The current DC Tiki Bars:

A comprehensive (and always under construction) guide to Tiki in DC

Who doesn't love tiki? Only one person immediately pops to mind: Donald Trump, who shuttered Trader Vic's in the late 1980s after he bought the Plaza Hotel. He called the famed tiki bar "tacky." Yes, Donald Trump called something "tacky." You see, this is the strange sort of mindspace we get into when we start talking tiki. - Jason Wilson, The Washington Post 2009
