You're gonna miss out on Tiki Cat!

Hi Ben. I didn't say I wouldn't go, I just said that there are a lot of latecomers to the "hey, we've got a secret door, we're a speakeasy!" concept. And I was definitely trying to be tongue-in-cheek to go along with the thread title.

This is a good discussion point though, and especially given your extensive experience with designing and building tiki bars. I believe the two concepts (tiki and the speakeasy) are from two completely different timeframes. But it's not that they cannot be joined today - why not? But I do wonder if, in mid-century America, there ever were any tiki bars that were also themed as speakeasies or had speakeasy elements?

Thanks for the Tiki Cat pic, it looks insanely amazing, you're teasing us! I'm really glad I made my original post -- that's pic is quite a "reward." Let's see... What else can I write to get you to post more pics here for us? :)
