With a Sudden Late Change to tonights line up, TIKI BAR presents:

“THE CHARLIE’S”  a fast firing semi-automatic, rockin’ and raunchy funk act. A hard funkin’ rhythm section (Scott Cherry-Bass & Julia Watt-Drums) powers behind the incredible guitar of Liz Sedman (one of the most amazing chick guitarists around) topped off with the funky/soul diva Jane Willison on vocals. It’s a sound that makes you want to put on a unitard and rollerskates and shake your stuff all night long. It feels so good it’s got to be bad, you dig?

Hi All,

A good friend of the bar and local Tiki connoisseur known as the “Careless Navigator” is organising a get-together for Melbournian Tikiphiles and Polynesiacs at none other than our humble bar in Richmond. If you’re one of the Clan, we’d like to extend the invitation on Careless Navigator’s behalf to join these good folk for a Mai Tai or two!

The details are -
Time: 7pm onwards
Date: Saturday May 8th 2010
Attire: Beachcomber casual (aloha-wear optional)

Here’s a handy Facebook Event link!

The Navigator is one of Australia’s movers and shakers when it comes to Tiki Culture and runs a fantabulous Tiki website with an Australian flavour at www.carelessnavigator.com. One need only spend a few moments on his site to see CN’s hardcore Tiki credentials – He’s in with Tiki luminaries such as Marcus Thorn, Martin Cate, Our mate Koop Kooper from the Cocktail Nation Podcast, Beachbum Berry and the good folk from Tiki Farm. The site is full of awesome Tiki stuff and well worth a bookmark or RSS subscription!

Hope to see heaps of fellow Tiki tragics turn up – we know you’re out there…

This Saturday 24th April Our good friends North Carolina make a long awaited return to the Tiki Bar, with their mighty  brand of original and rare grooves and funky soul. With an emphasis on dirty, low down, booty shaking funk, their tight rhythm section will have you dancing before you know it.

The nights entertainment continues from early till late with our new DJ Ben spinning vinyl exotica  and lounge ….  

The “Skulls of Doom”, the “Doomettes”, and “Dead Gorgeous Betty” making appearances at the haunted Tiki Bar this Saturday at 10.00pm.

The ongoing adventures of “The Dry Martinis”  as they embark on a quest seen through the vaudeville-noir tinted spectacles of the tragically glamorous .

Finding themeselves out of work, and driven by a martini fueled compulsion to find the perfect bar, our protagonists Shanghai Lil and Hurricane Harry, dance, fly, glide, slide and of course stumble their way through this adventure yarn, facing danger, death, the supernatural, and even sobriety(!)

On Saturday they stumble into a haunted Tiki Bar!

The Skulls of DOOM

Hi all,

Good friend of the bar and international cocktail evangelist Angus Winchester recently presented a talk at Tales of the Cocktail and the Museum of the American Cocktail concerning the list of bars that one should see before kicking the bucket.

The list was about 71 strong and can be found on the New York Times website.  We were delighted and humbled to see that good old Tiki Lounge and Bar was one of five Australian Bars that made it on to the list.  We’re in some great company sitting alongside Melbourne cocktail institutions 1806 and Der Raum.

Be sure to check out the list!

Cheers,

Kev
