My 2 cents, Primo beer is back in business and available on tap so i would promote it and also Kona beer. I would also play up your Navy motif a bit, make it personal. Hang up your dog tags and picture of you and your buddy's (in whatever island you are on) toasting a pineapple rum in a coconut. Even better if you can find some island girls to pose with you. You are the owner, you are the face and personality. You will set the tone. Also forget crappy rum like Bacardi and carry good stuff like Sailor Jerry's.

And don't forget to do some crazy s##t while you're in the Navy so you can tell some cool stories as you're helping out behind the bar!

Good Luck

Thanks, I plan to have a lot of personal stuff mixed in the decor. I've taken a lot of pictures in a lot of places you can visit like Hawaii, Japan, Qatar and Australia but also some unique stuff. I have a picture of the sunset over Chichi Jima (sister island to Iwo Jima)and a beached Catalina flying boat that still rests on Diego Garcia. (aka Paradise)I still have half a mind to cut a pair of utilities into shorts just to have a shot of myself in the legendary Tropical Working Utilities- US Navy Pith helmet, short sleeved blue utility shirt, blue utility shorts, black knee socks and boots. The only time you ever see those is when some Mariners need a good gag group photo.
