I must be missing something here? Not that I have a Tiki Bar, but it would be super to have one and I must admit I'm sort of Tiki-envious when I see all the cool things that everyone has created. Oh yeah, get to the point. Well the point is that I'm confused!!! Aren't these the same "beer" drinkers that want to go to beautiful warm tropical paradises, and take cruises to the Islands etc? I know that the initial visitors to your Tiki-bar were "Grown-ups" but I think that you properly advised them that it would be an Island atmosphere. If they couldn't get into it that is their fault not yours and you should not ever give up your Tiki-ness to please others. Sure there are lots of people that may be resistant to the whole Tiki mug for your drink but who cares about them? As some here have suggested be sure that you have a few friends at the party who will enjoy the party along with you. The idea is, as I saw earlier in this post, to relax and soak up the environment. Think of your Tiki bar as a vacation destination where the sun shines everyday!!! Don't let the stodgy ones get to you!!! Enjoy your Tiki Bar and the peace, warmth and happiness that flow there and of course the yummy drinks!!!
