Last Nights of Thatch

We were pretty sad to hear that Thatch Tiki Bar was going to be closing their doors forever in May, 2012. We knew it had been up for sale and there was the possibility that this would happen, but we didn't want to think about it. We had spent so many good times there and had some many memories throughout our relationship there. But, it did happen. As a result, we made sure to hit up Thatch with friends a couple times their last week open.

First, we headed over there after the fashion show we were in at Trader Vic's with our friend Angie. We ordered a couple rounds of drinks, had some pupus and enjoyed our time while reliving many of the great times we had in the past at Thatch. We also said our good-byes to many staff and one of the owners.

The owner told us to take a menu with us as a memento.

We hadn't planned on it, but realized we wanted to go back to Thatch one more time before it closed and decided to do so the very last night that they were open. The hut in the back was reserved for us and many more friends joined us for one last toast to Thatch. It was the perfect way to say good-bye to a favorite hang-out.

One last Mai Tai at Thatch.

Jon was impressed with how much slicked pork they gave us.
They said they needed to get rid of it since it was their last night open.
