The bartenders will serve drinks in a tiki mug on request, but they have no control over the music. Takes more than a strong drink or two to relax to high-energy dance beats. The music is now hiphop, which doesn't bother me, although I do find it ironic and amusing that they play hiphop and have classic Martin Denny album covers on the wall. Maybe the idea from theJab should be implemented for one night of an "authentic" tiki bar: Somebody (from tiki central?) should throw a big party at Taboo Cove/Venus and charge admission and do it right. Get some good bands and DJs, hire some real bartenders, and so on. Perhaps Otto can do something like that and make it work as he has with other events.
