Then I will talk about how we can learn to be culturally sensitive, how to build an appropriate tropical bar, and a responsible bar program.

Topic: Escapism and the Modern Tiki Bar

Channel: Tiki by the Sea

Host: Peter Nevenglosky - Co-Founder Tiki by the Sea

Speakers:

• Ray Sakover - Paradise Lost - co-owner & Beverage Director 

"Ray Sakover is the co-owner and Beverage Director of Paradise Lost, a cocktail bar opening later this year in New York City promising hellfire, whimsical drinks, and a healthy dose of The Cramps. Ray loves r(h)um and all of its "rhapsodies" and enjoys a good craft beer or a solid gin & tonic from time to time. When he isn't planning world domination, Ray listens to The Last Podcast Network, strums some guitar, and avoids Uber doors on his bicycle.

Ray currently lives in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn."

What You'll Learn: 

We will explore what escapism looks like in the context of restaurants and bars by beginning with a brief history of the themed bar/restaurant dating back to the late 19th Century and early 20th Century leading up to the 1930s. Then we are going to get into the faux-Polynesian restaurant theme (a.k.a the tiki bar) and its explosion relating to the demand for escapism in the mid-twentieth century. Finally, we will discuss what defines a tiki bar in the 21st century by looking at a handful of bars today (including a sneak-peek into Paradise Lost) while we consider what escapism really means for the modern tropical bar.

Rums of the 1920s, ’30s, ’40s, and ‘50s
The Prohibition and post-Prohibition years were rum’s comeback era. After being eclipsed by whiskey, rum bounced back thanks to Prohibition and the liquors shortages of World War II. How did this happen? What were people drinking? How did rum then differ from rum today? And how did it evolve over those four decades? Wayne Curtis, author of “And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in 10 Cocktails,” will discuss rum’s 20th century revival, including the role of exotic drinks in bringing the most flavorful rums back to the public's attention.
