UPDATED: Tiki Bar, S.O.S., Replaces Paper Plane; Opens Today
Decatur Metro | November 6, 2015 | 7:20 am
You may have seen the signs. Lush planters and tiki torches. Or perhaps you were invited to one of the friends and family softish opening parties.
But there have been few hints online of any mention of new creation from the owners of Victory Brands that would replace Paper Plane, until yesterday, when the AJC’s Bob Townsend broke the silence, stating that S.O.S. will open to the public today at 6pm. Here are a few other details…
The cocktail menu ranges from such tiki standards as the Zombie and the Mai Tai to the likes of the boozy Reverend’s Fancy, with pineapple rum, reposado tequila and amaro, garnished with a swath of sweetened coconut pasted to the side of a rocks glass. There’s also a daily happy hour punch.
On the food menu, look for fried coconut shrimp with spicy pineapple, Tikiyaki sliders on Hawaiian rolls, jerk chicken wings, and Polynesian-style spare ribs.

And here’s a pic of the menu (and a Mai Tai!) that the city’s Catherine Lee posted on Instagram the other day…
Nothing like a delicious mai tai on a rainy evening #cheers #formerlypaperplane #decaturga
Sounds like a great change of pace!
I’m going to beat Lyrics Only Guy to the punch:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room
All the birds sing the words and the flowers croon
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room
“Tiki Tiki Room”
-Silly but addictive WDW attraction
Knock back enough and you’ll see the audio animatronics…
I was doubtful at first but now convinced Decatur needs this.
ZOMG i’m so excited!!
Oh, hells yeah!!! I’m MaiTai-ing it tonight!!!
This seems like a likely place to find a drink comparable to my favorite on this planet — the Monsoon at Port of Call in NoLA.
God help us all…
The Tiki Gods shine down on Decatur with their Zombie love rum, and yez I am walking to/from SOS tonight
You’re not dead are you Zed? If not, give us a report!
