A sign outside the famed Tiki-Ti bar in Silver Lake was cause for concern: "CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE."
But Tiki-Ti's website promises the shutdown is only temporary. The tiki bar's pipes had to be replaced, forcing its owners to rip up its concrete floor. Tiki-Ti should reopen within the next few weeks.
Good to hear. The tiny bar -- no bigger than your average living room -- remains one of those quirky holdovers from a time when "tiki culture" -- specifically, sweet rum-based drinks -- were all the rage.
Tiki Ti is located at 4427 Sunset Blvd., next to KCET's studios, and down the street from the Rudy's Barbershop in Silver Lake. The place is quirky: Cash only, tropical drinks only (no beer/wine) and smoking is allowed (the place has no employees). Tiki-Ti is open from 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
