Good perspective, JT.

I can remember having endured bad classic rock in the Tiki Ti before and I'm sure that late on a Friday or Saturday the Tiki Ti gets its share of loud frat-boy knuckleheads too. The classic places are not immune.

Perhaps it's because I live in the San Francisco area but I know many people who like to lounge and would frequent a bar with the original style. I think it can be done here or in LA. Maybe in Chicago it's very different, and I know it wouldn't fly in say Salt Lake City. Likewise in New York, it seems there the people are a bit more into current trends and they don't have as large a crowd that wears vintage clothing and likes to lounge (probably because vintage clothes are so expensive there!) as in California. In California it's more that time-warp feeling that many of us strive for, in choosing a restaurant, what car we drive, or what bars we drink in.
