Home Tiki Bars
Vulcania
Round Rock, Texas, United States
A small 12' x 12' bar with BIG personality. Vulcania is filled with unique items from my two passions, Trader Vic's and 20K Leagues Under the Sea. Some of the unique items include the original front doors to Trader Vic's Dallas, Tiki's from various TV locations, Autographs of cast and crew of Disney's 20K Leagues movie and seaweed from the Disney World 20K Leagues ride lagoon just to name a few.
Sunset Fogcutter
San Francisco, California, United States
Our small 8' x 12' bar in SF's foggy Sunset district.
PaPa Nui
Charleston, South Carolina, United States
Our home bar which was built by the loving hands of friends and family consist of one wing of a Polynesian themed guest house. It contains our collection of artifacts and art from the South Pacific as well as vintage and more modern tiki mugs. Many of the pieces are from PNG and harken back to my grandfather's service there during WWII. When the purple ship's light is on, the bar is open to all.
Sneaki Tiki Bar
Edmonds, Washington, United States
It’s a 20 year old 10x10 garden shed I converted into a backyard tiki bar instead of tearing it down. It’s just a few years old now. I am still going through some iterations, but my basement tiki bar is starting to side track me
Akua
Orlando, Florida, United States
Inspired by our trips to Hawaii, Akua (roughly translates to "Island Spirit" in Hawaiian) - is the home bar of Justin Peterson and Erin Sullivan. Work was mostly completed by April 2020. The bar area is part of the larger lounge / living room, inside our 1954 mid-century modern home in west Orlando. Featuring a hand-painted mural, custom shelves, mugs, and artwork & nicknacks from Oahu.
Bloody's
Portland, Oregon, United States
Bloody's is my home tiki bar. I started small versions of it in 2006, but I'm currently finishing a more permanent home on my deck. It over looks a small subtropical garden and koi pond, and has a smaller tiki hut for watching the fish and sipping beverages.
Tatooiniki
Maplewood, New Jersey, United States
Not that long ago, in a neighborhood not that far away… Tatooiniki started with an impulsive purchase of a large, beach-themed, inlaid-wood bar top—salvaged from a South Jersey mansion—in 2014, shortly after we moved to the Jersey ‘burbs from Brooklyn with our family.
We had nowhere to install it at that point, so it sat in a corner of our garage draped in some moving blankets. A couple of years later, once we had done some work to make our formerly-leaky basement watertight, we began the process of designing a bar around our bar top. Peter began building in earnest in 2018. The bar made its debut Labor Day weekend 2018 and has hosted monthly parties ever since, even as its decor and furnishings are constantly evolving.
Mango Mary's Tiki-la Bar
Bloomington, Minnesota, United States
A small home bar where we enjoy time with family and friends and share our love of Tiki and Tequila. Our bar contains a lot of tiki love and memorabilia from our travels so we consider it to be "Eclectiki".
When my husband surprised me with a tiki bar for my birthday, it reignited my interest in tiki and began a long, never ending quest. It's definitely a work in progress.
The Hunahuna Hut
Maricopa, Arizona, United States
The Hunahuna Hut is the home tiki bar of James and Marshell located just south of Phoenix, Arizona. They created the bar in a primary bedroom of their home in June 2016. "Hunahuna" is an old Marquesan term for "cleverly hidden." The Hut is a relaxing retreat, filled with the colorful custom made tiki lamps built by Trader Tobin Tiki Lamps, sounds of vintage Exotica albums, a fountain of trickling water, and the clank of classic rum cocktails. The Hunahuna Hut is wrapped in bamboo, lauhala, and carved wood pieces throughout. The bar also features a fiber optic starlight ceiling with overhanging vegetation. The freestanding bar and fully stocked backbar are enhanced by a wall designed to look like a dismantled ship interior. This nautical wall includes a tiki-appropriate monitor, hidden behind two portholes that display scenes of the setting sun along the coast of an exotic island. The Hunahuna Hut is proudly featured in the 2023 book Polynesiacs: Tiki at Home, by Tiki Tom-Tom.
The Jungle Lounge
Gray, Tennessee, United States
Opened in June 2015.
The Jungle Lounge is the home tiki bar of Russell and Kathryn Bennett in Gray, Tennessee, a rural town in the the state's Tri-Cities region. The space is a 8'x12' room created when they enclosed part of their deck -- two walls are screened-in, and the other two are covered in bamboo matting. The name is a nod to Disney's Jungle Cruise, a particular favorite of the Disney- and tropical-loving couple, who grew up in Tampa in the 1970s. The couple did the work themselves, including carved trim and masks (Bennett is an art teacher). The decor includes pieces by a late artist friend, and items collected during their travels, including Polynesian restaurant menus, mugs, carvings, and Disneyana.
While the space does not have an actual bar component, it does provide a "no stress" zone for the couple, where they can sit, or doze, talk, sip a drink, and listen to Exotica and space pop music.
The Hollywood Lanai
Los Angeles, California, United States
The Hollywood Lanai is the home tiki bar of Todd Hawkins and Michelle Perez in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. They created the bar in the living room of their Hollywood apartment in October 2016. The couple wanted to show that even in an apartment or other small space, doing a tiki bar is possible. The Hollywood Lanai is in a 3'x4' corner, and based around a built-in bookshelf which houses some of their mug collection. The bar can sit two people, and was built by Bamboo Ben, Adrian Eustaquio, and Todd. The decor is classic mid-century Polynesian pop style with Disney influence and features works from many well-known tiki artists. Though the bar is small, the couple is able to entertain a large number of people in their living room and backyard. The name is a nod to their storied neighborhood; until recent construction obstructed the view, they were able to see the Hollywood sign from their living room window. The couple also has a portable version of the Hollywood Lanai that they take on the road to tiki events; the couple won "best drink" at the 2017 Tiki Caliente event.
