Harold's Tiki Lounge is a home tiki bar, created in February 2001 in Scottsdale, Arizona, in a covered, screened patio near the home's pool. The 325-square-foot space is accessible from the kitchen, family room, and master bedroom. It has seating for 14, houses a collection of tiki mugs numbering over 175, and has many carvings, pieces of artwork, and Polynesian decorations from the owners' travels. The owners love to entertain and make tiki drinks for friends, and have over 20 rums and other tiki drink ingredients on hand.

Toad's Grog Grotto is the home tiki bar of Heather and Terry Manning in Vancouver, B.C. It was created in December 2015 in the garage of their townhouse. The name comes from combining Terry's nickname "Toad" and Trader Sam's Grog Grotto, one of the couple's favorite places. The bar is quite small, fitting a maximum of seven or eight people at a time. A lot of the work on the bar was done by Rod Moore, owner of The Shameful Tiki Room, which is nearby. The room is decorated with items from the couple's collection.

Sacky & Geeble's Hanalei Hideaway is the home tiki bar of Iain and Katie in Reigate, just south of London in the UK. The bar was created in November 2015 and is connected to the living room of their home. The space is small, but jampacked, including a dining area, two cabinets to hold their tiki mug collection, a wide selection of rums from around the globe, an array of Polynesian artwork and artifacts, a surfboard, shrunken heads, and a large collection of framed matchbooks from bygone tiki bars. The cozy, intimate, and dimly-lit space gets a lot of use, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights with friends. Katie says, "a Samoan Fog Cutter or two later and you could be in the south seas circa 1955."

The Mauna Loa Lounge is the home tiki bar of John Trivisonno & Betty Ciccone in Montreal. It was created in April 2010. The bar's name was inspired by the RCA Living Stereo LP "Music of the Islands" by The Mauna Loa Islanders.

The bar is in their living room, which has floor-to-ceiling glass windows and several mature trees outside. Since a traditional, dark tiki bar wouldn't work in this space, the couple instead aimed for a blend of mid-century modern and tiki. The time of day or the season of the year can change the feel of the room, thanks to the large windows bringing the outdoors in.

The bar has several tikis, including one by California carver CC Rider, two rescued from the Kona Kai Motel in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, and a tiny tiki from Tahiti. The main bar itself is a 1960s era mid-century modern bar, likely Danish or Canadian. A second 1960s bar, by Danish designers Erik Buch & Paul Heltborg, is used for storage and display of some of their tiki mugs and other vintage barware. A third mid-century modern bar, Norwegian this time, is opened up at the other end of the living room for larger parties. A vintage 1960s/70s overhead light above the bar was originally in John's parent's basement bar. The barware and decor continue the mid-century modern and tiki theme.

The Mauna Loa Lounge is used for cocktails in the evening, regular gatherings with a group of friendly cocktail enthusiasts, and some larger gatherings.

Lisa's Funky Flamingo Lounge is the home tiki bar of lizerlu and her husband in Conroe, Texas. The lounge was created in August 2014, and is in the dining room of their home, which had been underused. A vintage tiki bar with two stools and a mirror was found at a vintage shop for $250, and then a set of vintage rattan furniture was found in Florida for $300. The furniture was covered in fabric with pink flamingos, which inspired the bar's name. The couple are rum lovers, and tend to have about 20 bottles on hand at a time. On Fridays lizerlu makes Mai Tais for her husband and herself at the bar, and they also host visitors. Lizerlu is well known amongst her friends for her rum tours, complete with a map.

Kapu Tiki Lounge & Garden is the home tiki bar of Peter & Kelly Flessas, who created it in their Brookfield, Wisconsin home in September 2005. The Lounge is in the basement, and the Garden is in the backyard.

About the name, Peter says: "A relative of ours is very religious. She's a great woman. However, she takes exception to all of our Tiki idols asking us why we keep graven images in our home? I told her we don't worship them in that way (only when we're having cocktails!) In any event, I named our bar "Kapu Tiki" meaning Forbidden Tiki in honor of our dear relative. We love her."

Peter and Kelly were inspired to create their home tiki bar by visits to the Trader Vic's in Chicago, they wanted a similar experience closer to home. They were also inspired by their love of Disneyland, which led to them to incorporate some Adventureland elements in their backyard, including a 3/4 scale waste bin and various reproduced signage from the park.

Peter is the bassist for the Milwaukee surf band The Revomatics, who often performed at Lucky Joe's Tiki Room. When the bar closed its doors in October of 2015, the owner allowed him to take home decor from the bar, including masks, signage, large sections of matting, bamboo and thatch, and the outside sign, all of which are now incorporated into the Kapu Tiki. Their favorite memento from Lucky Joe's is the booth that Peter and Kelly sat at whenever they visited the bar, which now sits proudly in their home tiki bar. Peter often jokes with friends that Lucky Joe's Tiki Room never really went away because it's now in their basement.

The Lounge is their refuge from the long Wisconsin winters. They spend many evenings there spinning vinyl, drinking cocktails and enjoying the escapism that a Tiki bar offers. In the spring and summer the backyard explodes with Tiki, with an annual luau with a custom cocktail menu, and sometimes bands.

The Flora Lounge is the basement hideaway for owners Lisa and Corey. It was created in July 2008. The space had always been a display area for Corey's growing collection of carvings, art and mugs, but it didn't truly become a tiki bar until he built the bar from scratch with the help from a friend and ditched the big screen TV. Corey took inspiration from the wall decor and arrangement of Disneyland's Trader Sam's, with segmented well panels that each have a theme or similar grouped items. One portion of wall display pays homage to important exotica composers while another pays tribute to Heyerdahl's Kon Tiki expedition. Corey's assembled numerous shadowboxes and displays that house menus and other ephemera from tiki meccas such as Kahiki Supper Club, The Luau in Beverly Hills, and Chin Tiki, as well as Missouri tiki locales such as Trader Vic's in St. Louis and The Tropics in Kansas City.

They get regular use out of The Flora Lounge hosting parties for KC-based members of a local tikiphiles group, founded by Corey, dubbed MOKAN-TIKI. The group is over 100 members strong, all from the surrounding region from Omaha/Lincoln to St Louis/Chicago and Tulsa/Little Rock.

The Lagoon is the home tiki bar of Jonny and Rebecca in Glendale, Wisconsin. It was created in March 2017 in the basement of their home. There are two rooms and a bathroom. The Blue Lagoon Room houses Enchanted Tiki Room items, a growing mug collection, and has seating for eight people. The Red Lagoon Room has more random tiki decor, and has band instruments set up to play.

Kilauea Cove is the home tiki bar of Mark Boszko in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The bar was created in August 2016. It is in a common area in the center of the basement of his home, adjacent to a home theater screening room.

The walls are covered in reed fencing and bamboo trim, with additional carved and stained trim around the laundry room door. Custom liquor shelves were made for the corner, and the nook features shelves for the tiki mugs that have bamboo edges made to fit. A 12" amber fish float lamp hangs near the liquor shelves. The mugs hang over a small rolling bar cart. Some small fish floats, simulated torches, framed exotica albums, prints by Shag and Dawn Frasier, and tiki bar menus decorate the space.

The most dramatic feature of the room, which inspired the room's name, is an elaborate special effects volcano. Addressable RGB LED strips adorn the front and back of each tiki mug shelf, hidden from direct view by the bamboo edging. More LEDs hide inside rattan balls hung above the nook. These LEDs, in combination with a smoke generator and a sound chip, are all controlled by a Raspberry Pi microcomputer. During idle mode, there is soft lighting and soothing island sounds. A button on the control panel switches into mix mode, where the lights below the bottom shelf get bright enough to allow Mark to see what he's mixing on the top of the bar cart. When guests come over, a safety switch can be toggled to allow the use of the red button to trigger eruption mode, and start the animated light, sound, and smoke extravaganza.

The bar gets used most often for mixing drinks to be consumed while watching a move in the adjacent theater, but guests also tend to give the volcano a workout.

Pineapple Sal's Dirty Tiki is the home tiki bar of Betty and Delisa Burnstadt. It is in an out-building on their property, half tiki bar, half laundry room. The name is inspired by how filthy the out-building was when they first bought their home, their beloved dog Salvador, their impressive collection of pineapple-shaped bowls, and their great fondness for dive bars.

The bar has a small refrigerator that is kept well-stocked. There is seating for about 10 people. There is a growing collection of menus from tiki bars they have visited, and tiki mugs. The bar is used for entertaining and unwinding after work. They would eventually love to be able to host their actor, musician and comedian friends for small audiences.

The Tiki Room is the home tiki bar of Chad and Jenn W. in the basement of their Waterloo, Ontario home. It was created in November 2013. The straightforward name is an homage to Frankie's Tiki Room in Las Vegas.

The bar itself has a thatched awning and bamboo bar stools, shelves for spirits, and a beer tap. The room is decorated with color-changing lights, a pufferfish lamp, shelves displaying a tiki mug collection, a grass mat ceiling, and other tiki and nautical paraphernalia. The room is wired with speakers hooked up to a '70s era turntable. Many Mai Tais have been served to friends and family in the Tiki Room since its inception.

The Cosmic Coconut is the home tiki bar of Angela and Jason Tor, created in July 2015 in the basement of their Northampton, Massachusetts home. The bar incorporates Angela's love of coconuts and Jason's love of astronomy. The idea to convert their basement to a home tiki bar came during a 2014 visit to Three Dots and a Dash in Chicago.

The Tors have aimed to create an immersive experience that stimulates all the senses, with thoughtful lighting, and small discoveries to be made on each visit. The couple hold a party in the bar on the first Friday of every month, and have impromptu parties with friends who drop in as well.
