I went to Bosko's Tiki paradise this weekend... - General Tiki

But there is a large gulf between clothing and restaurants. Trader Vic's is generally an expensive restaurant. The people that eat there aren't as much interested in the music and just having it not intrude on their meal. Perhaps that is what Mr. Tiki is going for. Chances are, the drinks will dissappoint at Mr. Tiki. Think sweet shooters with raunchy names. Hale Tiki is the big experiment. Keep it classic from decor to music to perfect drinks and waitresses in skimpy outfits. We've seen it work in a sleepy Chicago suburb. We've seen the restaurant version go over the top for 50 years in Lauderdale. Will it work in Augusta? But, to be fair, Brad does intend to play loung and other music there that is genre appropriate.
