Kanaloa was a UK-based chain of tiki bars. This location in Newcastle opened in August 2012 inside of the Tiger Tiger nightclub complex, and was more of a nightclub than a lounge. The space was designed by CheekyTiki. Kanaloa had a bridge entrance, into a room lined with bac-bac matting, with a bamboo-covered bar, and rattan seating. A cluster of glass floats decorated the ceiling. There was a cover charge for entry some evenings.

The space appears to have reverted back to a Tiger Tiger nightclub sometime around 2014-2015? and then later converted to Shoreditch in March 2020.

In addition to the original Kanaloa location in London (now closed), there were locations in Cardiff (closed), Portsmouth (closed), Leeds (closed), Glasgow (closed), and Croydon (closed).
