That means that I don't have the Tiki concentrated into one room like so many others here. One way is not better than the other, it is just a different way of doing it. So, to the topic at hand, my question is not about the outer edges of Tiki but that fine line in the middle where a nice looking bar like the one Humuhumu pointed out can switch from being Chickee to being Tiki..... Does it only need to have some Ohana around it with tiki mugs full of drink? Does it need to have some sort of Polynesian mask added to the front? To put it in the most direct way: what, exactly, would need to be done to this lovely example of a bar to make it Tiki?
