I think it's great to make great drinks, and even study doing so.
And all restaurant bars should have good food drinks but the Myth of "they cost so much because of the large amt of booze and the quality of the booze" is many times just not true.

But I was mostly talking about commercial tiki bars.

Here is a review of a local place that I was told would have "Craft cocktails" and the reviews are in, many sound like this one, many others talk about the slow service.

So this place and others would do their customers a favor if they put more time into just getting people a drink of any kind and cleaning up the place.
And if not for the many tiki nutz here the review scores inflated by the generous tiki nutz, ratings would be terrible.

To hide in the back of the bar while people want to get some service is just nutz but it happens a lot.

What is douche-baggy is to hear one of these "Mixologists" as they call themselves sit behind their dirty bar while people wait for service and talk about the great drinks they can make or the homemade mixers they make and use at the bar.

To a professional bartender service is number one or should be.

So sorry not aimed at you Ace I think there are people that rise above others in what they do and should have a title such as Mixologists or a drink that is called craft.
Tiki Ti comes to mind as a great tiki drink or even the Mai Kai.

But it's mostly not what I have seen in Ohio.

"Unfortunately this place doesn't live up to the name of Tiki Bar. The drinks are very weak, almost to the point if wondering if there's any liquor even involved. The tables are awkward. Bathroom was very dirty. Free leis were cool"
