Guiness stout with an occasional shot of the don julio takilla.
