Can I ask here and now, what is the deal with witco, that is to say, what is it and why do people care about it? Is it carved or burnt, and what is the origin? I guess that despite the fact that is is not red, it seems a bit like New Zealand long house art (are they called long houses?) So I asked a bunch of questions, I'll answer one now. The bar is only worth something if it elevates the bartenders talent for producing delicious drinks, and gives their guests a cozy sense of belonging in an exotic setting. As you can tell I don't get witco, but I feel that the most straight forward orchid of japan mug is worth more than the bar pictured. I'm sorry if you love it, and if you do then slice up some limes and love it, and your guests will love it too, even I would if you offered me a drink from behind it.
