KANALOA OPENS
The City is about to have its first tiki bar in the form of Kanaloa, which “draws many of its influences from those distant Polynesian shores.” If you’ve been to its sister bar Mahiki, you’ll know the type of thing. If not, expect tacky but fun Polynesian-style decor, a Beach Boys soundtrack, flamboyant cocktails and a work-hard play-hard City crowd. Opens 12 Nov, 18 Lime Office Court, Hill House, Shoe Lane, EC4A 3BQ, www.kanaloaclub.com.
