I am so lucky live close to an original part of Tiki! And so lucky (maybe spoiled) to have Kelly! The Tonga Hut is the only bar in the San Fernando Valley (at least I know about) still operating after 50 years. It is the perfect place to stop in for an exquisitely crafted tiki beverage and there is almost always somebody fun in the bar from TC. The jukebox is great...just put on a little Tikiyaki and what more could you need. Not only are Kelly's cocktails amazing,they are also fun to order I just love the names...Hipalicious and Dan-O's day off. However don't let the effervescent names fool you. She is a true master of mixology and this girl knows her stuff. You are sure to get a serious Tiki drink with Kelly behind the bar. If you can't decide she will craft something to match your mood if need be. I started the Grog Log a couple weeks ago. I guess I better get back soon or at this rate it will take me over a year to finish! Thanks Tonga Hut for bringing us Kelly!
