When Tiki Tolteca opened in May 2013, it was the first tiki bar to operate in New Orleans in decades. It sat within a Mexican taqueria called Felipe's, and as such was a blend of Tiki and Latin American influences. They made their own syrups and used fresh juices, and incorporated south-of-the-border spirits like mezcal, pisco and cachaa beyond the expected rum. Food was available from Felipe's below.

The space blended exposed brick with bamboo and thatch, and there were many beachcomber lamps. Drinks were served in tiki mugs, or in the heavy, blue-rimmed glasses that are familiar in Mexican restaurants.

Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29 is located right next door.

On September 27th, 2021, Tiki Tolteca announced their permanent closure... with the caveat that they might still host private events on occasion within the space.

Dirty Dick is a tiki bar, opened in February 2013 in a former brothel. Barman Scott Schuder is an American expat, originally from southern California. The menu is a mix of tiki classics and their own creations. Menu graphics by Bai.

Brass Monkey Tiki Bar opened at the end of 2009.

The bar had a rockabilly-tinged flavor to it, but was solidly tiki, too. Carefully-constructed cocktails were served in tiki mugs. The decor was relatively spare for a tiki bar, but there were a few pufferfish lamps, and a bamboo-covered ceiling. There was also frequent live music.

In 2018, a new sister location, Brass Monkey Esbjerg, opened its doors, but appears to have closed some time at the end of 2021 and then re-opened in August 2022 under a new name as The Tiki Hut.

The Brass Monkey Tiki bar in København (Copenhagen) appears to have closed @2023.

Aku Aku Tiki Bar opened in May 2007, in the Grnerlkka neighborhood of Oslo. Some of the decor was on loan from the Kon-Tiki Museum, including a large canoe hanging from the ceiling. The walls were lined with straw matting. Classic tiki drinks were served in tiki mugs, and the music was a mix of Hawaiian and Exotica tunes.

Closed April 6th, 2024.

Kokomo Tikibar & Room opened in February 2011 in the Punavuori neighborhood of Helsinki. They had many karaoke nights, and later at night it become a DJ nightclub. The decor included bamboo and carved war clubs and masks, with some large carved tikis, but with stark white chairs and a white-and-black checkerboard floor. On Saturdays daytime brunch was served from noon to 2:30pm.

Closed January 20th, 2018.

There was also a sister bar, the Kokomo Tikibar in Lahti, but it closed in January 2015.

This first Hula's Modern Tiki opened on Central Avenue in Phoenix in late 2009 and was re-located to uptown Phoenix in 2018. It came from the same minds behind the hit Hula's restaurants in Monterey and Santa Cruz. The concept with the Central location (and later iterations of the "Modern Tiki" concept) was a bit different -- while the Monterey and Santa Cruz locations have more of a surf-meets-tiki feel, the aesthetic here was a mix of midcentury modern and tiki.

The dominant feature of the space was a massive, hexagonal window that looked straight out of a '70s sci-fi film set (the building actually dated to 1965). The interiors were all sleek, but executed with a variety of organic materials to bring a sort of barely-primitive feel. The indoor area featured a large bar, and there was outdoor dining.

There was at least one large Tiki tOny tiki. Tiki mugs, especially from Munktiki, filled cases around the restaurant. Volcano bowl drinks were available, and drinks were served in glassware with the Hula's tiki logo. Like the other Hula's locations, it won rave reviews for its food.

The Central Avenue location is now currently home to a new restaurant called Persepshen as of October 2019.

In addition to the uptown Phoenix location since 2018, two other Hula's Modern locations have opened in Arizona: a Scottsdale location opened in early 2014 and a third location opened in High Street in 2020.

Tahiti Joe's opened in 2007 as the on-site restaurant for the Tahiti Village Resort & Spa. This restaurant was more heavily tiki than the surrounding resort, with some large, modern carvings, and more traditional carved wall pieces. It closed in May 2014.

Opened in 2008.

Tiki Brett was a small bar located underneath Classic Tattoo, a tattoo parlor featured on a German reality show inspired by Miami Ink, called Tattoo - Berlin sticht zu. The manager of the tattoo parlor, Thomas Fender, ran the bar. Much of the decor came from Berlin's beloved Tabou Tiki Room.

Closed in 2009.

Opened in 1982. This bar north of downtown Lisbon serves tropical drinks and has Polynesian art on the walls. There was another Bora Bora on Rua da Madalena in Lisbon. Next door you can see the A-frame remains of the entrance to the now-closed Tangaroa Hawaiian Bar.

Hawaiian Isle was in the Sunny Isles area of North Miami Beach, very near another complex, The Castaways. It had a weathered shingle-clad pyramid over the main entrance, a sort of sharp, angular, modern take on a primitive hut. The tikis on site were highly stylized (in particular a large, back-lit, glowing mask near the entrance), and many were Witco tikis.

Today the location is a high-rise condominium complex called Pinnacle.

The Original Tiki Bar opened in 1990, was expanded in 1998, and was renovated after hurricane damage in 2004.

The restaurant had at least a few Florida-style tiki carvings. It is unclear what the "original" was in reference to.

Closed in April 2019. Now home to Crabby's Dockside.

Shipwreck Tavern is a nautically-themed restaurant that opened in the fall of 2006. In summer 2007, they added a "Tiki Bar and Cafe" that includes an outdoor seating area with tiki poles and masks. Shipwreck Tavern is owned and operated by the same outfit that owns the pirate-themed Bayville Adventure Park next door, and also the Jekyll & Hyde Club in New York City.
