Suggested by several respected people, Frankie's is the real deal. It's a tiki bar that has old school polynesian decor, including internally lit puffer fish, and yet is not tired and gross. There are some carved coconut palm chairs (very upright) and benched alcoves along with barstools. The space is pretty much the perfect size for a neighborhood bar and has a fascinating mix of patrons.
The drink list is classic tiki with some proprietary concoctions. As one would expect, the drinks descriptions are more humorous than a guide to what brand of liquor is actually used. We tried the Lava Leche, Thurston Howl, and Mai Tai. All were very respectable. For many of the drinks, one can either get the drink in a glass or in a specific tiki ceramic tumbler. They also have an on-line store for the drinkware and wearables.
Certainly worth a visit for those interested in tiki bars or just a fun setting to socialize.
