Well at the Kahiki in the last days, think last eight or more years.

The drinks were not great Jim did do an ok job on the drinks and tasted every one with a straw to make sure of that fact.
He would put the straw in the drink cap the top with one finger and do it that way.

BUT people would go to the Kahiki to see Skip, man he was a riot!
Skips drinks were so strong that I had to drink Bud or not be able to walk.

The food at that time was known to be not great as well.

You went to the Kahiki because it was so cool, part of history and FUN.

Fu*k the drinks who cares! most of us make better drinks at home.
That whole Craft hand made cocktail thing is a advertising tag line to pry money out of you.

Now Tiki Ti does make great drinks and it's not hype IMHO.
Am sure there are others as well.

But these days the owners of these places allow the people who work for them to treat their business like it is there own private party, So for many who go to these places it's not that great as they wait for the bartender to come as he entertains his or her friends.

Grass Skirt does this and it's on the yelp reviews and it still goes on.

So it's about going out and having a good time in the end.
Who wants to go out, be blown off by some half a$$ bartender that was sellin carpet last week.
