I'm still thinking about this... A tiki bar in Maine? A W E S O M E !! Maybe they'll start out like this, taste some success, and then be able to refine it some more. You never know when a proprietor has a really shoestring budget, or is afraid to commit and has to wait a while. So I'm really of the opinion that we should support and help these guys. For all we know they're reading this thread (I'd be googling my new place) and learning from us. On the other hand, if they don't care about the tiki, and it's just about making money and having fun, then they may not change much if at all. Let's hope they at least don't have sports TVs and pool tables. Q: "Hey Quasimodo, how do you think the new 'refined' tiki bar in Portland Maine is going to do?" A: "I don't know, but I have a hunch!"
