Tiki Bars
Bamboo Bar
Hollywood, Florida, United States (Closed)
Bamboo Bar was in operation at least as late as 1970.
This location appears to now be part of the Margaritaville Beach Resort.
The 349-room resort and complex opened for business in October 2015 on a five-acre city-owned site between Johnson and Michigan streets.
Bamboo Grove
Astoria, Oregon, United States (Closed)
Ran during the 1940s.
Chinese food was served.
The proprietor was Harold Koe, who also appears to have run the famous Twin Dragon cocktail lounge in Chinatown during the 1940s, the Pekin Oriental Company which dealt in imported goods, and the Pekin Fireworks Company which re-located from San Francisco to Astoria. The Koe family was a large one and Harold had several brothers and extended family who helped with the many businesses.
Tiki Doré
Montréal, Quebec, Canada (Closed)
Tiki Doré was opened by Douglas Chan, a former employee of the Montreal Kon-Tiki. Chan sold Tiki Doré in 1990. (Chan also founded the nearby Jardin Tiki.) Tiki Doré closed in January 2000, and the location is now a Russian gourmet deli of sorts (as of 2021).
Hawaii Kai - Montréal
Côte-Des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-De-Grâce, Montréal, Quebec, Canada (Closed)
Opened in 1963.
This Polynesian-themed bar was part of Bill Wong's Restaurant, but all traces of its tiki history were erased during a 1998 remodel into "Billie's Bar," a bland, generic update.
Today this location is home to a vacant building (newly built around 2000) that is available for retail or restaurant lease as of 2021.
Restaurant Aloha
Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, Canada (Closed)
Restaurant Aloha opened in 1978. The wide restaurant had a narrow A-frame entrance; sometime between 2007 and 2011 the entrance was stripped of much of its tiki charm, but the bar at Aloha still had thatch and beachcomber lamps, and the restaurants still served flaming Pu Pu Platters and a "Flamme Tahitienne" in a volcano bowl. The restaurant closed in late 2014.
Htel-Motel Coconut
Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada
Htel-Motel Coconut has been owned by the Landry family since it opened in 1958, and became Polynesian-themed in 1963 after the owners went on an inspirational honeymoon in Tahiti. In addition to the hotel, there are two lounges: the Coconut Bar and in 2015 a second lounge was added, Volcano. Coconut Bar has more traditional and immersive decor, while Volcano is more lightly themed but bathed in all-red light. However, the Coconut Bar has incongruous modern music, while Volcano has the more relaxing lounge sounds one wants in a tiki bar.
Restaurant Tahiti
Châteauguay, Quebec, Canada
Open at least as early as the 1980s, possibly the 1970s.
This restaurant was reportedly remodeled as of 2013 and little of its original decor survived.
Below you can see a photo of the bar interior with thatching and more decor surrounding it, and then the stripped bare and remodeled version.
Despite the stark white walls, there are some masks and other decorations still throughout, however.
As of 2025, the building has been listed for sale.
Mauna Loa Restaurant - Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States (Closed)
This location was open briefly from @ 1977 - 1980 and was known for its Hawaiian Dance Review floor shows.
Today this site is a Shop n' Save.
Jack's Cannery Bar
San Francisco, California, United States (Closed)
A short-lived tiki bar added to Jack's Cannery Bar, found in The Cannery at Fisherman's Wharf.
It appears a few orange-painted Tiki Bobs endured after the rest was removed...
Ho Kong
Woonsocket, Rhode Island, United States (Closed)
Built in 1970, this small neighborhood bar and restaurant served Chinese food and tiki cocktails.
It had an A-frame entrance with a large Maori style tiki carving hanging below the peak. Inside, much of the decor was Chinese-themed, but they did have thatch-covered booth seating with a number of Orchids of Hawaii style hanging lanterns over each booth.
Closed in 2019. Demolished in 2023 and added to the Cass Park expansion.
Bahi Hut Lounge
Sarasota, Florida, United States
Bahi Hut was opened in 1954 by Bill Johnson, and remains a beloved neighborhood bar and local landmark. For many years it operated as more of a beer bar, although some tropical drinks were available.
In 2018 it underwent a grand restoration and by all accounts was quite successful.
Two new tiki poles grace the front exterior, Mai and Tai, carved by Jeff Chouinard.
They kept a couple of their previous cocktails on the menu (especially their version of a "mai tai" which was beloved by locals for being strong...even if considered unbalanced and inauthentic by most tikifiles used to Trader Vic standards) but have revamped the rest of their cocktail menu and have climbed back from being just a beer bar.
It is part of the Golden Host Resort, a vintage roadside motel.
The Beachcomber - Lake Oswego
Lake Oswego, Oregon, United States (Closed)
The Beachcomber existed at least as early as 1966 and appears to have closed shortly after 1996 (after a big flood that same year). It was on the shore of Lake Oswego -- one could enter the restaurant from either the lake side (if traveling by boat) or the street side.
Virginia (Bevans) Smith bought the Beachcomber after her husband's death. Previously, she and her husband had been partners in Eugene, where they ran Bev's Bar-B-Q, the first drive-through in Eugene.
Chinese food was served here.
The location is now home, as of 2022, to Stickmen's Lakeside Smokehouse & Brewery.
