And for curiosities sake..... when was this visit?

Chip and Andy- Excellent reply to my original question. Your love for the Mai-Kai clearly shows. And you've made me want to return and try some drinks in one of the other rooms. I think I've only had one Mai-Kai drink outside of the Molokai Bar, so maybe you're onto something. And I do appreciate what you're saying about reverse engineering the drinks. When a "mixologist" adds a little too much of an ingredient it becomes obvious that it's a part of the recipe. I would be curious as to which Mai-Kai drinks you've successfully reverse engineered? I've only been able to replicate the Barrel of Rum, Mara-Amu, and Derby Daiquiri, mostly because I've found the recipes in various places.

Finally, to answer your question from above, it was just this past Saturday. And I'm not some old crank. I love music, especially live music. This was just bad, particularly for the Molokai Bar.
