Don't call it a comeback: after beloved Los Feliz watering hole Tiki-Ti "indefinitely closed" for "restructuring and stuff," the 54-year old tiki bar will be reopen for the weekend.On Wednesday afternoon Tiki-Ti's Facebook page posted a picture announcing the bar's "return to normalcy" on Friday, May 22. "We will be open from 4 p.m.-2 a.m. this Friday and Saturday, returning to our regular days and hours," the note continues.

And just in case you there remained skepticism in your mind, Vicky Buhen—whose father-in-law opened the bar in 1961—tells the L.A. Times, "We are definitely coming back Friday." I'll drink a mai tai to that!
