Tiki Ti, Tiki bar in Los Angeles, US.

Tiki Ti is a Polynesian-themed tiki bar at 4427 Sunset Boulevard in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles. Its narrow room holds a bar counter and a menu of 94 exotic drinks, many of them originals such as the Blood and Sand, Laka Nuki, Bayanihan, Bonnie & Clyde and Missionary's Downfall. The strongest drink is purported to be the Stealth, and a wheel lets patrons spin to choose.

Tiki-Ti opened on April 28, 1961, founded by Ray Buhen, a Filipino immigrant who had tended bar at another well-known tropical bar before starting his own. The only employees, Mike Sr. and Mike Jr. Buhen, are the founder's son and grandson and also the sole owners. The bar has stayed in the family and at 4427 Sunset Boulevard in Los Feliz since it opened.

The bar's name is chanted, not just its drinks: patrons shout "Toro, Toro, Toro" as the Blood and Sand is topped with tequila, a nod to the 1941 Tyrone Power bullfighting film, and yell "uga booga" while the Uga Booga is mixed. A spinning wheel lets the undecided pick among 94 exotic drinks, many of them house originals.

The tight seating means arriving early or going with a smaller group works best for a comfortable visit. Remember to bring cash, as this bar does not accept card payments.

The bar's only employees, Mike Sr. and Mike Jr. Buhen, are also its sole owners, being the son and grandson of founder Ray Buhen. The drink list runs to 94 exotic drinks, many of them originals, and the strongest is said to be the Stealth. Anyone unable to choose can spin a wheel to decide.
