Le Tiki Lounge – Get your Tiki on in Paris, France by Tom Hemmen
Le Tiki Lounge, when we visited it, was a hopping bar with a local, lively crowd and friendly, helpful bartenders. There is a front area with the actual bar and some tables, a comfortable back room to lounge around in over drinks, and a basement they apparently open for group reservations – we did not see it during our visit, just the stairs down.

Guest Tiki Bar Review: Dirty Dick – Paris by Tom Hemmen

Guest Tiki Bar Review: Zombie Village – San Francisco, CA by Kevin Crossman (Ultimate Mai-Tai)
In the middle of the 19th century, the sailors of the British Navy were given citrus juice rations as a way to avoid scurvy.
