| - Frankie's Tiki Room, a historic establishment in Las Vegas. This is a no frills local watering hole. Don't expect to be given 5 star service. It's a non spectacular building.
We showed up somewhat early, 4:30 p.m. and saw no cars in lot, I thought they we're closed, but they're open 24/7. Place is dark and old. If you have asthma, don't go. The place smells like old cigarette smoke. We sat at a table for about 10 minutes before I figured out no one was coming out to take our order. Only the bartenderess was there. So you have to go up and order your drink at bar. Also, while you look at the drink menu, keep in mind that the strength of drink is marked by amount of skulls, three being weakest and five strongest. I didn't figure out until I had ordered what sounded like a strong drink and wound up with a somewhat girlie one. So I then ordered the Zombie. Delish. My wife and bro in law ordered Mai Tais and he couldn't finish in a timely manner. Too strong! Drinks are $8 and I think $25 if you want to keep souvenir tiki glass.
Place is dark and stinky, but the drinks are fabulous. Like I said, don't expect much attention from young lady behind bar and don't wrinkle your nose because of cigarette stink, you're not in California anymore. Frankie's is a place that's worth a visit for a good stiff drink.
