'Sneaky Tiki' bar proposed for 209 S. Baylen
Summary
A new tiki-themed bar with a hidden courtyard, food truck area, and extensive landscaping is planned just off Palafox, behind a contributing building. The board loved the hidden-courtyard concept but wants a more subdued, New Orleans-style entrance — and signaled openness to demolishing more of the non-contributing rear structure.
