I have to say, it's good to see media attention pointed at deserving bars, and the goal to educate the general masses about what Tiki is is certainly noble... but there's been some seriously shoddy "journalism" goin' with this stuff, and watching "Tiki" become a trendy hipster buzzword is a tad disturbing. Maybe I just strongly dislike the kind of "hey bro" patronizing tone of Thrillist in general. But at least we ought to get some decent drinks out of it... --Pete
