“When I go to a bar and pay money for a drink, I expect it to be good.”

Good is one thing but paying way too much for an ok drink at a boring place
Is not good.
For me most of the newer places are like this overpriced ok or bad drinks.

So if a tiki bar had GREAT drinks the best ever, but the bartender was a d!ck and the place was not fun with nobody there would you go back time and time again just for a great drink and sit all by yourself and drink it?

My point was it’s the excitement and fun that makes a place, sure you must try to always have great food, service, and drinks.

I would bet the WORST time to get a drink at the Mai Kai or any of the places that serve drinks at any Tiki Oasis bar would be when the event is going on as they are swamped.
The drink is going to be hard to get and the pour will be rushed, but that is the time everybody wants to be there.
Not for the drink, but for the excitement and fun, damn it’s hard to get ANY drink good or bad at that time.

Tiki Ti has it all great drinks, excitement and fun, awesome atmosphere the people at Tiki Ti get it.

For great drinks I stay home, no self-proclaimed “mixologist” making “handcrafted” drinks can beat that.
Well Tiki Ti can, but they are one of the few.

Just my opinion, everybody has different ideas on what they want in a night out.
I want the kind of fun we used to have at the Kahiki.

"my contact at the SBA went on vacation which kind of slowed me down a bit"

Well wait till you start to build it out, the builders will show you being slowed down a bit.

Good Luck!!
