Jab,
Yes, the drinks sucked, the music was bad and there was no attempt to create a tiki atmosphere. I'm a bit of a bar crawler and have seen a number of bars, good and bad. Taboo Cove, was the funnest, highest energy bar I have visited in awhile. The barkeeps did not know what a tropical was, but, they said they would make anything I came up with. I asked if they had orgeat, they didn't stock it any more. what they lacked in knowlege, they made up for in enthusiasm. I also asked a million questions and they were very gracious and answered all of them.
I got my drinks in tiki mugs and I appreciated the tour of Venus. I had the false impression there was an attitude at TC.
That the gorilla watching the door was an asshole and the employees were appathetic loosers and the clientel were stiffs. That was not my experience. they were courteous fun people who enjoyed what they were doing.
Taboo cove looks incredible, as tiki as it comes. if you haven't seen it you need to, warts and all.
Al
