Why are bars so important to Tiki Culture (there's a straight line if I ever heard one) - Tiki restaurants and hotels were and are much more popular.

So here is a list of things that are NOT Tiki, just to clarify;

Don Ho
Hawaiian Shirts
Luaus
Original Pre-Contact Native Carved Tikis
Don the Beachcomber
Trader Vic
The International Marketplace
The Bishop Museum (those native Tikis again)
Hawaii
Hawaiian Tourism
Hawaiian Carved Tikis
Coco Joe's Mass Produced Tikis
Surfing
Ku Mugs
Bamboo Bars with no Tikis in them
Tommy Bahama Hibiscus/palm tree/surfboard shirts
Hula Girls
Hawaii 5-0

This list is absurd!

You forgot Jimmy Buffett.
