Tiki Docks in Port Orange officially opened on Monday, November 25, 2024, taking over the location of the former Fysh Bar & Grill at 3633 S. Ridgewood Ave.

Tiki Docks Bar and Grill has three locations currently: Riverview, Port Orange, and St. Petersburg, FL.

Of the three, this location might have the least tiki decor, but the food and cocktail menu seem to be much the same.

Originally, this bar opened on October 10th, 2022 and was located in the basement at 1583 1st Avenue East, Shakopee, MN, in the Shakopee House Restaurant.

It was there for less than a year...

Both the restaurant and bar closed on September 30, 2023.

On October 24th, 2023 the bar re-opened in the back of Tequila Butcher in Chanhassen, MN.

This bar was located at the Radisson Hotel Duluth-Harborview from 2022 - 2023.

It replaced the JJ Astor restaurant which opened back in 2010.

There was also a sister location (now closed as well) in St. Paul.

Open from approximately late October 2022 through May 2025, this small tiki bar was situated in The Apostle Supper Club restaurant in West downtown St. Paul, Minnesota (which was across the street from the Minnesota Wild NHL Hockey club).

This modest space had one custom Tiki mug "The Goalie", which looks suspiciously like the GeekiTiki Jason Vorhees mug, though this version is labeled "Apostle", bears the red and green colors of the Wild hockey team, and is heavier and much more substantial. And he's holding a hockey stick, naturally. The incised brand on the mug bottom states "Purpose Restaurants".

This mug was served with the "False Eyedoll" drink, composed of Rumhaven Coconut Rum, House Rum Blend, Peach Schnapps, Lychee, and Mango.

Local media at the time stated: "That goalie glass is not a Halloween/Jason ref, it's available for purchase anytime for $30 and includes your first drink. Find classics like a Mai Tai and a Pain Killer on the menu, but also more creative takes like Pond Hockey Royale and Saint Paul Grog. Drinks hover around $12-13 and bar food includes fried Spam tacos, pickle rollups, and a Kalua pulled pork sandwich with fries."

*NOTE: There was a second location in Duluth that was open from 2022-2023, but is also now closed.

Pat's restaurant was opened in November of 1960. It was a Hawaiian/tropical restaurant with an Irish twist. The owners were Pat and Iris Hallaran.

Hallaran described it as "a combination of driftwood and dreams".

The building seated 400-500 diners.

It's interior included aged redwood, driftwood, and beachcomber decor, especially glass fish floats hanging from the ceiling.

Furniture was rattan and wicker.

Large glass windows opened out on scenic views.

Although it did not have tikis and tiki art and would not be thought a terribly tiki location by most tikiphile standards, they did serve tropical and tiki drinks in tiki vessels, including some made especially for this location by Polynesian Pottery and Daga.

In addition to the restaurant, there was a hotel, shop, offices, and bungalows on the property.

They were also known for their mynah birds, which were kept in a series of large cages on premises.

Years later after the closing of the restaurant, the entire interior was white-washed, changing the look from the expanse of redwood timber seen in early photographs. The property and hotel are still under the Pat's name but appear to be functioning as vacation rentals.

Circa 1962 - 1992.

Originally named Joy Tang when opened at 212-17 26th Avenue, in the Bay Terrace Shopping Center Bayside Queens, New York 11360.

Served Polynesian, Cantonese, and Szechuan food and had a separate cocktail lounge.

Host was Pat Lai.

This was one in a small chain of locations, including Chan's Dragon Inn (Ridgefield) and Chan's Waikiki (Paramus).

This location opened in the 70s.

Located at Route 17 & 202 in Mahwah, New Jersey, Chan's Hawaii Inn touted Chinese, American, and Polynesian cuisine. They had a separate "South Sea Cocktail Lounge".

Hosts were Bing Gin and Jerry Chin.

Closed in 1983.

Open since at least 2010.

The Splash Bar is the poolside bar at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, across from the Westin Moana Surfrider Resort in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii.

The bar is decorated with tikis and artwork by Nick Kuchar (who was hired to re-brand the bar in 2017).

Winner of the Hale Aina GOLD award presented by Honolulu Magazine for Best Bar Food for 3 years running (2023-2025), Splash Bar combines great food and live entertainment, all in a convenient poolside setting.

Prior to becoming the Luau in 1967, this location was home to Louie's Golden Dragon for many years.

Located on the southwest corner of 8th and Grove streets.

The Luau did not last long and the building was leveled in June 1972 to make room for a new downtown mall.

The Delamar Hotel next to the restaurant, with its Mansard roof, was built as a mansion home for banker C.W. Moore in 1879. Its imminent demise upset people much more than that of the Luau, but even the old mansion could not evade the wrecking ball. Today, there is nothing left of what's shown in the photo below...

Opened in October 20th, 1974. Located at the Terrace Shopping Center in space 22T.

Under the management of Charles Lee of Dallas, owner. Decorated with bamboo, thatch, tapa cloth, sea grass, and palm wood tables and mats.

Photo with young women below is from a local modeling agency using the interior of the restaurant as the backdrop for an ad (1977).

No longer open today, but difficult to find what year it closed.

This bar & restaurant used to be named Da Big Kahuna (@2006-2015) and had the same tikis out front as today and the same decor (both inside and out) but skewed a bit more to the dive bar and nightclub side.

Not to be confused with Big Kahuna's Pizza (since 1994 and still running).

Da Big Kahuna was known for its fish bowl cocktail and for its large handled Tiki Farm mug.

The owners decided to expand and opened two locations in Florida (Fort Lauderdale in 2010-2016 and Jacksonville in 2012-2014) but eventually all three businesses closed.

Then the Waikiki location was renamed as Lava Tube, and opened @2018 under new ownership with less emphasis on being a nightclub and with a revamped food menu.

Around May of 2025, the name changed to Tikis Meeting Spot, although the decor and drink menu appear to be the same, so it appears to be yet another light re-branding or ownership change but not a complete overhaul.

Open from 2012-2014.

This was part of a small chain that began with the original in Waikiki (@2006-2015), then saw a second location in Fort Lauderdale (2010 - 2016), and concluded with this third location in Jacksonville, Florida before going out of business.

There is little evidence left of the two Florida locations today (2025) but the original Waikiki location still thrives and looks much the same although it has changed names and owners (now called the Tikis Meeting Spot).

This chain was known for encouraging a club atmosphere in the evenings and providing inexpensive tropical drinks without trying too hard to replicate the classic Trader Vics/Don the Beachcomber experience.
