I can't say enough about this bar. Smith St. seems to have a new bar opening every other week and most don't seem to add much to the strip. Tiki Hut, however, is a welcome and novel addition. While small, the decoration is first-rate ersatz Polynesian. The specialty drinks are tasty and inexpensive (and the Tiki decor makes it OK for straight men to suck down mai tais all night). To boot, the owner seems to have great taste in music. Tuesday appears to be music night and the small ensembles have been great the last two times I was there. No kitchen, but the friendly bartenders constantly replenish the bowls of cheddar and pretzel goldfish. The Scorpion bowl for two is great for a date (I'd recommend buying the one for four, as it goes quickly). If you're on Smith St. and enjoy ambiance, definitely check this place out.
