I for one have felt this way about all the new tiki bars opening up in the past couple of years. Like you said, what it comes down to is simple economics. As I've posted many time before, they (the tiki bars) have to cater to the masses in order to turn a profit and I can't blame them one bit. If I owned the bar, you better believe I'd do what it takes to stay in business! Are the new breed of tiki bars built and run in the traditional sense of how we know it? Obviously not. But isn't a halfway-traditional tiki bar better than no tiki bar at all? In my opinion, yes. *** * * The Polynesian Popster * * *** [ Edited by: PolynesianPop on 2003-02-12 14:54 ]
