Tiki Bar

Tikis Meeting Spot - Waikiki

Honolulu, Hawaii, United States

This bar & restaurant used to be named Da Big Kahuna (@2006-2015) and had the same tikis out front as today and the same decor (both inside and out) but skewed a bit more to the dive bar and nightclub side.

Not to be confused with Big Kahuna's Pizza (since 1994 and still running).

Da Big Kahuna was known for its fish bowl cocktail and for its large handled Tiki Farm mug.

The owners decided to expand and opened two locations in Florida (Fort Lauderdale in 2010-2016 and Jacksonville in 2012-2014) but eventually all three businesses closed.

Then the Waikiki location was renamed as Lava Tube, and opened @2018 under new ownership with less emphasis on being a nightclub and with a revamped food menu.

Around May of 2025, the name changed to Tikis Meeting Spot, although the decor and drink menu appear to be the same, so it appears to be yet another light re-branding or ownership change but not a complete overhaul.
