Is there a tiki bar in Columbus since the Kahiki was destroyed?

the drinks are the responsibility of our mysterious blue fezzed organization (thizzzizzzzzzzz)

which i think is a good bet since we have close ties with some pretty old skool tiki mixiologists 8)
friday nite we have a full blown luau complete with mystery bowls brought in by a mystery girl. ooooooo.

the people who worked at the kahiki started a new, much smaller tiki restaurant called the tropical bistro, serving the same food and drinks, but they closed this year :(

so we are turning a pirate bar into a tiki bar for two nights.

our mysterious blue fezzed organization (thizzzizzzzzzzz) owns alot of the old stuff from the kahiki. that's kind of our theme.

hell, i'll just cross post the entire description from my blogge:
