I gotta go with BTF on this. However, it is better then my home bar (which is non-existant).

The great thing about this forum is there is a wealth of information regarding home bars, decor, music, etc...and a LOT of experts. People like Crazy Al and Bamboo Ben and so many others here can really set you in the right direction by following thier example of things they have built.

You might also want to check out any of Sven Kirsten's books (Bigbrotiki on this forum) because he has spent a lot of time documenting and defining the poly-pop art movement. This is to be distingushed from the Jimmy Buffet/vaguely tropical-party city type tiki decor that most of the general public thinks of when they hear the word "tiki".

People here discuss the historically correct drinks, decor, music, etc....welcome aboard!
