The management of Taboo Cove started playing "popular" music and changing the drink recipes way back in October to appeal to the masses. Yet all recent reports have indicated that the place is practically empty most of the time, so I seriously doubt that the place is turning a profit due to management's changes. And to think that only folks on Tiki Central would appreciate a tiki bar done authentically is an elitist attitude. I think once people get clued in to it and taste a few well-made drinks that more people would appreciate it.
Very well put, Jab. I am fairly new to this Tiki culture as well (it started for me after a trip to Hawaii). Interest breeds demand. If older Tikiphiles are too cynical and people become discouraged the interest which breeds demand may diminish. The more demand for Tiki Style that develops the more there will be for all of us to enjoy. Slovak
