Mai-Kai
3599 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, 954/563-3272
This Polynesian supper club has been providing an escape from reality since 1956
with its South Pacific palm-and-bamboo décor and fire-breathing floorshow.
Enjoying a renaissance as the lowbrow art and tiki revival movements explode across
the country, the Mai-Kai is now considered the ultimate shrine to tiki culture,
packed with college-age devotees whose prayer book is the venue’s menu of
51 tropical drinks, including such originals as the Moonkist Coconut, Zula, Shark
Bite and 151 Swizzle, all registered trademarks. Three Barrels o’ Rum and
your friends will be rolling you out in one. And patrons who aren’t afraid
of flying can strap on a Jet Pilot, a vigorous blend of heavy-bodied rums and
zesty juices.
Is
your favorite place to eat safe?
