I like the corrugated-metal on the bar-front - gives it a found-wreckage-from-the-beach look.
However, I'd cover the hut-top with thatch (personally, I'd hit it with some darker, loose-weave rolls), toss the store-bought tiki-sign & put up a hand-painted one done yourself (on driftwood to match the look), and definitely get a hand-carved Tiki in there if you're going to have a Tiki bar sign up! At least two three-to-four-footers guarding the entrance, is what I can see.
I can also picture wooden torches sticking up out of the four corners of the roof at an angle, but there might be a by-law prohibiting it (not to mention they'd be hard to light!).
Man, I'd love that much bar to work with...
