Aloha!

The Mai-Kai in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is 53 years old today. A lot has changed since 1956 and the open spaces around the restaurant are gone, but this is still one of the few places in the world where you can get a proper, classic tiki drink in the appropriate setting.

The Moai prefer the Molokai bar during happy hour, of course.

Be sure to visit the Mai-Kai if you are traveling in Florida.

But also be sure to support your local tiki bar!

Keep the torches burning,
