Tiki Time Show

Michael Cobb spent almost 20 years at Disneyland, about 10 of them inside Club 33, and his favorite job there was at the long-gone Tahitian Terrace. On July 17, 2020 (Disneyland's birthday, in the middle of the shutdowns) he opened High Roller Tiki Lounge, a Vegas-style tiki lounge in the Danish village of Solvang. We sat down at the bar to talk about where the name came from, why his menu runs on wine cocktails, Disney's influence on the lounge, his exclusive tiki mugs and how they're made, his favorite tiki drink and tiki bar, and what's next for the High Roller.

Adrian Eustaquio has spent 9 years recording the stories of the tiki world on his podcast and vlog, Inside the Desert Oasis Room, recorded at the bar in his own home. We sat down with him there to talk about how a 1980s visit to Don the Beachcomber hooked him for life, why Tiki-Ti is his favorite bar (and why that's different from the best), Ray's Mistake, the one-of-two Cobra's Fang mug Mike Buhen Sr. gave him one Christmas, getting his shrunken head, and why he records everything as a time capsule for future generations.
