TV is a fancy restaurant. The price of the food makes the drink prices seem okay! If you had TGIFriday's food prices, the drinks might seem crazy. But that's really what you have to charge. Most tiki drinks are doubles at least and to make money, you end up charging double.

There is a chain out there Bahama Breeze that is as close as you might hope to get. When I talked to the owner of Ruby Tuesday about doing a tiki bar, that's what he thought of.
