The first Volcano Bowl is on me! And i haven't been to Lee's so I 'd love to go.
I like Lei Bar (under Niagara) but I don't talk about it alot because it has a cover charge and is open only some nights (so I rarely go). Plus, no Tiki drinks.
Your critique is your own and I actually agree with some of your points. The music has been ridiculous at WW. I've posted before that the repeat play of "Lilo and Stitch" soundtrack was making me nuts. But the food, I've found fantastic the many times I've eaten there.
But the point I'm really trying to make, is that we should be doing more than just speaking with our dollars in order to make a statement about Tiki. Having this discussion on the internet is a good example of how we are positively working to enhance Tiki. But, we should be speaking to the bar staff also. (You were at WW one night so I can see how that would be hard.) Yes, it makes a difference what bars we choose to patron. But are we just consumers or more than that? Looking at photos of your bad-ass tiki in the backyard you are obviously a dynamic individual. You definately have a love of Tiki. I was really surprised when you described the staff at WW as so unhappy when usually they love to talk about what WW is doing. Too bad that you didn't get a chance to give them your opinions. I think that you telling them a thing or two about Tiki Classic would be more affective than your dollars not going there. Because your dollars WILL be quickly replaced by other patrons'. Your knowledge and decidation to Tiki will not.
