Owned by David & Anna Chan -- David was head bartender at the Washington, D.C. Trader Vic's during the 70s, and he and Anna opened Honolulu Restaurant in 1978. Honolulu closed on April 10, 2004 (coincidentally, Martin Denny's 93rd birthday) when an expansion project on a nearby bridge forced its closure.

David & Anna have launched a new line of products from their Honolulu Restaurant, called "Dave & Anna's Signature Blends." These products, and some memories from Honolulu Restaurant, are at their new website, time2tiki.com.

Opened June 23rd, 1963.

This attraction in the Adventureland section of Disneyland was Walt Disney's first use of Audio-Animatronics for an attraction, and has over 225 fully automated, moving figures. It was originally developed as an attraction for the New York 1964 World's Fair, but when the sponsor fell through, the show was changed and planned for Disneyland instead. An early development concept was that this would be a Polynesian restaurant, but when the attraction was still in design, it was decided that turnover in the restaurant would be an issue -- the fear was that patrons would be so fascinated with the moving and talking birds and tikis that they wouldn't ever leave their table. Instead, the attraction was made into the 17 minute seated show you see today.

The attraction had fallen into poor condition in recent years. Due to pressure from online campaigns and the attraction's sponsor, Dole Pineapple, the Enchanted Tiki Room underwent some much-needed repairs, but continued to be in a state of decay. Fortunately, in 2004 and 2005 the Enchanted Tiki Room was closed for an extensive restoration, and today is looking beautiful, and attendance has increased substantially. Enchanted Tiki Room merchandise has been a big seller for Disneyland in recent years.

Enchanted Tiki Rooms with different shows can also be found at Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland.

From the early '60s into the early '90s, Adventureland also had the Tahitian Terrace, a restaurant with a dinner show, located next to the Enchanted Tiki Room. This was replaced by Aladdin's Oasis, but in December 2018, Aladdin's Oasis was replaced by a new Polynesian themed food counter, named Tropical Hideaway.

Opened in 1993.

Hula Hut was for many years known as Chuy's Hula Hut, but Chuy's owners Mike Young and John Zapp sold their interest sometime around 2009.

Hula Hut describes their food as "Tiki-Mex," and the location has more of a focus on general tropicalia than classic Polynesian Pop.

The restaurant is located right on Lake Austin and has a pier going out over the water.

Down below is a giant fish sculpture whose head pivots and spews water and bubbles (designed and manufactured in 1995 by Bob Daddy-O Wade).

There was also a second sister location Hula Hut which started in 2015 at Little Elm on Lake Lewisville.

Both Hula Huts were sold independently @January 2023 to separate owners.

The Hula Hut in Little Elm closed permanently on September 2, 2024".

This tiki bar opened to much fanfare in 2001, but it reportedly closed for "renovations" in November of 2002. In reality, it shut down after running into some governmental crankiness over unpaid back taxes.

Their theme was Rat Pack meets Tiki. They also had a number of early Tiki Farm mugs branded with their location.

In 2006, the space finally reopened as Headhunters, a punk dive bar renowned as a live music venue.

Headhunters fell on hard times and was cleaned up and re-branded in 2012 as Metal and Lace: Steampunk Lounge by Host Jon Taffer of the Bar Rescue television show.

However, the changes didn't stick and the bar went back to its old name and ways and closed in 2014.

Opened in 1977, this location is not as richly decorated as some of the other Barcelona tiki bars, but it is centrally located.

The mural figures in this bar have an unusual Indonesian themed quality to them.

As with the other Barcelona tiki bars, they serve their drinks in classic Spanish style porcelain tiki mugs.

Some tiki purists may be disappointed at times by the music selection or cocktail offerings, but as with other Barcelona tiki spots, this is an amazing time capsule worth checking out if you are in the area.

Opened in 1976, this is a very large bar with a 250 person capacity and bills itself as the largest tiki bar in Barcelona.

It still has all of its original decor, including an amazing front bar area with a bundled rattan/bamboo bar railing, several Gaugin inspired nude Tahitian girl murals, and tikis throughout. There are several small rooms and alcove areas for more intimate smaller groups.

There is an anachronistic large television at the end of the front bar-- probably as an obligatory nod to sports fans. There is also a large table soccer game (foosball to North Americans) by the emergency exit.

Porcelain style signature Spanish tiki mugs are used, although many show signs of chipping or cold paint loss and have been in rotation a number of years.

Tiki purists may not always approve of the music or cocktail authenticity, but this is common with many of the Spanish tiki bars. Despite this, the ability to experience such an early time capsule of a tiki temple should not be missed.

Kahala opened on April 21, 1971 and was the first tiki bar in Spain. There were once 14 tiki bars in Barcelona, and Kahala has survived these many years because it has much to offer.

It still has all the original decor. You cross a waterfall to a long bar space, with various private seating areas, including King chairs. Staff wears Hawaiian shirts and the mugs are all original with a massive selection.

The cocktails and music may not always endear themselves to tiki purists, but if you are in the area, you owe it to yourself to check out one of the elder tiki temples still in existence.

Opened in 1995, PortAventura World is the most visited theme park in Spain and the sixth most visited theme park in Europe.

The park features five theme areas based on civilizations (Mediterrània, Far West, México, China and Polynesia), and one theme area based on Sesame Street. Mediterrània is the main entrance area of the park.

The Polynesia area of the park is populated with many tiki statues, a Kon-Tiki wave ride, and features live shows with large Polynesian dance groups.

Jade Tiki opened in August 1977, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

By the 2000s, it had only a few tikis out front, and some tropical drinks served in tiki mugs.

This location closed in October 2011; the restaurant moved to another location in Utica, MI, but any traces of tiki (beyond the name) are now gone.

The Tropics Motel in Blythe was built by Ken Kimes, and was a sister property to what is now the Caliente Tropics Resort in Palm Springs. This location had 60 units and a Sambo's restaurant adjacent to it.

Today, the hotel has been stripped of anything even remotely tiki, and became part of the bland Vagabond Inn chain, and was then re-branded several more times.

Zombie Hut opened in Brooklyn in 2002.

It is a small neighborhood bar with tiki-lite decor, very dim lighting and an outdoor patio.

Among other decorations, they have an interior mural of the menu cover art from the now long-closed Zombie Village in Oakland, California.

They also have a selection of board games.

The bar is particularly well-known for serving strong, cheap tropical drinks. Lots of frozen slushy drinks, but they also do flaming scorpion bowls and other cocktails as well. Cash only.

Created by Eric Schwaiger, Smorgy's was a chain that was started in the mid 1980s, expanded in the 1990s with more elaborate build-outs, and closed in the early 2000s. The food was all-you-can-eat buffet style and the decor featured some animatronics and many had Disney-esque style volcano entrances or waterfalls surrounded by jungle style shrubbery.

The remains of this Smorgy's location were destroyed in a fire on September 8, 2013.
