No-Bikini Atoll is the home tiki bar of Noland and Sarah in Reno, Nevada. They created the bar in a small room in their basement in June 2017. The bar's name is a wink to an old Sailor Jerry tattoo. The couple has been collecting for 15 years, and this 144-square-foot space has been the first time they've been able to decorate a room in their home into something cohesive.

They have pulled inspiration from several commercial tiki bars of importance to them: dim lighting and plastic foliage inspired by Portland's Jasmine Tree and The Alibi, intimacy like Los Angeles' Tiki-Ti, nautical nods to San Francisco's Smuggler's Cove, and layered mystery like Southern California's Bahooka and Las Vegas' Frankie's Tiki Room.

The room has a netted ceiling with floats, vintage leis, and other flotsam.

The Hala Kahiki in Derby is the home tiki bar of Neil & Carla in Derbyshire (approx 1.5hrs by Train from London) UK. They built the bar in the back of their tiny two-bedroom home in February 2016, in a 4m x 5m extension added onto the house. Three trips to Oahu, Hawaii planted the seed for the couple's love of tiki, starting with a bottle of Trader Vic's Mai Tai Mix brought home from the islands, and continuing with a quest to make Mai Tais at home, and find them on menus out in the world. All of this seeking led the couple to realize that if they wanted a great tiki bar, they'd have to build one themselves, at home.

The bar itself is on wheels, letting it be stowed against the wall when not in use. There is a 1961 Rock Ola Regis Jukebox, and a phallic bottle opener. The couple has built up a liquor collection, and they're also proud of the food they serve, including cheesecake. The couple love to entertain friends, opening their bar on Friday afternoons through to Sunday evening, they are delighted when newcomers first realise it's not an outdoor beach bar.

Since attending their first Tiki Kon in Portland 2018 they have welcomed Tiki travellers to their bar from across the world.

Hale Manu is the home tiki bar of Mo and Justin Bird. They created the bar in their Nashville, Tennessee home in April 2012. The room had a major upgrade in 2016 when they covered the walls and ceiling around the bar with bamboo, reed and lauhala matting. In addition to the actual bar, the room houses their tiki mug collection and a seating area. The bar itself began as an ordinary bar that the couple stripped down, clad in bamboo, and added carved tiki corners by Lake Tiki. Lake Tiki also made a Hale Manu sign for the room's entrance. The couple found a Witco bar with matching stools and wall hanging on Craigslist, which now serve as a buffet. Craigslist also yielded three Witco knockoff tiki head stools which are used at the bar.

Things are always changing, however...most recently they acquired a giant Papua New Guinea mask and some of the mug shelving had to come down to accommodate it -- but totally worth it!

The Birds love to make drinks for themselves and their friends (favorites are Navy Grog and Jet Pilot), play records, and have an impromptu dance party now and again.

Tiki Palace is the home tiki bar of the Palazzo family: Alex, Melissa and Nick. It is in the covered back patio of their home in Granada Hills, California. They converted the 21'x12' space into a tiki bar in June 2016. The name is a nod to their last name; Palazzo means "palace" in Italian.

The bar is surrounded on two sides by the house, and on a third side they have built a movable sliding wall that is closed when the bar is in use. The movable wall is covered with paintings drawn by the family's daughter and inspired by The Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. The hand-built bar, ceiling, and part of two walls are all covered in thatch, the other walls are covered with abaca cloth and reed. The bar seats seven comfortably, and a lounge area seats an additional four. A half wall with a counter looking out to the yard can handle four more standing patrons. There are several tikis, tiki masks, and a puffer fish. The exterior walls are covered in bamboo with some bamboo trim running along the ceiling that separates the the patio from the yard. At night the bar is lit with warm yellow lighting.

Several times a week, the family sits in the lounge area to talk, listen to tiki music, and occasionally have a Mai Tai or two. About every 4 to 6 weeks they throw a party with tiki cocktails, beer, and wine. For larger parties the lounge area becomes the food area for a buffet, and the lounge seating and picnic tables are moved into the backyard, which is lit with string lights.

The bar is a work in progress and will probably never be finishedthey are always on the lookout for more Polynesian decor, with plans to add another decorative light and mask from Oceanic Arts. There are also plans to extend the capacity by adding pavers in the backyard for outdoor seating.

Ken's Tiki Lounge is the home tiki bar of Ken and Gloria, in Lomita, California, near Los Angeles. It was created in 2004 in a converted garage in the couple's home. It was inspired by the very earliest days of tiki-themed restaurants, and the couple has sought to preserve that style as much as possible. The lounge contains a bar down one side, a hidden home theater setup, and extensive mug collections. It also contains some mirrored balls and disco lights in a nod to Kelbo's ballroom. They are avid collectors of Polynesian art and artifacts, and are especially proud of the many pieces recovered from now defunct tiki palaces such as Kelbo's, Bahooka, Trader Vic's, Don the Beachcomber, and several other lesser known establishments. It may alternately contain a rattan dining set or pretzel furniture depending on the event. Aside from the electrical wiring, all construction and decoration inside and out was done by Ken and Gloria. They entertain family and friends in the space, and it is their little hideaway at home. Fatutu, a Tiki tOny original tiki, sits atop the roof and welcomes visitors to "Ken's Tiki Lounge: the best little place no one ever heard of!"

The Bamboozled Bungalow is the home tiki bar of Tom Hemmen and Britta "Jeanie" Duval Hemmen in Seattle, Washington. It was built by Larry "Big Bamboo Shaw" and Ben James of Midgard Construction in May 2016. It features a 1930s teak and rattan bar front, guests walk down to a half floor of tiki-decorated space, which opens onto the backyard and a party deck.

The Lumi-La Lounge is the home tiki bar of Jennifer, Gillian and Kenn in La Mesa, California. They built the bar in the sun room of their house in July 2010; "lumi" is Hawaiian for room, and "la" is the word for sun. The space features art from many local Southern California artists, and artists carving in Hawaii. The physical bar itself is re-worked from Jennifer and Kenn's wedding altar pieces. The Lumi-La features custom t-shirts for contest winners, a custom designed cocktail, an outdoor patio, custom carvings, moldings, floorboards and picture frames all carved by Kenn.

The Lumi-La Lounge is where the rum flows, the ukulele plays, and Polynesian attire reigns. If the sun is out, the Lumi-La is likely hosting a pig roast, a game of corn-hole or just general frivolity and libations.

Kreepytiki Home Bar is the home tiki bar of Todd and Pamela Francis “originally“ in Charleston, South Carolina. We created the bar in our living room in February 2015, inspired by the works of Jeff "Beachbum" Berry. Nowadays we are located in Lexington, SC. We have a fully stocked rum bar with many homemade syrups and liqueurs, a tiki cocktail book library, art work and quite a few shelves of tiki mugs and bitters. During our tiki cocktail parties we project tiki themed movies onto our large format movie screen in the backyard.

Aotearoa Tiki Lounge is the home tiki bar of Brian (Mr. LDT) and JoAnne (KeKona) in Columbia, Missouri. It was built in the backyard of their home in November 2016; the first iteration of their home tiki bar opened in 2005. They've pulled inspiration from their travels to tiki bars around the world, and especially from their travels to New Zealand, the Land of the Long White Cloud.

The Below Decks is the home tiki bar of Steven D. Matthews, in Los Angeles. The bar is in the former garage and patio of his home, and has now become the home's living room, with all entertaining beginning and ending there. The bar's focus is cocktails, well made ones, drawing inspiration from the works of cocktail experts Beachbum Berry, Dale DeGroff, Gaz Regan and Martin Cate. The bar's name is a nod to The Sailing Ship Columbia at Disneyland. Design-wise, Steven's inspirations include The Enchanted Tiki Room, Swiss Family Treehouse, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Disneyland; Tiki-Ti; Trader Vic's; and Oceanic Arts. The current canine mascot of The Below Decks is his sweet Veda-Roux.

The Storm Shelter is the home tiki bar of George Jenkins and Chris Kridler in Rockledge, Florida, on the Space Coast. The bar was built in July 2014, in the basement of their home, looking out onto their tropical backyard.

About the name, George says, "The name was the result of a couple of influences. Chris is a storm chaser so she is very aware of the weather. She and her boss always kidded about opening a place where one did the cooking and the other did the bar. Here in Florida, we have these sirens that go off prior to a lightning storm and after it is safe again. I suggested that giving a free drink whenever these sirens went off would trigger a Pavlovian response every afternoon when the storms came through. And it all finally came together during the 2014 hurricane season passed through and we experienced 4 hurricanes passing through the area. Various friends were displaced and had to "hunker down" at our place. So we became the "shelter from the storm", hence, The Storm Shelter was born!"

The 10-foot-long bar itself was built custom by Tiki Mike and features masks carved by Tiki Bosko, Ed's Heads, and DeTiki, with drawer pulls by Crazy Al Evans. The borders surrounding the masks were made by Chris. The bar top and background for the masks is copper, colored with various bleach effects. The railings are painted to look like brass, but they are copper pipes salvaged from a U.S. Navy ship. The corbels holding the heavy rails were salvaged from a 100-year-old house in the neighborhood. The look of the bar is meant to suggest an ocean motif, as well as coordinate with the European blue felt and brass railings of the adjacent pool table.

George was the managing partner of The Straw Hat Barmen, a craft cocktail company that served as cocktail coordinators for The Hukilau and other events. The bar houses over 300 bottles of liquor, and the fridge is always stocked with fresh juice and homemade syrups. Visitors to the bar are sure to be invited to try something George has been working on, possibly served in a fire bowl made by Chris.

The walls of the bar feature artwork from well-known artists including DeTiki, Tiki Hana, Tiki Mango, Robert Jimenez, Cindy Raschke, Sooz Momofuko, Rick Piper, Hassan Peterson, and Lori Prell, as well as some of Chris' award-winning storm photography. There is a fork and spoon rescued from Julian's Steakhouse, postcards from the Samoa and George's Steakhouse in Cocoa Beach, and a Pagan Island movie poster signed by Nani Maka. There is a collection of tiki mugs, including some made by Chris.

The Storm Shelter is always open to guests who come through the area. It has hosted some legendary Halloween parties as well as fancy dinner parties, Brevard tiki gatherings, and billiards nights.

Mischief Motu is the home tiki bar of Rob and Jeanine in Redlands, California. With three generations of the family now living under one roof, Rob and Jeanine laid claim to their dining room as a dedicated spot for rum-soaked R&R in October 2016. Mischief Motu blends the couple's love of tropical/jungle escapism and Day of the Dead and tops it with a garnish of Disney magic. There is an additional outdoor patio lounge, Headwaters Hideaway, with a broader Adventureland theme and a focus on the Jungle Cruise.

Jeanine especially enjoys the opportunity to flex creative muscles while building and evolving the room's layers, which Rob rewards with tasty adult beverages.
