I'd say listen to people you know, whose thoughts about how "pirate" and "tiki" are defined match your own, before you read too much into commentary on Yelp. These nutty folks up here think anything that might have once touched saltwater is "pirate" themed. It's weird. Endearing, but weird.

In my opinion, Smuggler's Cove is exactly as much a pirate bar as the Molokai Bar at the Mai-Kai. Which is to say: not very piratey. Very, very nautical, though. But that's just my opinion. There are lots of people who will tell you that an outdoor stand on a sandy beach with thatch on the top is a tiki bar. Everyone has their own semantics.

Now the real question: JOHN-O, its sounds like it's gotten to the point where your questions about Smuggler's Cove are keeping you up at night. When are you going to let yourself have a good night's sleep by coming to take a gander at it yourself?
