I think I would stack Drink and Eastern Standard, in particular the staff, with the impressive knowledge and experience each staff has to offer, against pretty much any other cocktail establishment anywhere. While it’s a shame that many of the temples of Tiki have fallen victim to the wrecking ball or tacky remodel, the cocktail wisdom lives on at these places. Now, if there were some way to incorporate some appropriate decor and music, that would complete my escapist fantasies…

Oh, but wouldn’t it be great if we had our own Tiki Ti? Graham, to get invited to drinkboston events, just get on the email list by contacting drinkboston at comcast dot net.

I’d definitely be in trouble if there was a Tiki Ti in Boston. Mmm, Ray’s Mistake. Hopefully, I’ll be in town for the next such event (and get invited).

I can’t say specifically ‘yes! It will happen!”, but I can say that Jackson and the ES crew was very happy with the turnout, the vibe and enthusiam of the attendees, and all were in a “let’s do it again” mood, with a possible evening date rather than another afternoon affair. Now that BeachBum Berry has unearthed the secret recipes of Donn Beach and his rivals, we know now that the real drinks, as served in the 30′s-60′s, were mighty potent, unlike the bastardized versions we drank in the 70′s-90′s. So “after 5″ may be better in terms of besotment.

Pinky, we missed you!

Great event, I would love to see some sort of annual tiki event develop at ES.

It sounds like they could have sold twice as many tickets based on the size of the waitlist, it would be great to do something bigger and use the whole restaurant if possible.

You’re right, Bargoyle. Boston needs one tiki bar at the very least. Our own Tiki Ti. Wow, that was fast shopping, Steve. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
