For the 'old-school' tiki people out there, there is this quote within . . . "The team hopes to eventually be able to make pretty much any old-school tiki drink, the same way any decent bar should be able to make an old fashioned or negroni even if it's not listed on the menu."

That would be great. I do not differentiate between old-school and new-school. For me it's one big broad landscape of drinks punctuated by time periods/eras. The old and the new are worth noting, but not worth dividing over. The older stuff has a ton to offer, and so does the newer stuff. The evolution of the cocktails is unstoppable, some good and some bad, just like in the old days. But if someone walks in and wants a real Mai-Tai, they hopefully will be able to make a reasonably authentic one cuz it's that good.

I do hope this place rocks!
