hewey - it's a good space isn't it?! The arched rooms actually have really good acoustics. Must be something to do with the reverberation pattern set up by the arches - referring to the earlier post maybe that's why the Cavern Club did/does so well!

As you say, the biggest problem we face is the stuff we can't change (not that we would want to ruin such a great building anyway, but it does make tikifying it a bit trickier). So for example we would have to basically leave the panelling and the fireplace, with any work to them limited to painting. Hence the original reason for the post - I'm interested to hear views on how to give the place a Tiki character while still including the features which are already great about it. The best examples of Tiki bars I've seen tend to have a much more radical approach than we could probably take in this space.
