Jesus! That early on a weekday and there are THAT many people out getting plastered? Doesn't anyone actually WORK for a living anymore?

I wouldn't be surprised to see people in that crowd trying to buy drinks with food stamps, since it's apparent most of them don't have jobs...

Hope everyone one has a good time and doesn't drink and drive, take a cab or have someone else do the driving. People need to be more considerate of other drivers out on the roads.

If the establishment offers dining I can see having kids there, but not at the Tiki Bar and especially not opening weekend. What kills me are the people who bring their kids to the Tiki BAR and then get mad at the other patrons because they are having adult conversations that may include the use of curse words.

Most of the people you see at the Tiki Openeing hold regular jobs and do not rely on food stamps. Many professional people actually schedule and request this day off in advance. Everyone knows that TIKI OPENING is the third weekend in April. Many people from other areas or who are new to the area plan to attend due to its history or fun and games.
I am sorry for whatever has prevented you from attending but maybe you can plan in advance to attend another year. Please refrain from posting such negative and unsubstantiated remarks on a public forum.
Have a nice day.

Please be careful
I just can’t drink like those people at the Tiki bar. Last time I went, an intoxicated gentleman didn’t make it to the Jiffy John and defecated his pantalones. That’s not Fun!

Jealous?...
perhaps they have better jobs than you and are afforded the day off to go out and spend some of their hard earned CASH so as to stimulate the local merchants/economy..fine by me as long as they are responsible about it..and sure, they will have some problems incited by some of the local inter breeding native species, but that will most likely happen later in the evening. so they got out there early so they can enjoy them selves and clear out before dregs of southern MD wake up and filter in to ruin the night for everybody...so sit back on your porch in your rocker rattel'n your miserable cane and let them have fun...

Arested Devolpment
So apparently you can be arrested for being swole at the tiki bar.. first they kicked me out for wearing a tank top so i went and got a shirt from my car, then they decide im not aloud back in for no reason ?? and then I get arrested for trying to ask why .. for " Trespassing on a public street and failure to obey a lawful order when the paper work even says i complied and walked to the other side of the street .. !! Long story short America is dead we are no longer free, the 1st and 5th amendment mean absolutely nothing to Calvert County, and (Insert Curse word) the Tiki Bar solomons island DannyQuest will never again visit your swole hating establishment !!

You are sounding like a Diva. Everybody knows, the Sherrif's Deputies don't play on opening day of the Tiki Bar.
