Reclaiming the Tiki Bar

Tiki bars are a beverage industry mainstay — with a painful and underexamined past. Can the format be repaired?

As a long time adherent, enthusiast, and promoter of America's great vintage Tiki bars, this is the hill on which I will die. But let's face it, these people don't just hate Tiki, they want to wipe out ever last form of harmless escapism.
And even worse, the Times can't even come up with original problematics any more, they just plagiarize dumbass hot takes from year-old issues of The Atlantic https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/1188076925132136449
In conclusion, I highly recommend getting sloshed at any of these fine vintage Polynesian-themed venues. I have myself many times, and never once did they serve my drink with a side of lecture. https://twitter.com/iowahawkblog/status/1188452635059326977
