Opened in 1975.

As is typical in tiki bars throughout Spain, tropical cocktails of dubious quality are served in beautiful tiki mugs. The decor is perhaps less elaborate than other Spanish tiki bars, but dark wooden wall panels dotted with tiki masks still set a decent mood.

Jolly Rogers was a short-lived Polynesian restaurant just outside of New Delhi, on the 10th floor of the Time Tower. The theme for the restaurant was pirate-meets-tiki, but the decor was very bright, sleek and airy, with white walls and lots of windows. There were many tiki masks decorating the restaurant, though, and tropical cocktails and Polynesian food were served. Jolly Rogers opened in 2009 and closed in 2012.

Top Notch Kustoms is the auto shop of Ignacio "Notch" Gonzalez. Notch is famous for several things in the tiki world: for building the famous towering Ku and Moai tiki bars seen at Viva Las Vegas, Tiki Oasis and Forbidden Island; for creating the jaw-dropping decor at Smuggler's Cove; and creating original and replica tiki mugs.

Notch's many talents manifest in many different ways, but here at his shop, it's mostly about carsNotch's specialty is hot rod customization. His shop holds a completely immersive tiki bar as a break room. It's a small space, but some ingenious interior design work gives it the feel of a full-size, full-featured tiki bar. Particularly notable: Notch's shop houses the neon sign for the fabled Cosmo Place Trader Vic's in San Francisco.

Painkiller was opened by Giuseppe Gonzalez and Richard Boccato on Manhattan's Lower East Side in May 2010. The small space dictated a streamlined decor approach, with heavy use of bamboo and flat artwork on the walls. The decor was a mix of simple tiki (in the form of untreated bamboo and flat Indonesian import masks), and graffiti artwork inspired both by the local neighborhood and tiki history.

The bar itself was a bit high, and the immovable stools were also high and close to the bar; sitting at the bar could be a challenge for the large or the small. The seating in the back rooms was comfy, though, and standing at the bar worked, too.

The emphasis at Painkiller was on the cocktails, with lots of modern variations inspired by old classics. The menu did not list specific drinks, rather it was a list of drink categories, intended to spark conversation with your bartender to help you find a drink you'll love. Drinks were well-crafted, and served in tiki mugs, with pina coladas served in frozen pineapples.

After a legal dispute with Pusser's Rum, owners of the "Painkiller" trademark, the bar changed its name to PKNY.

Painkiller closed in July 2013 after losing their lease.

Smuggler's Cove was opened December 8th, 2009 by Martin Cate, a renowned rum expert and longtime tikiphile who was one of the founders of Forbidden Island in Alameda. Smuggler's Cove specializes in all varieties of rum and rum drinks, with a particular emphasis on historic and exotic cocktails. Cate has attracted some of the top bartender talent in the talent-rich city of San Francisco. Smuggler's Cove regularly appears on the lists of the best bars in the world. It has proven incredibly popular: if you go on a weekend, be prepared to possibly wait in a line for entry.

The decor is a blend of nautical and tiki. The dimly-lit bar spans three floors: the main and lower levels each have their own bars, and an upper half-level is a tiki hut that overlooks the main floor. There is a waterfall between the main floor and the lower floor, with a small pool at the bottom. The construction was led by Ignacio "Notch" Gonzalez, of San Jose's Top Notch Kustoms.

The offerings can be overwhelming in scope: over 500 rums, and more than 75 cocktails. If you're intent on trying as many as possible, consider entering the Rumbustion Society; those who complete the list are rewarded for their efforts.

Kona Kai Club opened in 1953, and along with the nearby Bali Hai Restaurant, was one of the first developments on the predominantly Polynesian-themed Shelter Island. The Kona Kai Club was a marina, intended from the start to serve high-end yachts, and it developed into the premiere marina in San Diego. The catalog of celebrities mooring pleasure boats there is impressive: Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster, Jack Lemmon, Gregory Peck, Jimmy Durante, Dick Van Dyke, Liberace, and many more.

The Kon-Tiki bar & lounge adjoined the club's main dining room and came complete with a Kon-Tiki sail waving from the bar itself.

In 1959, the Kona Inn hotel was opened next door (at 1901 Shelter Island Drive). Later in the year, the entire property was purchased by Jack Wrather, a Hollywood producer who was the original owner of the Disneyland Hotel. Wrather expanded the marina, and in 1963 sold the club to John Alessio, owner of the famous Hotel del Coronado. Alessio started to add Mediterranean touches, including an octagonal structure echoing the one at the Coronado.

The Kona Inn and Kona Kai Club underwent their final renovation from 1995-1997, which completed the conversion from Polynesian to Mediterranean. The name was removed in 1998, and it became Shelter Pointe Hotel & Marina.

Today, the name is back (well, nearly: it is called Kona Kai Resort & Spa) but the theming is entirely Mediterranean.

Rock-a-Tiki was a clothes store carrying both vintage and rockabilly-label items in the Prenzlauer berg of Berlin. It was once in another location on Eberswalderstrasse.

This and several other stores were reportedly folded into a store called Class of Berlin.

Aloha-Luau Lounge was a short-lived pop-up in the Kreuzberg area of Berlin in early 2007. There was a small bar in the back of the space, with an art gallery in the front. Aloha-Luau offered classic tiki drinks like Zombies, Navy Grogs and Mai Tais.

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.

Tiki Heart opened in Berlin's Kreuzberg area in early 2006. It has two parts: upstairs, a cafe serving coffee, cocktails and food; downstairs, a shop selling clothes and accessories. Tiki Heart is adjacent to the Wild at Heart music venue, and caters to the rockabilly crowd.

The Tahitian in Pasadena opened on November 21st, 1961.

This location at 137 S. Lake Avenue was previously home to Steve Romer's Surf Rider, which had closed only 4 years before.

The Tahtian restaurant was co-owned by Don Avalier and Bill Dove with Chef Francois Sirgant as a third partner. It was one of two Tahitian restaurants, the other location was in Studio City. There was also a Royal Tahitian restaurant in Ontario, CA that used identical lettering and was likely related. Menu cover tiki was designed by Andres Bumatay. The decor was supplied by Oceanic Arts and Sea & Jungle, and the ceramic table lamps and coconut mugs were supplied by Spurlin Ceramics.

Open through at least 1968.

The Tahitian in Studio City opened February 20th, 1959, and was one of at least 2 locations -- the other was in Pasadena. The Royal Tahitian in nearby Ontario, CA had identical lettering, and may have been related. Menu cover tiki (same as tiki outside of front door) was designed by Andre Bumatay. The decor was supplied by both Oceanic Arts and Sea & Jungle, with coconut mugs and ceramic table lamps from Spurlin Ceramics. The location is now a parking lot.
