But I agree with tastysp that making money from cocktails alone, especially in Oz, would be difficult and that something else should be the drawcard (eg live music) and the bar needs to predominantly sell high volume beers/basics to make it worth all the risks. Thanks for your post tastysp as it partly answers my question above on why tiki cocktail bars haven't/won't take off in Oz.
