I know the Mikes' are at the Ti bright and early like 9am-ish preparing for that business night patrons. My understanding was that they do use fresh fruit juice(when available), and obviously they also use fresh fruit(except cherries)for their garnishes, such as the pineapple, limes, etc...You can search for a better exotica/polynesian drinking establishment, but you will find none in the greater Los Angeles area. For example, order a redbull/vodka next time in Hollywood from any club/bar, and you'll pay about $15 for something much less palatable. In this perspective, Tiki Ti isn't all that bad on prices. They just may finally be catching up to the areas long going pricing.

And for fairness, instead of comparing happy hour prices to full prices at other establishments, why not compare full price for full price, or pound for pound...What are Sam's the Kona Beachcomber's regular non-happy hour prices, and do the drink's taste really compare to Tiki Ti? I had a(1) Mai Tai from Kona, and it was very........well, put it this way, I've had better. Love the environment of both establishments, but I can't say the same for the drinks from my experience.
