I imagine you are talking about Otto's and Waikiki Wally's and places like that. I do have high hopes for the drinks at Painkiller because of the folks involved. However, there are bartenders around the city that do know how to do it right, even if not in a tiki setting (which is not preferable, I know). However, if the choice is great drinks in a non-tiki setting or crappy drinks in a tiki setting, I'll take the former, unless the crab rangoons are REALLY good... For those of you that were able to visit Elettaria before it closed, you know what I mean...and FYI, Joe is now working at Flatiron Lounge on 19th street and is still turning out grogs, mai tais, KILLER '34 zombies (with LH151) and his own original creations.... just sayin'
