You're right jt, I don't know the economics of bar-running; it may not be prohibitively expensive, and theft may not be that big an issue. I'm probably being overly pessimistic there. I do suspect that the economies of the 50s & 60s might have made tiki mug production a relatively less expensive thing back then than it is today. But again -- talking out of my ass. :)

What I do know is that while tiki mug = good, I've never turned my nose up at a great drink served out of a chimney, while I have turned my nose up at a mediocre drink served out of a tiki mug. But hey, personal priorities & preference -- just as Doug is entitled to run his bar how he wants, Robertiki is entitled to have his own opinions on how with some changes it could be more to his own tastes.

Jab's points are good -- there is some great music in that jukebox, you just have to ask for it. And the bartenders are very friendly, and willing to try.

Dammit, why doesn't my living room have a waterfall!?
