That's what I am indulging in as we speak, at a hot tub bar. Life is good. Soon I will be asking for heartburn as I order off the menu of an Indian restaurant I will be eating at in the next hour. Man, I really live well. That's all.
Where in the HELL do you get a Mai Tai for $1.75? Especially in Honolulu? I used to work in Honolulu, it's pretty expensive. We used to have beers before work in a little dive, I think it was on King Street in the bad part of downtown. $2 beers, a 3 or 4 of those before work, and it makes the night go so much better.
They'd still make a profit if they used the cheapest alcohol possible. Which is probably what they're doing.
In Waikiki of all places right on Kalakaua. Have you been to the Maile Sky Court Hotel? They have a cool little dive bar on the 5th floor with a huge ass hottub. They definitely have the cheapest drinks in Waikiki, if not the whole island. $2 pbr, killer bloody marys, and of course $1.75 Mai Tais and Blue Hawaii's
Yeah, everything is cheap, but I went to the Hilton Hawaiian Village before the mentioned Indian dinner and had a $11 Mai Tai. They were comparable.
