Holy cow yes this place is terrible.

Same deal, I've know of it for a awhile now and decided one friday about 3 weesk ago that maybe I should just go and find out for myself.

Walked in at about 8:30 on Friday eve, some latino Ska was playing (I didnt mind so much as I was a ska dj back in the day)
Thought ok, the decor isn't the worst I've seen, but it felt very forced, almost an after thought.
We talked with the bartender a bit (not the brightest bulb in box I may say) she made us some drinks with about 500x the grenadine required.
THEN
about 1/2 way through the drinks, the music got turned up to 11 and this horrific gansta rap came on. Now I'm not claming Im not like my father, but 1) does it need to be so loud 2) I think it was Outkast 3) I mean honsetly, gansta rap?

So we finished up and went to pay our tab, bartender asked us how we were enjoying our selves. I said well honetly music sux ass terribly. She said oh, I didnt think that ethnic stuff was very exciting so I upped the tempo.
I smiled and nodded, then I had to ask.
So you guys do a lounge, exotica kinda night?
She looked at me as if I just spit in her drink. "Lounge? you mean like vegas stuff?"
I said not really but sorta kinda, but told her that she was missing the whole tiki idea and it was sad.
She said they were packed nightly so maybe I wanst getting it and walked away.

ohh Toronto you are ready for a proper tiki bar!
one day... one day!
