Home Tiki Bars
The Humuhumu Room
Seattle, Washington, United States
The Humuhumu Room was a teeny, tiny little enclave -- only 7' by 9', with lowish ceilings. It was the home bar of Humuhumu (Michelle), creator of Critiki and Ooga-Mooga.
There was a whole lot of stuff in the space: a bar with a sink & small refrigerator, a fountain, seating for five or six, and three almost-life-size palm trees. The most people Humu ever had in the Humuhumu Room was ten full-sized adults, not counting her behind the bar.
The Hawai'ian word for sewing is "humuhumu"; the Humuhumu Room also doubled as Humu's sewing room. Her vintage fold-up sewing machine table served as the central cocktail table. The room's name became Humu's own nickname, and it has stuck ever since.
The Humuhumu Room closed in February 2003, when Humu moved out of the house it was built in. She currently resides in San Francisco and has a newer home tiki bar, Balhi Ha'i, which made its debut in 2011.

The Tiki Room
Tigard, Oregon, United States
Bedroom over garage with 2 walk in closets was converted into my "tiki room" beginning in 2011 and has progressed steadily since. Over the years I've been able to add a 6 ft tiki from Thatch Tiki Bar when it closed around 2013, an original Leeteg, matching mid century marquesean style ceramic lamps from Hawaii, a 1951 Capehart phono/record player, a mid century PNG house plank, a lighted Leilani Hawaiian Rum advertising display, all 3 original August Holland tiki prints with matching mugs, United Airlines Hawaii tiki, 2 mid century rattan couches, original carved posts from The Maikai and Kon Kai (Phila), carved plank of a Sneaky Tiki from Harvey's, over 400 tiki mugs, rare menus and many other items.
