I knew this would be a cool thread :wink:

There is no correct answer to the question. IMHO, those craftsmen out there who can turn lumber, bamboo, plumbing, and wires into a fully functioning and stylin' tiki bar are amazing and deserve nuthin' but kudos.

For the rest of us, or maybe just some of us, the thought of stepping over all that stuff in our basement for a year (not to mention the battering our eardrums will take) is a nightmare waiting to happen, and the last thing we want is for anything "tiki" to cause us grief.

My takeaway from this is that a Tiki Bar is a labor of love -- and it's owner needs to put some personal "equity" into it to make it a true reflection of his/her love of all things tiki. When I finally do get mine, I can assure you that the first Mai Tai made behind it will taste just a little bit better than any other I've had before.

Aloha and Mahalo,
