FINAL TRANSMISSION FROM THE BRIDGE ⛵🔥

DING-DONG.

Attention all remaining degenerates.

This is your final Sunday transmission.

The Rib Cook-Off crowd has eaten.

The concerts are underway.

The Burners are preparing to crawl back from the desert.

And tomorrow is Labor Day, which means many of you have been granted one additional day to avoid becoming productive members of society.

Use it wisely.

SIN Night is underway.

Yacht Rock remains dangerously smooth.

And if you’ve reached this hour still wondering what to drink…

Order a Royal Hawaiian

A blend of gin, pineapple, lemon, and orgeat.

Because you’ve survived another week.

You deserve the good rum.

All remaining passengers: report to the bar.

SINNERS, REPORT TO THE CORRECT SIDE OF THE BAR 🔥🍹

DING-DONG.

This is your captain speaking.

Yacht Rock continues, but control of the vessel has officially been transferred to the SERVICE INDUSTRY.

SIN NIGHT STARTS NOW.

Bartenders.

Servers.

Cooks.

Hosts.

Dishwashers.

Barbacks.

Managers currently hiding from their own employees.

Your weekend was spent making sure everybody else had a good time.

Now sit down.

Try a Port Light.

Bourbon, tropical flavor and absolutely nobody asking whether the kitchen can make something that’s simultaneously vegan, keto, gluten-free and “not too vegetable-y.”

Welcome aboard, sinners.

You’ve earned shore leave.

ROUGH SEAS AHEAD 🧟‍♂️⚓

DING-DONG.

The bridge has received reports that Powerman 5000 is playing at 7 and Queensrÿche & Slaughter hit GSR at 8.

Apparently Renoville has chosen violence.

Meanwhile aboard Pele Utu:

Christopher Cross.

Toto.

Steely Dan.

Michael McDonald.

Our most aggressive maneuver tonight will be ordering a Zombie.

Choose your Sunday adventure.

Heavy metal and Powerman 5000…

Or a dark tiki bar where a magnificently bearded man keeps asking you to believe a fool.

Both perfectly reasonable.

THE TEMPTATIONS ARE IN TOWN 🎶🍹

Attention passengers:

The Temptations play Renoville tonight at 6 PM.

Fine choice.

But aboard the S.S. Pele Utu, we’ve been dealing with temptation all afternoon.

Zombie?

Tempting.

Mai Tai?

Very tempting.

Cobra’s Fang?

Dangerously tempting.

“Maybe I’ll just have one…”

Now that’s simply poor navigation.

See The Temptations.

Then follow your own temptations somewhere tropical.

We’ll leave the torches on.

NOW HEAR THIS, PASSENGERS ⛵🍹

DING-DONG.

Welcome aboard the S.S. Pele Utu for YACHT ROCK SUNDAY.

Renoville has apparently misplaced summer today, so the captain has ordered the windows secured, the rum opened and Michael McDonald deployed immediately.

Today’s recommended flotation device:

THE SKIPPER MAI TAI.

Our house Mai Tai. Rum-forward, tropical and considerably more useful than anything located beneath your airline seat.

The seas are smooth.

The drinks are cold.

And the captain has turned off the Give a Damn sign.

You may now move freely about the cabin.

DRINK AROUND THE ISLAND 🗺️🍹

Attention explorers.

For those brave souls determined to chart the entire Pele Utu cocktail menu, we have PASSPORTS to track your voyage around the island.

Try the drinks.

Collect your progress.

Eventually complete your expedition and receive a prize proving that your dedication to tropical cocktails has finally accomplished something tangible.

One important note:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FINISH THE PASSPORT IN ONE DAY.

This is an exploration.

Not a speed run.

Magellan took three years to circumnavigate the globe, and the bastard didn’t have Zombies along the way.

Take your time.

Explore the menu.

Try something new each visit.

The island isn’t going anywhere.

CHOOSE YOUR MAI TAI 🍹🗿

At Pele Utu, asking for “a Mai Tai” requires a follow-up question.

⚓ SKIPPER MAI TAI
Our house original. The trusty vessel that’s carried thousands of thirsty souls into tropical waters.

🗿 TRADER VIC’S 1944 MAI TAI
The classic. Rum, lime, curaçao, orgeat and sugar. No pineapple-orange fruit salad masquerading as history.

👑 MAI TAI ROA A’E
Our premier Mai Tai, built around a house blend of aged rums for the adventurous bastard who wants to see just how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Can’t decide?

It’s a long weekend.

You’ve got time.

RUM. PICK YOUR POISON, PIRATE. 🥃🏴‍☠️

See all those rum bottles behind the bar?

They’re not decorations.

Pick something interesting and we’ll pour it:

🥃 As a shot
🌴 Neat
🧊 On the rocks
🍋 Ti’ Punch
🍸 Daiquiri

Because good rum doesn’t need six juices and a flaming pineapple to prove itself.

Sometimes all you need is rum, lime and sugar.

And sometimes you just need rum.

Ask us what’s interesting.

We’ll happily send you down another expensive hobby.

DRINKING ALONE IS FINE. BOWLS REQUIRE FRIENDS. 🔥🍹

Got a crew?

Then quit ordering individual drinks like a bunch of antisocial barnacles.

ORDER A BOWL.

Big.

Tropical.

Made for sharing.

And if you order the Volcano Bowl, everybody gets lei’d.

Yes.

Everybody.

It’s considerably cheaper than Hawaii and requires far less explaining to your spouse.

Gather the Ohana, grab some straws and make poor decisions communally.

That’s what friendship is for.

THE LONG WEEKEND IS UNDERWAY 🌴🍹

There she blows, ya three-day-weekend degenerates.

The long weekend is officially underway, which means Monday has temporarily lost jurisdiction.

No alarm clocks.

No spreadsheets.

No pretending you saw that email.

Just a tropical sunset, cold drinks and the comforting realization that Tuesday-you can deal with the consequences.

Drop anchor at Pele Utu, Renoville’s Only Traditional Tiki Bar.

Paradise is considerably closer than the airport.
