Tiki Underground - Cuyahoga Falls
Date: Unknown
Not the best of ideas, but visited right after Porco Lounge (I had a DD, so relax). The rear bar isn't of the same quality as inside, but scored a bar seat after not a long wait. Inside is fantastic and the live music was a welcome surprise. Bartenders were busy, but chatty. Enjoyed my 2 cocktails, 1st was a Mai Tai and 2nd had dry ice.
Would def hit again!
Porco Lounge & Tiki Room

Early bird special @ open. Sat at bar and had a fantastic time talking to Shawn and our bartender. Got the whole backstory, history and what not.
Drinks were done very well and I will revisit whenever I'm in Cleveland. I got up at 330am just to catch a flight to insure I could be there at opening.

Hit it while visiting the Father in Law, a COVID causality, which blows, that was the best part of the trip.
Frankie's Tiki Room

Tiki Dive...strong ass drinks. Go early to avoid the cig smoke. Worth the visit and I'll be back.
The Golden Tiki
Date: Unknown
1 visit summer of 2020, wow, this place is fantastic. Better than Frankie's, also more expensive. But damn, will hit again.
The Hidden Idol

Hit the OG location back in 2017, with I Believe in Genie on the screen. I wish this place hadn't moved and then closed. It was pretty damn sweet.

Several Visits over the years. Food is great, drink menu is pretty limited, but also great....and they will make drinks to order off-menu.
High & Dry Rum Bar

Went there once, not really tiki, but some interesting takes on tiki drinks.

Howie's Tiki

One visit before they closed 7-8 years ago, snagged a mug. Only had 2 drinks and they were OK. Nothing to write home about, but it was worth the effort, just wish we'd gone more before they were gone.
Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29

About 6 years ago, prefered Tiki Tolteca, but would go back and tap this again.

Same day as the Alibi, but WAY WAY better. Loved it, several mugs, would hit again.
Tiki Tolteca
Date: Unknown
Was there years ago pre-covid before it closed, about 6 years I think. It was the best and we went twice in a weekend, got the mug. RIP
The Alibi
Date: Unknown
Hit up their anniversary party. 1st time there, was an interesting experience. Drinks were so-so, but this more of a lounge. Glad we went when it wasn't busy as I hear this place is usually packed. Mugs, posters etc...got it all.
Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar
Date: Unknown
Worth a lunch visit. Food was good, drinks were about par (which was disappointing), they always have mugs. If you can get indoor seating it'll be a better experience. But outdoors wasn't bad.
The Grass Skirt - San Diego
Date: Unknown
Not the best, but serviceable. Drinks are good, haven't had the food. If in PB worth a stop, but be prepared for a wait, the bigger the party...the longer the wait.
Trader Mort's Liquor & Deli
Date: Unknown
I mean, it's a half-assed liquor store...but they are Tiki and do have branded mugs...which is so weird. Right next to Half Moon Inn, and on the way to garbage Bali Hai. If going that way and you want a mug, stop in, takes 5 minutes.
Humphrey's Half Moon Inn

My wife loves this place, and so do I. Huge Hawaiian vibes, rooms are great, location is great, venue is fantastic. Join their rewards club to get a better discount.
Bali Hai Restaurant
Date: Unknown
As a long time San Diegan resident (before I moved) I'd been to the BH so many times since 2004. I went in 1/2023 and dear lord, this place has gone to crap. The drinks are bottom barrel garbage, the view is great the food is OK. If you hit this, do it at lunch and don't waste an evening here. It's nearly garbage.

Wow. I mean...WOW! This place hit it on all cylinders. As an expansion of the Thursday Kindred Tiki night, everything about this place was great. From the backstory, to the design and most importantly the drinks. We had a party of 8, and no one had a bad drink...and we shared with each other. 10/10...will revisit as often as we can.
