A "cocktail bar" should offer great tasting, well-balanced cocktails made using quality ingredients and fresh juices but as the style of bars vary enormously...
My specific peeve, and this is centric to Tiki cocktails which I have a fondness for, is being at a bar you would expect to be able to make, for example, a Jungle Bird, or, a 1944 Mai Tai. Almost nowhere in Honolulu can you find either one of these as they should be. Not that Honolulu is the home of Tiki (Oakland, CA & elesewhere).
