Is the Cat Eye Club REALLY a tiki bar? They have tiki cocktails for sure, and they look pretty good, but that's it. I'm just judging by the web site you gave a link for.

Last time I was there the waitress said, "sorry, we do not have any whipped cream for the Painkiller. Do you still want it?" They didn't know what Smith & Cross was... They use Captain Morgan in many drinks, even mixed it with Lemonhart 151 and they have a bunch of drinks on tap. They make a decent Last Word though. There aren't any tikis, but it does have a cool tiki modern feel. Feel free to PM me for my unfiltered opinion :wink:

Really? It must have been quite a while ago since they haven't used Lemon Hart in some time (it's not even listed on their menu any more). Last time I was there was maybe two months ago, and the bartender mixed everything we ordered, no tap cocktails. I didn't remember any Captain Morgan being used, and I just checked their menu online and none of the drinks list it as an ingredient. They actually use two some local rums, which is kind of nice. There are no tikis, you're right. Would be nice if at least one was lurking in a corner.

I agree that Fairweather makes very good drinks, but it has even less atmosphere than Cat Eye. It's basically a balcony overlooking the ballpark.
