Tiki in Colorado!

 Denver, CO

Adrift Tiki Bar in Denver, CO., our 35th Tiki Bar.  We have also been to Tiki Bars in 9 States, 1 Province, and 2 Countries so far.

All that Broadway has to offer

Our Airbnb is about a half a mile from South Broadway (SoBo), the go to street in our neighborhood.  SoBo is filled with shops, bars, restaurants, music venues, and other fine establishments.  In the early afternoon we walked to SoBo and went to the Goodwill there.  We both have enjoyed thrift store shopping since we were young and it has continued into our retirement.  We are shopping for different things now (I used to collect video games and had a GIANT collection), but the hunt is still just as fun. These days we mostly look for practical clothing that fits our current nomadic lifestyle and camping equipment we have figured out we need.  Today we found a few of those items including a new cheese grater, a vegetable peeler (neither of our Airbnbs have had a peeler), a new (to me) Tiki Shirt, and a few great pieces of clothing for Donna.  


I'm not the best selfie photographer (they didn't have selfie classes when I was in school taking photography) so just look at the shirt!

I also search the T-Shirts for Brewery T-Shirts.  I took a photo of this shirt from one of our favorites in Seattle. I didn't buy it because it was a small.

The Game Room that was

These are old photos from the game room in our house in Orange

I have since sold the entire collection

We headed back to our Airbnb after our thrift store score and relaxed until it was time to head back to SoBo to go to Adrift Tiki Bar!  You may have noticed that we like going to Tiki Bars.  I keep track of the ones that we have been to and would love to go to one in every state.  There are some states like Utah that don't appear to have a Tiki Bar yet but we are still young and full of hope.  

We walked by a Scooter shop on South Broadway

We arrived 15 minutes before opening and there wasn't a line.  Many of the other Tiki Bars we go to have a line at opening.

We got dressed for the occasion and I wore my new shirt!

Proof!

She fits right in!  The Tiki was way too tall for proper photos.

There they are!

Not the most garishly decorated Tiki Bar but still cool

The bar tender moved quickly into my shot

They had a nice mural with an unfortunate loadbearing support in front of it. 

Donna's Drink

My Drink

Their Citrus Bowl was very cool

Our Spam Musubi was delicious

Happy Times!

The scariest skull of all, a skull with TEETH!

It was happy hour so we also got some non-photogenic snacks to go with our drinks.  It was a good Tiki Bar.  The staff was attentive and friendly, the prices were reasonable, and the space was large.  Most people were there for the dinner.  They had a nice selection of food including a Tomahawk Steak.  

When we got home we continued watching Season 1 of "For All Humanity" on Apple+.  It's a really great show.

We went to a free museum yesterday.  See the photos here.
