SpongeBob Animation Director's Home Tiki Bar [and a 1930's tropical cocktail]

[@cheyfran]

The little details are incredible. I feel like the SoCal tiki community shares a special nostalgia; whether it be vintage bars, Palm Springs, or even Disney, we can appreciate and understand each other’s approach to the culture.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

I totally agree :)

[@FK-we1dp]

its almost sad looking back on pre 1960s America through this anthropological cocktail stuff. Even California was nice and full of white people.

[@ligeiaztomb2755]

Who made the physical bar itself? That is gorgeous

[@cynthiastinson7059]

Thanks! His bar is amazing.

[@thedoctor755]

Here I am, discovering more videos I haven't seen :) Cocoanut Grove fun tie-in: for a few years about a decade ago, I ran a mid-century lounge night at one of our best punk/music dives here in Indy, the Melody Inn. We always had a live band... anything from swanky lounge, 60's tiki, NOLA jazz, etc, etc, and I also had a long playlist of mid-century stuff (crooners, tiki, jazz, big band) I played between sets. I was inspired to call the night "Cocoanut Grove" after seeing the movie The Aviator and reading up on the history of the Hollywood club. I wore a tux as MC. Great times :)

[@robinthe8057]

I'd love to see an in depth tour of his tiki bar, like you did with the Breezeway. It looks amazing, it's also a reminder that my thoughts of converting my garage into a tiki bar would just label me as a fraud haha.

[@broadbeach181]

This is insane!! I use to have a photo of this bar, that I used as the desktop on my lap top. I never knew the who or where but loved it. Thanks for educating me Spike!!

[@TheHomeBartenderwithAnn]

Fun nostalgia! I to love mid century and tiki! Just recently found the channel! Super fun! Mahalo!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thanks!

[@Succumbed2Rum]

The menu is next level!! I've been planning on myself but I hadn't thought of the leather holder. Love it! Another killer episode.

[@aSuspiciousPete]

Heeeey I've this tikibar photo as a wallpaper on my laptop for 10 years! Never knew where it was from.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Crazy!

[@maitaioneon]

I've never seen that diver's helmet ice bucket either. Wow! Incredible. I want one, now. Damn.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

I know, right??

[@michaelkieran1566]

Wow so glad I found this!! Thanks .. I’m in the process of building my Tiki bar .. definitely inspired by Palm Springs/ Disneyland/Polynesian.. and SHAG of course!! Can’t wait to watch all your Vids👍👍🍺

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thanks! Enjoy!!

[@echoislandtiki]

Great show!! Alan and Michael are such great people and Hale Kahiki is the BEST! Thanks for this one guys :)

[@Nearsighted_Pictures]

So Cool! Great episode. Home Tiki Bar goals forsure! Working on Spongebob must have had a weekly excuse for the staff to hang at a local tiki bars... y'know strictly for research hahaha

[@surfrat8884]

Wow that bar is incredible

[@beachcombertikitony]

OMG! Of coarse humble Alan does't brag about his career!!! Love the show! Great job Spike and Alan!!! Love the footage at the end of the bar too!!

[@FineAndHappySight]

Hope you’re planning a part two. There’s so much more here I’d love to know and see. Great episode as always. You really know how to bring it!

[@billdicarlo1340]

Great episode, thank you! The montage at the end was really neat.

[@thebuffbeatnik8848]

I’ve been subscribed since the beginning, your videos are doing great! :) good work!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thank you so much, Larry!

[@michaelvandewalle8843]

That’s the bar of my dreams! Aloha from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@georgeborcherding6157]

Awesome episode. Alan and Michael, thanks for opening up your wonderful home tiki bar. Spike, great job

[@eatmusic16]

Great episode as always! Definitely a favorite so far! What a cool place!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thank you!

[@BobbyDoran]

Awesome as usual!

[@littlegiles]

great video and that bar is the stuff my dreams are made of.

[@jameslopez6589]

I like the branded napkins and menu. Way to go all out!

[@josephwatts2904]

Just…….amazing! I really like that the man is quite humble and it’s good to see people like him live out his dreams! Another banger of an episode Spike!

[@doubleT84]

31:18 He's right, your comedic timing is a talent!

[@chunkymurps]

Fortunate enough to have visited that bar. It's not huge but it truly is amazing.

[@SlacksFerret]

Great episode. What a fantastic home bar. I have so many questions I want to ask Allan (but he seems like a man who wants to conserve his words).

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Haha... yes, a man of few words... But always well placed and intelligent words.

[@Nightdiver20]

There was an "Aloha From Bikini Bottom" SpongeBob rug in the garage when I bought my house. It's still there today, always makes me smile

[@ken_tiki5241]

Cool ep! 👍

[@mmeiselph7234]

Allan's shirt rocks.

[@lromasz]

So fun!!

[@zincorbie]

Awesome idea. You should feature more home bars since we can’t actually go to many.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

You got it.

[@FK-we1dp]

how does that serve two? two ounces of light rum :(

[@ligeiaztomb2755]

Also the lighting is perfect and I imagine that took a lot of time to balance correctly.

[@jimmarren1642]

Would love to get a closer look at that menu. Definitely a project I need to take on

[@dvldogusmc2000]

Now I know why the Spongebob is rad!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Hahaha... I LITERALLY just packed your order!

[@dvldogusmc2000]

@@BreezewayCocktailHour Rad!! Sipping on a Cocoanut Grove right now!

[@JuJu-bs7ks]

man, how to find this volcano fire pot ? great show, love your channel 🤙🏿

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thanks! Yeah, I love that thing too...! I want one.

[@haptown]

Super cool! I really like that Skippers cap. Where’d you get it?

[@robertsteer9260]

Awesome!!! :)

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thanks, Robert

[@GianniBuroni]

That diving helmet ice bucket is so cool. I had no idea such a thing existed. Now I have to get one...

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

I know, right??

[@pk12348]

Sadly that Caña Brava is discontinued. Enjoyed the show. Great historical background as always.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Is it really?? I have about half a bottle left of it! 😳

[@henrysavage3992]

My band has a tiki bar on stage and we have one of those ice buckets. We have NOTHING at all to do with Tiki, but the bartender sings backup and books all the shows. Haha.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Hahaha... What's your band called??

[@jmgarcia61]

One of the best episodes ever!

[@cynthiastinson7059]

I am such a fan girl. Any chance you would know where he got the volcano?

[@smokeytiki3185]

Tiki Tony made the volcano.

[@tonyvenegas5712]

Matt, Wow. This was good.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thanks, Tony!

[@scottgoyette3154]

I second an in depth tour of this bar would be amazing

[@mikem4432]

I like Tiki because when I was young my parents use to take us to a tiny little hole in the wall Tiki Restaurant that had Polynesian look and food menu, and I just thought it was so different, pirate like, special even though I was way too young to drink.. it reminds me of those times.

[@JohnKelly2]

As the episode ended, I realized I have everything for the drink already! That's the first one. To the blender!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Yes!!

[@nickmorton8998]

Hale Kahiki!! 🔥 🗿🤙 “So Rad”- official slogan of Spike’s Breezeway Cocktail Hour..should be on the shirts...just sayin’ 🤷‍♂️😬

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Hahahaha... I spent 15 years designing in the surf industry. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nickmorton8998]

The Hula Girls I love it! As a kid growing up in OC in the 80s it’s a go to for me, as well! Everything is rad or bitchin’ to me! My kids love it! 🙄😂

[@darrenandtinasale1502]

Thanks so much for my Zombie glasses and T shirt! They made it across the pond to the UK! Now I can drink my Zombies in the correct glass. What an amazing bar! Could Tiki Tony be an upcoming guest? Hope so .

[@ericchacon225]

I think punk rock works, I segued into the world of nostalgia through Social Distortion and Mike Ness 🤘🏽

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

That's probably true for me too... that's how I found Deke, from a Mike Ness solo tour.

[@jonperry2215]

SO RAD! What was the fuel for the volcano?

[@UnderMyPalm]

Aloha, was there no mention of La Mariana or did I miss something?

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

In what context? I loooove La Mariana.

[@UnderMyPalm]

@@BreezewayCocktailHour I'm just shocked La Mariana was not credited as an inspiration. This video made me miss it so much.

[@tankbuggeru]

Pukeberg should sound something like "Puh-keh-berr", I think.

[@Enterred]

Does anyone know the name of the style of hat the host is wearing is called?

[@ampdo77]

My new Spike’s Breezeway Cocktail hour t-shirt is legit

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thanks for ordering one!!

[@ligeiaztomb2755]

I just looked up the diver helmet ice bucket....they are not rare but they ARE expensive. Head's up (no pun intended)
