In fact, its goal is to pay tribute to long-standing traditions in a fun and engaging way. "We're not exaggerating the culture or the style," he says. "We're honoring it and embracing it. It's not going to be campy or kitschy. Envision that it's 1968 and the Beach Boys are flying to Hawaii to play a show in a small, upscale club. This is that place." Sounds a lot like what the Lost Lake guy said. My bet is another Tiki bar with no Tiki. TT
