Located at 1304 Lincoln Ave, Forbidden Island is a beloved throwback to the great mid-century Tiki Bars. Co-Founder and Owner Michael Thanos sat down with host Scott Piehler to discuss the journey that led to Forbidden Island being at the center of the Tiki Revival.
Tiki Bars started in California, and Michael shares that history, as well as how long it takes to join The Kill Devil Club, for those who have sampled the 100+ rums offered at Forbidden Island. Also-you'll find out the connection between Jello Biafra and Forbidden Island!
This show was first broadcast 9/21/25 on 91.1 KCSM-HD2. It was originally intended to be the premiere episode on 9/14/25, but a technical error led to this episode being moved to week #2.
