Instagram Monday – In Texas, Even the Tiki is Bigger
Tagged: beach bar, home bar, personal bar, tiki bar
Everything’s bigger in Texas, so the saying goes, and when it comes to the backyard tiki bar of Ruben and Crystal Rios, those four words couldn’t ring more true. And it’s not just a bar – it’s a whole vilage, full of tiki trappings around every corner that have turned this backyard into an escape many resorts would be proud of. If I could start a new blog that featured just their backyard, I would. If I could actually write the...

Today’s Instagram Monday post features two of my favorite people who I have yet to meet in person. One is Ruben Rios, better known as Instagram user @rubenator71.

The line between tiki bars and beach bars can often get blurred, especially after a few cocktails, as both types of bars offer the same kind of escape we’re all searching for in a tropical atmosphere with a bunch of rum drinks floating around. In my “We Built Our Own Beach Bar” series, it disappears altogether. Tiki bars have been featured in this series before, most notably the one from Ruben and Crystal Rios. This week I feature...

Every once in a while, when news is slow on the beach bar front or I need an image for an article, I’ll head on over to Flickr and browse through their Creative Commons pics. Creative Commons is a license that photographers can use that allows their work to be distributed freely, as long as the required attribution and license requirements are met.
