Hiphipahula's Hale 66
Palmdale, California, United States
Hi everyone, while I don’t believe a home tiki bar is ever complete as it’s always changing and rearranging. I’m finally naming my Tiki bar and posting completed photos of it, at least for now. Aloha to fun times, great cocktails and most of all -- wonderful friends to visit at “Hiphipahula’s Hale 66”!
Thank you to Ben Bassham & Son (the build, anything bamboo, grass & shelving.) Desert Grizzly Photography(RJ Reilly) awesome bar photos a few photos by me. Tom Morgan for electricity and bar name and John-O for electricity and encouragement.
This bar incorporates a ton of pieces I have collected over the years, including an original sign and booth from the Tonga Hut in North Hollywood where I worked as a bartender, a beautiful resin lamp from A-Frame (Anders Anderson), a set of Witco furniture, tiki carvings from Kirby and others, paintings from many talented artist friends, and several float lamps I've collected over the years.
The most recent addition and a cherry on top is the bartop itself, which is a resin and wood slab imported from Turkey and, as The Dude from The Big Lebowski would say: "Really ties the room together!"
I really do live at #66 and the play on that number is just too fun. Please pay me a visit I’m happy to host with good friends. Get Your Kicks At Hale 66!

John O and I helped Kelly string lights when she was building the bar. She has a fantastic collection and a great working bar with plenty of space to sling drinks!
