Thank you for that great example of a post that would have been a good candidate for a PM rather than posted on this poor derailed thread we're trying so hard to get back on track. You help make GROG point. Now, can we please stop this and get back to the original thread?

And, thanks Unga Bunga (sound like caveman speak) for the rare serious and insightful post.


So, the Mai-Kai bartenders are hidden away in back? They don't have a bar you can "belly up to" and sit and hang out?
That one of the things GROG like about the Tiki bars here in L.A., is that you can see your drink being made, and if you're at the bar, you can interact with the bartender. When we went to La Descarga a couple of nights ago, the bartender was telling us the history of how the drink "tapping the Admiral" got it's name, as she was mixing it for us. That defintely added to the enjoyment of the overall experience we had that night.

Grog,

No, no, you got it all wron. No bartender guys to interact with, instead you have this:

Much better!
