Music is always the first thing that owners of bars/clubs/restaurants cut corners on. They don't think it matters.

Yup. It absolutely doesn't matter if you run a dive bar, or any other non-themed bar. If that's the kind of bars the owners want to have, then why not open one of those instead of spending a shit-ton on money on tiki decor and those $%#@& complicated tiki cocktails? I guarantee the profit margin's higher on a shot and a beer--especially if don't need a specialized, competent bartender to pour them.

The old excuse "we need to keep the music upbeat" is a canard and a clear sign they don't give a crap. I go on a bit of a rant about this in an upcoming Moment of Tiki episode.
