Sam's has a Polynesian revue weekly. But my favorite part has to be the 'postwar' feeling of Sam's; from the newspaper articles on the wall to the Mural in the bar, Sam's reflects the memories of our boys in the South Seas. It represents a moment in time. The bar, is unbelievable, and the hidden village, not to be missed. http://www.samsseafood.com/ https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/LA-Area 101bc85bb033874af1b87420b7f0e919 Fri, 30 Sep 2005 03:27:52 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=LA-Area https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Sams-Seafood/IMG_7725.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Sams-Seafood/IMG_7725.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Sams-Seafood/IMG_7725.thumb.jpg 108 144 Our California (Mostly) Coastal Crawl has continued northward. Here you'll find the gems of the L.A. area- Tiki-Ti, Bahooka, and Sam's Seafood. https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Bahooka 4019e51de2e5d703402d06d19172dbb6 Fri, 30 Sep 2005 03:22:18 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Bahooka https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Bahooka/IMG_7773.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Bahooka/IMG_7773.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Bahooka/IMG_7773.thumb.jpg 108 144 A twisting turning maze of tropical fish and exotic drinks await you! Bahooka is marine salvage taken to culinary delights. From the moment you walk in the door and are greeted by the massive Tiki, to the soft Hawai'ian music, Bahooka, in its windowless wonder, delights! http://www.geocities.com/bahookarestaurant/ https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Tiki-Ti 4878254c5cc8659916b5b6c73a0e1b1e Fri, 30 Sep 2005 03:21:53 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Tiki-Ti https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tiki-Ti/IMG_7748.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tiki-Ti/IMG_7748.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tiki-Ti/IMG_7748.thumb.jpg 108 144 Amazing mixology and Tiki Central friends took precedence over good photography- although we may receive a few more pix at a later date. Tiki-Ti is the pilgrimage that must be undertaken at least once in every Tikiphiles life ;-) as this is where genuine mixology lives on. As I told Oaktiki- the Tiki-Ti was worth every mile it took to get there! http://www.tiki-ti.com/ https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/GALLERIES-LA-Area-Apartments 5384e1c1499f98e1acb5a4e13a0d1a8e Sun, 21 Aug 2005 01:56:37 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=GALLERIES-LA-Area-Apartments https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/LA-the-Tiki-Apts/IMG_7920.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/LA-the-Tiki-Apts/IMG_7920.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/LA-the-Tiki-Apts/IMG_7920.thumb.jpg 150 113 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Tiki-Adult-Theater 9895bef9f6bb1d8fd238d58b3761160b Sat, 16 Jul 2005 10:21:11 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Tiki-Adult-Theater https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tiki-Adult-Theater/IMG_8208.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tiki-Adult-Theater/IMG_8208.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tiki-Adult-Theater/IMG_8208.thumb.jpg 108 144 What can I say? Tiki and Wahines.

The mecca. The Tiki GODS! Leroy Schmaltz and Bob Van Oosting are THE origin of so much of what was and what remains- and what remains to be built! They are the GODS who carve, create, import and supply so much of what we know and love. Raise a Mai Tai to the one, the only, Oceanic Arts! https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Tropics-Anaheim 6e0960358ab3b64ddaa44df400acc624 Fri, 24 Jun 2005 06:04:55 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Tropics-Anaheim https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tropics-Anaheim/IMG_8206.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tropics-Anaheim/IMG_8206.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tropics-Anaheim/IMG_8206.thumb.jpg 108 144 Another of the former Ken Kimes chain of tropical hotels (see Caliente Tropics in Palm Springs for the best surviving example. No Tikis in evidence. And the sign was saddly missing it's "P". https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Purple-Orchid 2311c01ee5b114a9946639e7eefcc747 Fri, 10 Jun 2005 09:23:39 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Purple-Orchid https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Purple-Orchid/IMG_8193.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Purple-Orchid/IMG_8193.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Purple-Orchid/IMG_8193.thumb.jpg 108 144 It all began as they "...always wanted a Tiki bar...". The Purple Orchid is Rebecca and Dave's Tiki dream come true; a friendly Tiki haven! Most of the pictures we took are in the main bar area, but there is another room with pool tables- covered in purple felt, of course. And no visit to the Purple Orchid could be complete with a perusal of the bathrooms- wallpapered WITH pages from the "Book of Tiki". The Purple Orchid's signature mugs are a purple treat as well! https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Lucky-Tiki c253732f82cab54f013cf5a1aef93a5f Tue, 07 Jun 2005 09:28:36 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Lucky-Tiki https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Lucky-Tiki/IMG_7846.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Lucky-Tiki/IMG_7846.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Lucky-Tiki/IMG_7846.thumb.jpg 108 144 The Lucky Tiki in Mission Hills. As a stop on the California Coastal Crawl, we met up with a posse of Tikiphiles and had an enchanted evening! As it was Sunday night, D.J. Lee was spinning Exotica, so the atmosphere was complete! http://www.theluckytiki.com/
