FAR OUT, MAN! THE SUN’S GONE DOWN, BUT THE SURF’S STILL UP!

Somewhere in Hawaii, the moon is rising over Waikiki.

Somewhere in California, a surfer is still trying to explain why he hasn’t had a job since 1967.

And somewhere in Renoville, a perfectly good Wednesday is being wasted watching television in sweatpants.

Tragic, daddy-o. Absolutely tragic.

Meanwhile, beneath the torches at Pele Utu, there’s still time to catch the last wave.

WIPEOUT WEDNESDAY RIDES UNTIL 11 PM!

Pay with cash and enjoy Pau Hana pricing on eligible menu items right up until closing.

Perhaps a SKIPPER MAI TAI, inspired by the legendary Skipper Scott of Ventura’s VenTiki?

Or a BLUE HAWAII, for those who prefer their tropical adventures with a little more Elvis and a lot less sand in their shorts.

Tomorrow, LEE JONES RETURNS AT 8 PM for Tiki Trader Thursday and an evening of mug and swizzle trading with the Ohana.

But tonight belongs to the beach bums.

HANG TEN. SIP ONE. WIPE OUT RESPONSIBLY.

HEY, SURF CATS! GOT A MINUTE FOR A LITTLE ISLAND GOSSIP?

There’s this kid from Oahu.

Started playing ukulele at ten, picked up a guitar at thirteen, and somehow turned a perfectly respectable Hawaiian childhood into decades of wandering around the planet playing music.

Name’s LEE JONES.

Think Don Ho charm, a little Elvis in Blue Hawaii, some Iz-style island soul, and enough musical experience to make your record collection feel inadequate.

He’s even got a little Hawaiian cowboy in him, but don’t worry, we make him leave the horse outside.

TOMORROW NIGHT: TIKI TRADER THURSDAY!

Lee Jones plays live at 8 PM while the Northern Nevada Ohana gathers to trade tiki mugs and swizzle sticks.

Collectors trading with collectors. No selling, just good company and interesting treasures.

Tonight?

We’re still riding the WipeOut Wednesday wave.

How about a ROYAL HAWAIIAN?

A gin-and-pineapple beauty with enough Waikiki sophistication to make a beach bum consider wearing shoes.

TONIGHT WE HANG TEN. TOMORROW WE STRUM SOME.

HEY, BEACH BUNNIES! EVER HAD A LITTLE LAVA FLOW DOWN YOUR FRONT?

Easy there, Romeo. We’re talking about a cocktail.

PELE’S LAVA FLOW!

Imagine a cool, creamy Piña Colada relaxing on a Hawaiian beach, minding its own business.

Suddenly, along comes a hot little number named Madam Pele.

Next thing you know, there’s strawberry-habanero lava running everywhere.

Sweet coconut.
Tropical pineapple.
A little volcanic heat.

COOL AT FIRST. THEN THINGS GET STEAMY.

And because it’s WipeOut Wednesday, that delicious little eruption is part of our all-day Pau Hana when paying cash.

The regular 4–6 PM Pau Hana wave is ending, but the cash wave keeps rolling until 11.

SOME LIKE IT HOT. WE LIKE IT HOT AND TROPICAL.

ATTENTION, SURFERS! THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL RENOVILLE BEACH REPORT!

Lake Tahoe remains approximately 6,225 feet above sea level.

The nearest respectable ocean is several hundred miles away.

And the local surf scene continues to suffer from a severe shortage of actual surfing.

Bummer, man.

But down at Pele Utu, we’ve got a swell that never breaks.

THE PAU HANA PIPELINE!

Cash? You’re riding that wave all day.

Cards? You’re officially in the lineup from 4–6 PM.

And for those who like their tropical adventures a little more dangerous, there’s the KONA KOOLER.

A genuine Pele Utu original, created for Tiki Oasis back in 2013.

It’s been making waves longer than some of these young beach bums have been shaving.

Outside, October’s doing its autumn thing.

Inside, it’s permanently August 1962.

NO WETSUIT REQUIRED. PANTS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED.

RIGHTEOUS WAVES, DADDY-O! HAVE YOU SEEN THE CHI CHIS AROUND HERE?

Before you get yourself slapped, we’re talking cocktails.

The CHI CHI, that beautiful beachside cousin of the Piña Colada.

Vodka, pineapple and coconut, blended into a creamy tropical dream that’s smoother than a Waikiki lounge singer working the honeymoon crowd.

It’s cold.
It’s creamy.
It’s got a magnificent body.

And unlike your last summer romance, it won’t steal your favorite Hawaiian shirt.

Better yet, it’s WIPEOUT WEDNESDAY!

Cash-paying beachcombers enjoy Pau Hana pricing all day on eligible menu items.

Plastic fantastic? Your wave arrives from 4–6 PM.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON WITH YOUR CHI CHI.

HEEEEY, KAHUNAS! THE WEDNESDAY SWELL JUST ROLLED IN!

Grab your boards, wax your wallets, and paddle toward Stardust Street, because it’s WIPEOUT WEDNESDAY at Pele Utu!

Here’s the deal, beach bums.

PAY WITH CASH AND IT’S PAU HANA ALL DAY!

That’s $2 off eligible menu cocktails from 2 PM until we close at 11!

Paying with plastic? No wipeout, daddy-o. Regular Pau Hana still runs 4–6 PM.

And speaking of getting wet, today’s surf report from Lake Tahoe?

Well, let’s just say we’re not expecting the Banzai Pipeline to relocate to Incline Village.

Fortunately, our BLUE HAWAII comes with considerably better tropical conditions.

Rum, vodka, blue curaçao, pineapple and enough island attitude to make Elvis loosen his hips.

THE WATER’S FINE. THE RUM’S FINER.

ATTENTION, ALL YOU MAGNIFICENT DEGENERATES!

Saturday night is in full swing, and somewhere in Renoville, somebody is drinking a vodka soda under fluorescent lights while watching a football game they don’t understand.

Poor bastards.

Meanwhile, at Pele Utu, the torches are glowing, the tikis are watching, and the BEACHCOMBER’S DOWNFALL is making a very convincing argument for staying a little longer.

Rum, peach liqueur, mint, lime, and pineapple.

Sweet enough to charm you. Strong enough to remind you who’s in charge.

And if Saturday leaves you needing a gentler approach to civilization, tomorrow we’ve got YACHT ROCK SUNDAY all day and SIN NIGHT AFTER 8 PM.

Because a proper sailor knows that Saturday’s sins deserve Sunday’s smooth soundtrack.

We’re open until 11 PM.

Come on in.

We’ve got rum, we’ve got atmosphere, and unlike your ex, we’re delighted to see you.

Some people have a thing for big fish. Others prefer a little puffer.

Here at Pele Utu, we’re rather proud of ours.

Meet the HUKILAU JIM.

Our original gin-and-dark-rum concoction, served in a magnificent Fugu pufferfish mug with a face only a mother could love.

This little bastard has been responsible for more than 4,000 happy encounters since we opened.

He’s round. He’s prickly. He’s got a strange little mouth.

And people keep coming back for more.

Proof that personality matters more than size.

Although, judging by the number of people photographing him, he’s clearly got something worth showing off.

Gather round, ya salty degenerates. We need to discuss something delicate.

THE SIZE OF YOUR VESSEL.

Some folks prefer something small and elegant. Others want something enormous that requires both hands and a friend to help finish.

At Pele Utu, we don’t judge.

Our tropical bowls are built for sharing. Bring your sweetheart, your shipmates, or that attractive stranger who’s been making eyes at you across the bar.

Order a VOLCANO BOWL, and everybody gets lei’d.

It’s a beautiful tradition.

Just remember, the bowl is meant for sharing, ya animals.

And if you’re drinking alone, we’ve got plenty of individual cocktails for your one-handed recreational activities.

In 1934, a man named Donn Beach created a cocktail so potent he reportedly limited customers to two.

He called it the ZOMBIE.

Multiple rums. Citrus. Spices. Enough complexity to make a tax accountant weep.

And a reputation for leaving otherwise respectable people wondering why their underwear was hanging from a ceiling fan.

Now, we can’t promise that last part.

But we can promise a proper Zombie, made with the respect this legendary cocktail deserves.

Nearly a century later, it’s still getting people into trouble.

Two Zombies may not make you better looking, but they’ll certainly make your dance moves more interesting.

Come get bitten.
