Last fall, the Mai-Kai abruptly closed after a burst pipe in the restaurant s kitchen caused extensive flooding. The owners of the landmark Fort Lauderdale tiki bar vowed to reopen, issuing a statement that said, While we don t have a reopen date finalized, we will keep our loyal patrons up to date as soon as we have more information to share.
The restaurant made good on that promise, hosting several gatherings and events in its parking lot and maintaining a presence through its online store, where people can buy tiki mugs and posters.
Late yesterday, however, the Mai-Kai said in a statement that the iconic establishment is for sale.
