Wiz, John-O did a good job of clarifying my disagreement of your remarks
as the article refers to the "Best Tiki Bars" and not the best drinks.
Considering it is about drinking establishments, I would hope that everyone present would consider what they serve to be paramount. Otherwise it would just be a discussion on "Best tiki looking buildings". If a cocktail bar's cocktails are considered almost irrelevant to a discussion on bars then that is weird. At the same time, people do go to hooters... they don't like the food and the drinks are not the main topic. :D
Oh no, you didn't! :lol:
I sure hope that 50 years from now, we don't get a "Hooter's Revival"
but you are missing the point of why many of us are into Tiki in the first place
and it is all about the history, invoking a time long passed or recreating it.
That said, we all like excellent cocktails, but I will take a vintage mid century dive bar
full of geriatric drunks as long as it had some classic atmosphere & decor
over the Hipster Bar that has the best cocktails in town, every time!
To be completely honest, we get far better cocktails made in our home bars anyway.
