Since
you mentioned the Bahi Hut in Sorrysota, I will give you some insight if you want to make the drive down. It's a small dive bar that is infamous for it's potent Mai Tai's. It's a bit seedy at times but draws an eclectic crowd of seasoned old drunks and local art college students with a fair share of enigmatic characters popping in. The place has not changed much in the thirty years I have known it. It's "Tiki-ness" I would rate at about 5-ish. It's somewhat of a local right of passage and most of the people I grew up with in the area have their "Bahia Hut Story" That sadly seems to share the same final result of porcelain worshipping. There are other places to see in SRQ as well and I would suggest a pub crawl that would also include Oleary's Tiki bar at Marina Jacks and the Sneaky Tiki on South Siesta. I have been meaning to post a thread on our local scene with some pics but life keeps getting in the way.
