Hawaiian drinks

A few months ago I bought a Groupon to Hala Kahiki, a Hawaiian bar that Andy and I have driven past for years but never had an occasion to stop in. The Groupon was going to expire in a week or so and we were having a difficult time finding a night that we could go use it. L was over at a friend's house yesterday afternoon and E and B were home with friends, so we took a couple of hours to ourselves to use the Groupon before it expired. The bar is decorated tiki/Hawaiian style (though I didn't see anything like it in Hawaii), the drink menu is huge and the only food in sight was chips and salsa. We had sweet potato chips with pineapple salsa.

This was our first round of drinks. Andy had a Harpoon and I had a Hawaiian Caress (rum, cherry brandy and pineapple flavoring). We sat by the garden which looked really nice, but it was a little warm so we opted for the air-conditioning.

Andy's second drink of the night was a Scratch Me Lani (a spicy drink with rum and Grand Marnier) and I had a chocolate shake with rum and banana. We both agreed round two was tastier than round one. The Groupon cost us $15 for $30 worth of food and drinks so our bill at the end was $3.75. We thought it would be a nice place to take a group of friends who wouldn't mind tasting each other's drinks.
