I'd say it's just a case of the sweeping trend to call any open air bar a tiki bar. There's a resteraunt in Newburg Indiana on the Ohio river that boasts of a tiki bar. No thatch, no tikis, no mai tai. You can get rum and juice though. Outside of the tiki torches there's nothing remotely tiki about it. I've noticed this in Florida also.
