The Kahiki food and drinks were not good at the end for sure.
But the best and worst drink came from my favorite bartender at the Kahiki.
Worst because it had so much booze in it I could not drive home after drinking them,
and best because it was so much fun to sit and watch and participate in the mayhem that
went on when he was there.
The best drink came from Jim, but I would much rather have a bad drink from Skip.
So for me when I go to any bar restaurant what I want is a good time and the bartender is key
in this area.

The Navy grog mix at the Kahiki could be at times one year old as they only made it once, maybe twice a year.

I hate the term craft cocktail, just means you will pay too much for your drink made by a "mixologists"
(Read guy who was selling carpet last week)
There are some true mixologists like Jeff Berry, but the term is used way too much just like "chef" is.
But the "craft cocktail" places are most times so stuffy and so busy patting themselves on the back
that they don't have time for pesky customers.

So for me keep it fun, and if you get good food and a good drink at a price that won't break you,
I'm good.
