Not sure how the hipsters dress in your bars. But if they are doing the whole flannel shirt thing, then I think they're sadly not comprehending the tiki vibe and cluelessly portraying the scruffy lumberjack vibe.

The good news is, like others have pointed out here, that they have been on a quest for better cocktails. If only the bartenders could help resist the douchbaggery that are the old cheesy 70's and 80's cocktails and help them stick with more classic stuff. I can't help but wonder if the hipster thing has peaked and is starting to devolve now. With their short attention spans, isn't it time for them to begin moving on to their next fad? Let's hope there will be some cocktail-centricity in whatever they do next unless, of course, they continue to do the crappy "lets add 20 different bitters to our new drinks" clowning around. Yes, sadly, hipsters may have been the ones to have "discovered" bitters and taken them to extremes - it's only a matter of time before we see "cotton candy bitters" or something equally funny arrive on their scene.
