The problem with "refined take on Tiki" to me is those places mostly look
like a new Starbucks with a few tiki thrown in and some float lights.
Plus for me the old grungy tiki is my style.
That or Mai Kai/ Kahiki.
Then ya got the ten dollar or more drinks.
Would rather have not so great drinks at half that price and drink all night.
Have found that when you mix sweet and sour with other stuff it's ok for a bit,
say few hours.
But if it stays mixed for long the acid may kinda taint the drink.
So if they burn through the drinks and don't keep the mix long it may be ok.
Chi Chis (Mexican) here put the Long Island ice teas on a gun, they were good.
I understand what you mean with the Starbucks comparison. It can seem sterile if not done correctly. While I like the style of the places you mentioned best I can appreciate some of the more modern scaled back places.
