I was just at the Aloha last week, and while the decor and mugs were fantastic, I thought the high-priced drinks totally sucked.

When I asked the bartender for a Mai Tai, and he immediately started grabbing random bottles and pouring them into mugs unmeasured, never a promising sign. I also noticed that there was almost no alcohol in it except for a splash of brandy. The final product was weak, dark blue, and tasted like the Kool-Aid Man's ass. Just awful. My friend and I joked that it was probably going to turn our poo blue in the morning.

When we gave the bartender a substantial ration of sh*t about the foul taste and lack of rum. He simply shrugged his shoulders, poured about 5 fingers of Bacardi Silver into each mug, then walked off. Needless to say, the addition of the rum did nothing to improve the drink, so when the bartender's colleague took over, we asked him for a more straightforward Ron y Limon made with 7-year Cuban Rum. These proved to be quite acceptable. The gentleman apologized for his cow-orker's lack of expertise with the drinks, and we paid our bill (30 Euros!) and split.

Don't think I'll be going there again.
