Trader Sam's Shipwreck Shack is the home tiki bar of Brandon Kleyla, who served as the set decorator and show writer on both Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar in Anaheim and Trader Sam's Grog Grotto in Orlando.

Brandon and his wife decided their backyard needed a tiki bar, so that meant a full remodel. The patio was expanded to include a 5,500 gallon lagoon pool, waterfall, seating area, fire pit, and of course, a tiki bar. Without the legal restrictions of working on a public Disney property, Brandon was able to combine the lore of Trader Sam with some of his favorite films. The result is a story that wouldn't normally be seen on Disney property, incorporating Jaws, King Kong, and more.

Half of the bar is built from the sunken remains on the Orca, the boat from Jaws. The other half of the bar is built out of an old crate, similar to those seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The rest of the bar is ramshackled together in whatever the shipwrecked crew could find, and artifacts from their travels.

In addition to a Dole Whip machine, Trader Sam's Shipwreck Shack has a menu of 10 regular cocktails, including three non-alcoholic elixirs.

VooDoo Shanty is the home tiki bar of Matt and Kerry Brown in Bournemouth, on the southern coast of England. The space was built in July 2017 in an area adjacent to the living room of their home. Features include a 1950s bamboo bar counter, vintage Tongan tapa cloth, a mid century Danish drinks cabinet, vintage fishing nets and floats, and "Gillman" from The Creature From The Black Lagoon. The couple were inspired by their visits to tiki bars in the United States, and they hope to open their own someday; in the meantime, their home bar acts as their proof of concept as they entertain friends and family.

Tiki Pete's Exotic Imports is a home tiki bar in Henderson, Nevada, just outside of Las Vegas. It was built in March 2017. Inspired equally by the Jungle Cruise and Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland, the bar features props and decor reminiscent of forgotten expeditions, ancient curses, and potent libations from around the globe.

Ahu TongEriki is the home tiki bar of Erik, created in October 2015 in Lincoln, Nebraska. It is spread across every room of his apartment. The name is inspired by Erik's admiration of the Moai; Ahu Tongariki is the largest ahu platform on Rapa Nui, and it was a short spelling hop to Ahu TongEriki.

Erik is slowly collecting objects to fill his tikified space, with each room starting to have its own focus. The bedroom has palm-print walls lined with masks. The bathroom has a nautical theme. The living room walls are filling in with old tourist art, including a black velvet piece with hundreds of small bits of bamboo constructed into a fishing village scene. Small nooks are filled with tchotchkes and small framed photos of tiki locations. The vibe of the apartment is mid-century modern, with a goal to have the walls eventually filled in with bits of the South Pacific. Wood, bamboo and rattan furniture are being collected into the space where possible, and there is a growing collection of tropical plants. There are several citrus, sea-grape, cycad growing in pots. There are 14 species of palm trees between Erik's home and his office, it all started with a single palm he bought over a decade ago.

Rugger's Reef is the home tiki bar of Matt Hull, in Pinole, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. The bar was built in February 2017, in a room just off the dining room of Matt's house, with a large opening into the sun room. The name comes from Matt's combined love of rugby (he played for thirty years) and the movie Donovan's Reef. This is the third incarnation of Rugger's Reef; the first was at his home in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and the second was at his home in Sacramento, California.

The space is a traditional blend of Polynesian pop tiki and nautical, with a few island artifacts thrown in. There is bamboo flooring, the walls are covered with lauhala matting and trimmed with split bamboo, and the ceiling is decorated with three separate large tapa cloth prints. Fish floats and pufferfish lights hang above. The bar itself is a vintage rattan bar with an angled crescent shape, with rattan stools.

Matt uses the space to host small get-togethers, which then expand out into the adjacent large sun room, which has more vintage rattan furniture and some large vintage tiki carvings.

Pau Hana is the home tiki bar of Bill and Noel in Wexford, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh. It was built in their home in June 2014. The bar has pufferfish lights, tikis, original 1940s artwork, tropical flowers, floats, and thatch.

Charlie's Bar is a home tiki bar near downtown Los Angeles. It is named after the owner's 1936 Packard automobile, which in turn was named after the owner's father. The bar is a cozy section of the home's main living space, with Maori bark art, tiki signs, and hand carved reproductions of tiki-themed hotels.

TI-5335's Tiki Trooper Tavern is the home tiki bar of Ed Cook in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, just north of New Orleans. It was created in his backyard in September 2015.

The name comes from Ed's membership in the Star Wars costuming group, the 501st Legion, where he is known as TI-5335, an Imperial TIE Fighter pilot. The bar's backstory is that ace fighter pilot Kedex Bazzok, identification number TI-5335, survived the Galactic Civil War between the Rebellion and the Empire, and retired to a quiet backwater planet and opened a tiki bar, where he regales patrons with stories of his adventures. Scattered around the bar are mementoes of his service to the Empire, as well as tiki idols and local flora.

LilTiki Lagoon is the home tiki bar of Kim Nadal in San Luis Obispo. The bar was created in February 2017, poolside in the backyard of Kim's home. There is a firepit in a sandy beach in the front yard. The home also has beds available to stay for the night via Airbnb.

The Shark Bait Ooh Ha Ha Tiki Bar & Lauhala Lounge (Shark Bait Lounge for short) is the home tiki bar of Jeff & Amber Ellis. It was built in September 2009 in the basement of their 1956 brick ranch home in the Harvey Park neighborhood of southwest Denver. The name comes from the scene in Finding Nemo when Nemo is initiated by his tank-mates in the dentist's office. Inspiration for the bar has come from many sources, but mostly Disneyland and the Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale.

The color scheme is based on some vintage fabric remnants the couple purchased at Tiki Oasis in 2010. The main space is divided into two sections: the more nautical themed bar and galley, and the more traditional bamboo trimmed, and lauhala matted lounge. In the far corner of the lounge stands a 7-foot papier mach tiki the couple built in their 2-bedroom apartment when they first started living together. The lounge area also features a tropical tiki garden, and a Shag-esque mid-century modern nook.

Two additional rooms off the main space include a Skipper's Office, and a Volcano Room with active volcano that can be seen glowing through the dense vegetation of the tiki garden. The Shark Bait Lounge also features thunder and lightning effects, vibrating bar stools, and a video porthole. The bar is a living, breathing thing, changing frequently as the couple tinkers after work and on weekends, adding effects, upgrading sections, and refining the overall design.

Jeff and Amber enjoy cocktails in the bar on a regular basis. During the holidays they entertain close friends and family; and about twice a year they host bigger parties for their extended circle of friends. The lounge is also a regular stop on the Denver Tiki Home Bar Tour.

Navigator's Island is a home tiki bar in Allison Park, a suburb northeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was built in the home's basement in June 2016. It is a tiki bar and Adventurer's Club, drawing its name from the name sailors used to call Samoa. It is equal parts Indiana Jones, Jungle Cruise, and Don the Beachcomber. Features include a curved bar, wood burning fireplace, and diorama window looking out over an island scene subject to thunderstorms and volcanic eruptions.

Marlin's The Mainlander is the home tiki bar of Pat and Sara in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They created the bar in a trapezoidal closet/landing at the top of the basement stairs of their home in April 2016. The tiny 32"x35" space is partially occupied by a cooler, requiring supreme clear-headedness to navigate. Its bar/door and shelves were custom-built from reclaimed wood. Its impermanent design features battery-powered lighting affixed by Velcro and Command strips, decor hung from rope for minimal drilling, and an easily-removable Swiss Army knife of a door that sports hooks for bottle openers, towels, hats, novelty sunglasses, and even a water pistol for dealing with nasty customers.

The bar features a rotating menu of four cocktails, plus one homespun concoction which is always on the menu.

During the month of October, The Mainlander transforms into The Maniac, the better to terrify attendees of Pat and Sara's annual home-hosted horror film festival.
