I’m a sucker for a classic neon sign. John’s Grill in San Francisco has been in business since 1908 and while they’re probably most famous for a bird shrine, I dug the food and atmosphere most.
Tikiyaki 5-0
There’s never a bad time to see The Tikiyaki Orchestra or Tikiyaki 5-0. This was from the Alpine Village in July 2019.
Zombie Village!
Another first visit (also on June 29, 2019) to a relatively new tiki bar in San Francisco - Zombie Village. The space was big, but still dark and full of detail. If you are planning a visit, you may want to make a reservation to sit in a hut.

It' ain’t easy being green. Or a long-standing tiki idol that probably only exists because he’s a load-bearing tiki.
Oh, if only more mid-century architecture included more load-bearing tikis.
