Worth the Upgrade
So you already have a no doubt well-worn copy of the first edition of "TRT" and you're wondering if it's worth buying this new one?
Yes. Get it.
Sure, you've got the expected updates to the fast-changing world of
tiki
, along with more of the tell-it-like-it-is reviews that were the first edition's trademark.
But Teitelbaum has also expanded the historical information about locations that are no longer with us. And there seem to be more photos and other "urban archaeological" tidbits sprinkled throughout, giving it more of the flavor of Sven Kirsten's "Book of Tiki". These are welcome improvements, and it makes this edition just as suited for armchair reading as it is for actual
trip
planning.
Maps, perhaps one at the beginning of each state's section, would've been nice. Many of these tiki spots are in the suburbs, which can make it difficult to tell what's near the particular city you're visiting if you're not familiar with the names of the surrounding towns. But that's not enough of a quibble to detract from a solid, five-star rating.

THE resource for Tiki Bars
If you like
Tiki
, then you love a Tiki Bar and tropical cocktails with the South Pacific ambience. This book tells you where they're all located. Around the world, even. If you travel a bit, you probably should keep it with you. As a Tiki Bar resource, it can't be beat.

The essential guide to Tiki Bars of America (and worldwide)
Sure, this needs an updated edition, but the Internet can help fill in the newer information. If you're looking for an old
Tiki
Bar, or the remains of one, or a retro-Tiki establishment on the highways and in town, this is your
guide
. Drink reviews, comments on the food, and measures of the Tiki factors are all here. If you've ever driven into Rapid City late at night and wondered if you could find a good Zombie, you didn't have this book with you.

Great book to include in all your retro vacation planning
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have used the reviews while on several different
trip
s, to Las Vegas, San Diego, and in Southern California. A lot of this info could not be found elsewhere!
A word of advice to lucky purchasers of this book however--do double check, call ahead, and make sure your destination still exists! I have made several blunders as well assuming that a place was open for lunch when many are nightspots only.
That said, a great
guide
(and check out the inside of the Hanalei/Red Lion Hotel in San Diego--the bartenders make a mean scorpion in a nifty souvenier bowl!!)

From Tiki godfathers such as Edgar Leeteg and Don the Beachcomber to contemporary Tiki artists like Shag and Bosko, this resource covers all things Tiki in prose that is witty, entertaining, and essential for anyone who has ever stepped up to a bar, glanced up at the pufferfish hanging from the ceiling, and ordered a Singapore Sling. In addition to the exhaustive listings, recipes for classic cocktails, a glossary of Tiki terms, and resources for buying Tiki goods and artifacts are also included. Reminiscences of famous points of interest that have closed are provided for the completist, for historical perspective, and for those seeking information on the current status of a favorite Tiki site.
