"Breakers Roar is an authentic nautical Caribbean Tiki Bar located on the waterfront of Christiansted, St Croix USVI. Featuring 30 unique and flavorful Tiki cocktails made from local juices, rums and spices."

The Waikiki opened in 1960, in a building that previously been a Chinese restaurant called The Chinese Lantern. The Waikiki operated until 1967, when the business was sold to Moon Kim who opened the second location of her Luau Hut there, retaining much of the decor. Since 1978, the building has been Kelly's Irish Times, though the Chinese origins are still clear in the building's architecture.

Moon Kim owned the Silver Spring restaurant that became Luau Hut, originally called Moon's Garden, which served Korean food. She met (and fell in love with) Paul Malonson, who had been maitre d' at the Trader Vic's in Washington, D.C. He inspired her to go Polynesian with her restaurant in 1964. It was elaborately decorated, and immensely popular. They soon opened locations in Washington, D.C., first on Capitol Hill, and another short-lived one near Dupont Circle. Luau Hut lasted through at least partway through the '80s, the building still stands but has been remodeled beyond recognition.

Chteau de la Lune has been operating in this location since 1981, it originally opened in another location in 1977. It is still owned and operated by the same family, the Yings and Huis, who came to Quebec from Hong Kong in the early '70s. The Polynesian decor came largely from the Orchids of Hawaii catalog, and there are lamps, carvings and faux palm trees throughout the restaurant. Chinese Polynesian food is available from a buffet or a la carte. They also serve tiki cocktails in tiki mugs.

*NOTE: Via their website, it appears this restaurant has changed location to 1096 Boulevard Moody, Terrebonne, Quebec J6W 3K9, former site of Tutti Fruit déjeuner et diner, some time in 2021-2022. It is unclear how much of their tiki decor made the journey or if they are still serving cocktails.

Chow's is a Chinese restaurant that has been in operation since at least the 1960s, but underwent a Polynesian transformation in 1984, when the owner ordered everything out of an Orchids of Hawaii catalog. They once served drinks, but no longer do, though they may have some old Orchids of Hawaii mugs for sale. The room is lined with matting and tapa, with carved clubs and masks on the walls, and Orchids of Hawaii lamps. The food is standard Chinese buffet fare.

Kula Hut opened in May 1960, and was just off Robson Street in Vancouver, B.C. It advertised itself as the "most authentic" Polynesian restaurant. It was owned by Joan and John Jang, Joan was the restaurant's manager. They hired Philip Fong and Paul Mak, who had been dining room captains at the Kon-Tiki in Montreal. By 1974, the restaurant was closed.

Shrunken Head Tropic Lounge was a modern tiki bar combining elements of mid-century Polynesian pop culture with Caribbean and general tropical influences. The bar was opened by California transplant Jonny VerPlanck in 2013. The decor was simple, with large shrunken heads and the bar's name painted on the walls, and a lauhala-fronted bar. Carved tiki poles flanked the back bar.

Tiffany and Conrad Hildebrand bought Shrunken Head from Jonny VerPlanck in 2015.

While the bar’s customer base dwindled over the following years, Hildebrand said, Shrunken Head’s catering business flourished, offering bar service at events throughout Mid-Missouri like weddings, corporate parties and concerts — including downtown Jefferson City’s Angiepalooza and The Millbottom’s Fourth of July party, for example.

“Instead of just closing down everything, we’re going to just close down the bar and focus on the catering,” she said.

The bar closed on February 23, 2019.

More information about Shrunken Head’s catering is available on its Facebook page or by calling Hildebrand at 573-338-5455. Their business is now called Shrunken Head's Mobile Bar & Tropical Drinks.

Tiki Limbo is a small hotel/hostel, restaurant and surf shop catering to the casual, backpacking tourists who come through this small coastal town. It was created in 2003 by the husband and wife team of Fernanda Solis (from Argentina) and Lorenzo Torre (from Spain). The couple supervised the full construction of the thatch-covered, '50s Americana, Polynesian Pop-inspired building. Every room of the entire building is thoroughly decorated in thatch, bamboo, and other tropical details and there are plenty of tikis.

The hotel has 11 rooms in both group and private configurations. The restaurant specializes in vegetarian fare, as well as seafood. The shop sells surf clothes and accessories, and offers surf rentals as well.

Opened November 9th, 1970.

Tiki Tiki was a small Polynesian restaurant on the basement level of a building, with a palm tree shaded A-frame entrance. The restaurant had a floor show with drummers and dancers. The decor included much bamboo, thatch, and a volcano. There were also Tiki Tiki locations in Calgary and Saskatoon.

This location closed in the mid 1980s and is now a bar called Woody's.

This cheesy take on tiki opened in 2005, and eventually morphed into a dance club. Cartoony tikis and monkeys everywhere...everything seemed to indicate that this place was truly awful. Closed in 2009, and the space became Red Square Vodka House.

This was the original Queen Anne location of Hula Hula, which re-opened in a new Capitol Hill location in April 2017. The tiki-kitsch bar and limited restaurant was located at the base of Queen Anne Hill near the Seattle Center. It opened in December 2006, and closed ten years later in March 2017, due to planned redevelopment of the site. Before becoming Hula Hula, this space was Watertown, and for many years before that, it was a nightclub called the Romper Room. Hula Hula was managed by the same group that owned the neighboring martini bar, Tini Bigs, which also closed.

Hula Hula served tropical cocktails and a short menu of pupus. The drink menu was filled with the expected names, like the Mai Tai, Zombie, Navy Grog and Shark's Tooth, but the recipes seemed to have little relationship to the names (the Navy Grog, for instance, had pineapple juice). The walls and ceiling were lined with lauhala and bamboo, and some of the seating was in poolside-style lounge chairs. Karaoke happened nightly.

The Hawaiian Village in Vancouver was also known as The Beachcomber, part of the Canadian chain of Beachcomber restaurants. It is currently unknown when and why the restaurant changed its name, but the style of the Hawaiian Village menu matches that of the Beachcomber chain.

Mugs for the Vancouver Hawaiian Village were created for them by Erneli Food Equipment.
