Celebrity Bartender

Jump in our time machine as we return to the late 1950's where Tiki had taken over American pop culture. From Polynesian-themed restaurants and bars to theme park shows, bowling alleys, apartment buildings, backyards and basements, Tiki had defined escapism and leisure of the time. Journey back to this golden era to examine the phenomenon first hand!

Thank God the Tiki bar is open! And best of all, it will feature celebrity bartender David Crawford from the world famous SURF BAR on Folly Beach, South Carolina. David will be coming out of retirement to bring his mastery of craft for your sipping pleasure. Not to be outmatched by his quick wit, music knowledge and flair for a story...be it ghost or otherwise!

Our Logo Tiki

The journey would not be complete without a proper logo to symbolize the event. Our featured time traveler is the apprehensive, wide-eyed deity whom has quietly supported the Tiki apartment building in Torrence, California since 1959. Carved by Mike Gildea who apprenticed with George Luke at Trader Luke's in San Pedro. Mike eventually opened his own Tiki shop in Manhattan Beach.

Escapism for the atomic age, 'I Dream of Jeannie' is an example of 1960's American obsession with space. A futuristic companion to tiki!

No Gifts, Please!

Your presence are presents enough

Seriously, I don't need anything. Besides, I will most likely be asking you to act in a few shots for the music video or do a naughty little wiggle with me on the dance floor. That will be a cherished gift captured on celluloid for eternity!

However, for those that cannot fight the urge to "bring a bottle" I suggest looking into the amazing assortment of Hamilton Rums. These are the fuel that make a great tiki drink hum! I know Old Towne Liquor stocks them.


Another suggestion is to seek out your own mug and bring it with you to get filled at the bar. Pick one to match your personality and then become it!


Lastly, if you feel inspired by this party consider making a donation to Bert's Big Adventure. You’ll be helping create magical moments in the lives of children with chronic and terminal illnesses. It’s so simple, yet so impactful!
