An easy target, but oh so fun -- Tiki Bob's Cantina, this one is the Philadelphia location:
http://www.tikibobsphilly.com/

Where to start... So, the Tiki Bob's name of course -- very tiki, has a great history. But then it's all buggered up with the tacking-on of "Cantina" -- cantinas of course are Mexican, and ain't tiki. To their very, very minor credit -- there is a tiki on the page, though it is very, very wee. Much too wee. The overall feel of the page is a bit too Tequila Sunrise for me.

$2 drinks -- you haven't been able to get a properly made tropical drink for $2 in at least 30 years.
$2 Coors Lights -- there's nothing wrong with serving beer in a tiki bar, or enjoying a beer in a tiki bar, but it shouldn't be an advertising point. Especially if it's Coors Light.

And really, what can be said about midget wrestling and tiki bars that hasn't been said a thousand times before?

I haven't even bothered to delve further into the website to find more atrocities, this front page is enough for me!
