Tiki bar with bikers' music... That's what I'm talking about... I would like to have a beer in bikers' bar, but it's totally another thing than going to tiki bar. What's the main idea of tiki bars? Ok, maybe not even tiki cocktails... but giving that exotic far away exotic feeling... And the music is the number one detail that makes the mood (depends on person). Even if everything else is right, but '90 disco fills the room, sorry, that kills everything... Decor doesn't matter any more, even not drinks... It's the same as you try to read the book, newspaper or to study, and somebody is just screaming non-stop in your ear (or your apartment neighbor is rehearsing for his next gig and he is a player in heavy metal band)... You read one word for twenty times without understanding what you are reading and then you switch back to previous word, because you don't remember it any more, and even worse, you get confused which page you are presently reading... That's the efect of wrong music in tiki bar... For now I've been in about 20 tiki bars in around the Europe, and this same effect is pretty much in all of them, so... I really don't believe I will waste much more my money in any tiki bars, I'll leave my aloha shirts at home next time I go for travel... European tiki bars just cannot offer this main idea, feeling, for what I would step into tiki bar. I would step into Münich Trader Vic's again, and I did not cry a one tear of any euro I spent there. That's the point of spending money... 7 euro drink in spanish classic tiki bar is more expensive than 15 euro drink in Trader Vic's...
