Silverlake Tiki Island
Los Angeles, California, United States
This is the home tiki bar of Sven Kirsten (Author of The Book of Tiki and other works), overlooking the Silverlake reservoir in the center of Los Angeles.
Rather than a single room, Sven's entire Silverlake house is a dedicated museum to Tiki. From the Leroy Schmaltz Moai carving in his front yard, to the dozens of swag lamps on his front porch, Witco furnishings, Spanish Tiki Mug collection, and original artworks spread throughout his home -- Sven has truly created a tropical oasis in the heart of Los Angeles.
More recently, Sven splits his time between a new residence in Palm Springs and Silverlake, but when Palm Springs becomes unbearably hot, he comes here to chill out.
