[curmudgeon]Yeah, sorry to poo poo, but, if that is one of the most elaborate home bars they have seen... and if that title picture is "All his tiki accoutrement", well, you can guess my opinion. Take a short stroll through the Home Bars area here and he'd just get floored I imagine. All his tiki is less than I pass over regularly and refuse to buy because it is too common.

Oh well. I do dig the Airstream bar. Don't think the taillights are original though, so there I go getting all High and Mighty indignanat again! Sheesh! Can you believe this asshole?

I know a lot of people who would have to argue a lot with the notion this guy is in the top 5 in the world of mixology. I'll pick my 4 and have a Smack-Down Mix-Off any day! Bring it on at Hukilau!

In the end, I think Tiki doesn't quite belong in that article. For us folks drunk on Tiki, he does not seem to have really dipped his toe in. At least they get the top 2 vintage Tiki bars (as far as drinks, by far) in the world right.[/curmudgeon]
