In addition, an educational and entertaining seminar on Tiki Culture and the significance of Rum will start at 4PM hosted by Martin Cate of Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco. Smuggler’s Cove is rated as one of the ‘World’s 50 Best Bars‘. Mr. Cate’s Seminar is only $15 with limited seating available day of event.
The location is perfect, as the newly renovated Postcard Inn has been decorated and designed in a retro surfer theme on one of the Gulf Coast’s best beaches.
Originally built in 1957 as the Colonial Gateway Inn, the Postcard Inn is a 204-room, two-story, U-shaped motel with a large pool that is lined by a grove of mature royal palms. It became a Travelodge in 1999 , but this latest incarnation represents a new wave of stylish, affordable beach hotels and the ideal place for this Sunset Tiki Party and a celebration of the subculture of the 40′s and 50′s Cocktail Culture.
