I wasn't critisizing the drinks according to a Tiki standard, but to basic drinkibility. I'm of hearty eastern european descent and have been raised to drink the nastiest of alcohols. (Once when I asked for water to chase a vodka shot, my father dubbed me as "fancy"). I'm not a drink snob by any means. For me, $8.50 is plenty money for a cocktail. ANY bar, not only tiki, that charges that much should be providing a decent drink. I don't care what bartending school, if any, they graduated from.
I support the Tiki Resort's venue and really appreciate that they are in existence. Their entertainment was wonderful! But as well, my boyfriend and I did spend $130 for our evening there. For me, that's ALOT of money and it is a disappointment to get bad drinks (even according to my low standards) when I am willing to give them a big chunk of money. It's honest of me to say that if you are on a budget, it's a better investment to sit at the bar.
