| - Darn good tiki drinks, delicious and ranked by skulls so you don't accidentally imbibe more than you mean to. Since I was driving, I ordered a Lapu Lapu instead of the Zombie I really wanted to try (five skulls just seemed a bit much for the driver). My friend ordered the Mutiny. Both drinks were delicious, $8 each.
We brought our own macadamia nuts because Frankie's serves no food. The bartender loved it and said was a really good idea.
Now if we just knew why the girls in the old black-and-white movie were working so hard to get the shirtless hunk drunk...were they going to sacrifice him or something? It clearly wasn't for sex as he was poured into bed and the girl stalked off refusing his invitation. Ah, the joys of soundless clips on tv. Other sequences were interesting as well; dancers, soundless bands, fashion shows, and Disney's tiki attraction (who knew?) all accompanied by the bar's surf music and the crowd's chants urging others to chug. We should have visited earlier in the week so we could move around and see more of the decor, but the crowd was kind of fun.
The puffer fish lanterns are really cool!
And yeah, it is dark inside...so dark that even coming in at night, it will take a while to be able to see. It's nice that way, though.
