Open since @ 2012.

Surf City Island golf is a popular island-themed miniature golf course with nautical, pirate, jungle, and tiki imagery.

Opened in mid 2000s and closed in late 2000s.

Kava Lounge was more of a wine bar, with a Polynesian vibe tending to the Maori end.

It was apparently close to La Ripaille, a French Restaurant, which has been at this address since the early 80s and still going as of 2021.

Closed in 2009. Remembered for its 12-foot-tall moai at the entrance and for the sculptured look of the interior to look like a cavern overgrown with tree branches on ceiling and roots on floor. They also had hula shows and served drinks in coconut mugs.

Built in 1962.

This manufactured home community consists of 90 one-story units.

The community lies very near the Pacific Ocean, and once boasted a Manager's Office built to look like a long house, with two large tikis guarding the entrance. The tikis were removed sometime @2006, and today nothing noteworthy remains.

This live music venue was originally located on Pico Boulevard at the old Wan-Q building at 8751 W Pico Blvd. (circa 1994), but then re-located to this second and final location. It lasted here from 1995-1999 before closing for good.

The interior had a bamboo bar and a mural in back of Thurston Howell and his wife, Lovey, from Gilligan's Island.

The Jacks Sugar Shack locations (never an apostrophe in its name) featured an eclectic mix of blues artists and American roots music. It also hosted the long-running Ronnie Mackʼs Barn Dance.

Mr. Vise Grip's Bamboo Bar was the small tiki bar within the 19 Broadway Nite Club, from 2003 until a fire damaged the space in 2009. The Nite Club remains, but the Bamboo Bar is no longer.

This used to be Samoa Hut.

The Harbor Hut has been family owned and operated since 1951.

There is also a fish and chips take-out building on the property called "The Li'l Hut".

Their original outdoor tikis have deteriorated and they have replaced some of them with more modern carvings. One old standing rootball headed tiki has lost his body and just the head remains if you compare earlier to later photos below...

Polynesian restaurant in the '70s, reportedly had two very large tikis outside, and a volcano inside. There was a nightly "Polynesian Revue." This location was originally Mahi Mahi (1968-1970).

According to newspaper advertisements, it was open at least through 1978.

Later became the Golden Dragon restaurant. Currently home to Sushi Train since 2012.

There was also a Blue Hawaii in Wildwood, New Jersey and in Lafayette, Louisiana. No known connection between any of the three.

Blue Hawaii was a popular name. There was also a mini chain of three Blue Hawaii Restaurants (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Portsmouth).

Hula's Island Grill in Monterey started off initially in 1998 with more of a Hawaiiana/Surf feel, but has been deepening its tiki roots over the years, most notably with the addition of their Tiki Room. Carved masks and trim details by the artist Bosko are throughout the restaurant, and a very large Tiki Tony carving shares the space with much bamboo and Leeteg reproductions. The restaurant is enormously popular with locals, and has a very cozy, intimate feel. Traditional drinks include a proper Mai Tai, and Hula's has their own branded glassware and their own branded tiki mugs available (call ahead to make sure they are in stock).

In 2006, a second location opened up the coast in Santa Cruz. Then, Hula's Modern Tiki opened in Phoenix (2009-2018) followed by Hula's Modern locations in Scottsdale (2014) and High Street (2020). The first Hula's Modern Tiki in Phoenix re-located on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018 to a new location on Seventh Street north of Camelback Road, less than a mile away from the original.

A newer dance club, above the Have a Nice Day Cafe. Less Tiki Bob's, more Tiki Bob's Cantina. Only not as nice. In photos, the only tikis are painted on the walls, and look strangely like flower pots.

As of 2021, this space is home to Elektricity Nightclub.

The Aloha Room was in the Heathman Hotel, which later converted to the Heathman Restaurant.

The Heathman Hotel was built in 1926, however, the Aloha Room was not added until 1961, when John Haviland, who was known in real estate circles largely for owning apartment houses, acquired the lease for the hotel from the Hauser family, along with an option to buy. One of Haviland’s first initiatives was to open the Aloha Room in the storefront at the southwest corner of Salmon and Park.

The Aloha Room by all accounts closed in the 1970s.

The hotel closed in the 1980s after a series of health and fire code violations.

In 1984, the Heathman underwent a major renovation, during which the original exterior and eucalyptus-paneled Tea Court Lounge were fully restored to their original glory. Also during this renovation, the hotel’s entrance was moved from Salmon Street to Broadway, enhancing its visibility. A second major renovation of all guestrooms and public spaces was completed in September 2018.

This pre-tiki cafe was open from 1950 to 1963.

In the cabaret field, Montreal, during the 1950s, continued to be considered one of the most important cities in America. New York and Las Vegas came first and second; Montreal ranked third.

Many film and television stars were applauded in Montreal in the early 50s. Chez Parée was the leader. The management of this cabaret presented Dorothy Lamour, Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne, Billy Daniels, Peggy Lee, Sophie Tucker, Nelson Eddy, all stars who earned more than $5,000 a week in fees. Others that were very popular with Montreal night owls included the Montmartre, where the "color" shows were in the spotlight, the Mocambo, the CAFE HALE HAKALA, the Domino, the Astor, the Copacabana, the Esquire, the Beaver, the Café du Palais, the Plaza, the Savoy, the Lido Inn, the Casino Français, and the Café de l'Est.

In the mid-1950s, Jean Drapeau ran for mayor and got a mandate. Drapeau claimed he wanted to “clean up” Montreal, and his administration began a fierce battle against “immorality.” Most of the establishments that made Montreal famous did not survive.

The arrival of television in the homes of Montrealers also struck cabarets. All of a sudden, people needn’t go out for entertainment; it was right there in their living room. The public’s interest for live performances decreased considerably.

Even if some cabarets were still active and fairly popular in the 1960s, the industry slowed down drastically, and disappeared completely by the 1970s. Many of the buildings that formed the “Red Light” were destroyed to build the Ville-Marie highway and the Habitations Jeanne-Mance, a complex of low-rent apartments, among other things.
