Reading through posts here in Tiki Central I've learned that tiki bars in Florida - with some very notable exceptions - are very different things from what we consider Tiki. Florida Tiki bars often don't have actual tikis, and project more of a Jimmy Buffet/tropical/island atmosphere. Have you been to the Mai Kai? Maybe a trip there will help you to better understand the tiki vibe. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ No tiki in our Florida Tiki Bars.. just some good home town 'Meth' for your smokin pleasure.. you'all come down soon you hear !!!!!
