Delayed in posting these. Finally tried out Tiki No for myself because I had to confirm whether the drinks were truly as bad as everybody has told me. Yep. The layout and decor of Tiki No is fantastic and has SO much potential to be an awesome place if they could nail the drinks down. Here's what was up for me:

1. Lychee Luau - $6 for happy hour
   First off it was nice to see the words "happy hour" at a tiki joint. Never seen that before that I can reall. Anyway not bad for 6 bucks. Ten minutes later when I asked about the lychee liqueur, the bartender couldn't find a bottle. Not THE bottle, but A bottle. What the hell did you put in my drink then? Rather, did you make my drink sans the namesake ingredient?
   

2. Navy Grog - $14
   This is the drink I've heard the most disappointing feedback on. My friend ordered it before three times and it tasted different each time. The big plus is that you get the ice cone but the taste wasn't worth it. Maybe it was Sammy Hagar's Beach Bar Rum or the other ingredients I didn't catch. Big waste of 14 bucks.
   

3. Zombie - $10
   Very interesting to have a zombie cost less than a Navy Grog or at least noticeably so. Being so disapointed with my Navy Grog, I wanted something with a punch and a bit of cinnamon. I kept smelling burnt sugar from everybody's Toasted Marshmallows so I needed that angle. What I got was a pink zombie which had me really worried - it actually wasn't awful but more like a Zombie Light.
