Politiki, Washington, D.C. (bar) - Locating Tiki

The high point of my evening was meeting Mr. and Mrs. Suburban hipster. The Politiki appeared to have started with all the passion and care of a true tiki person. The Bosko art was plentiful, Ryden on the walls, a collection of mugs behind the bar and tropical themed decor. Unfortunately, all the living parts of the bar were the exact opposite of Tiki. The top two floors looked more like a sports bar frat house with AC/DC playing at full volume. It was clear the owner had a vision, but the average patron does not seem to care for it very much. Hopefully it will turn around but it doesn't look good. Thanks again Hipsters for a great night out.
