How many here have travelled/driven out of their way to attend a venue ADVERTISED as being a "Tiki Bar"? I've done exactly this on more than one occasion, only to find that in fact it's REALLY nothing of the sort. In my humble opinion, just putting a few cheap Balinese masks up on a wall amongst your other crap doesn't make a place "tiki".....or maybe it does under the new aesthetic we are now supposed to embrace? I think it's more like trying to cash in on the new interest without spending any money doing it justice. Disappointing to say the least, not to mention the matter of false advertising.
