The good The bad and The ugly
first the good
Christiki was there and Q-tiki and I had a great time.
Music is still Hawaiian
Navy Grog is good and in the right glass
3 bartenders were form the old TV, no Alfie or Ben :(
it is open 2pm-2am
Valet parking doesn't cost anything except for tip, TV validates for 4 hours
there is a huge Bird of paradise plant, an old one , right in front of the bar
the bad
no resemblance to old TV, major downgrade
has the same atmosphere as the Roosevelt, or the Standard
no more munchies in a bowl, instead bread in the basket (not too bad)
Mai tai was too sweet and not enough rum (could be the bartender)
not much ambiance
the ugly
BH TV is gone forever.....
The movie on the wall is just a repetition of some guys surfing in the ocean. The restaurant does not serve TV menu.
Yes I would go back again at 2 in the afternoon sit by the pool and have a nice tropical drink. It has 50's feel to it and I liked it.
