Mobile Tiki Bar from Belgium, est. 2019. Cocktail workshops and rum tastings at our home Tiki bar.

The Aloha Bar at the House of Foong Lin is a great example of a "community" tiki bar. Chef Fu generously allowed the local VA/MD/DC Tiki community to transform his strip-mall style chinese restaurant into a complete tiki bar (Summer of 2018). With a new custom tiki drink menu lead and curated by Jeff Westlake, and combined with the outstanding chinese food that Mr. Fu has always served, Tiki Thirstdays are an excellent weekly gathering of local Ohana in a home they built for themselves. Not required, but if you show up without an Aloha shirt, there's a whole wall of clean loaners available to join in the fun.

Tiki on 18th opened July 20th, 2019.

It comes from Jonathan Peterson, the co-founder of Rum Day DC, Rum Cocktail Club, and the Rum Block Party in Baltimore, and D.C. bartender Saab Harrison, who stirred drinks at Service Bar in Shaw.

It is a small tiki bar located above the Game Sports Pub in Adams Morgan. Their goal is to pay homage to classic tiki cocktails, as well as introducing some modern twists.

The small-plate food menu consists of Polynesian inspirations, Hawaiian favorites and a Filipino twist.

Patio and Private reservations are available.

This is undoubtedly one of the finest tiki bars in the world.

Opened October of 2019 by Mark Sellers, with partners including Martin Cate (Smugglers Cove) and Mike "Gecko" Souriolle (Gecko'z South Sea Arts).

From their website:

"Experience a unique, world-class immersive experience for friends, co-workers, or a romantic escape.

Our two-story urban oasis features an immersive dining and drinking experience designed to transport guests to a distant tropical paradise bathed in perpetual twilight.

Max's features an original interior design from Bamboo Ben and Notch Gonzalez, two of the best-known tiki artisans in the world, along with a giant collection of vintage and modern tiki art and decor."

This was the speakeasy style tiki bar hidden behind the already excellent Archipelago DC tiki bar. Lost Island aimed to recreate a much more traditional Tiki escape from the city outside. Quiet, dark, completely removed from the U Street nightlife, the Lost Island had its own custom menu of classic and modern tiki drinks. A small bar area was separated from table seating. Access was by reservation only.

The Lost Island was temporarily closed during the pandemic, but never reopened. With the closing of parent bar Archipelago on 08/26/2023, the Lost Island is permanently closed.

Devil's Reef is a fully-themed tiki bar in the Triangle/St. Helens neighborhood of Tacoma, from the owners of the nearby but now-closed Tacoma Cabana, Jason Alexander and Robyn Murphy. Tacoma Cabana was much-celebrated, and Devil's Reef is the next-generation evolution, where Alexander and Murphy are able to lean even deeper into their strengths in creating a great environment for enjoying excellent tropical beverages. An extensive rum list and tropical drink menu is offered. The decor plays with the darker side of tiki, combining the couple's affection for both Polynesian Pop and H.P. Lovecraft. Devil's Reef opened on January 19, 2018. Tacoma Cabana was closed in September of that year, so that Alexander and Murphy could focus their whole efforts on Devil's Reef.

Pau Hana Lounge was a tiki bar, part of On the Hiyu, a rental facility from Seattle, Washington, based on a previously retired ferry. The 165-foot ferry, called the Hiyu, was converted into an arts space, which was available for special event rental, and which hosted some public arts events including music and cabaret acts. The ferry had two interior passenger compartments, and one contained the Pau Hana Lounge which was created by Aleks Petrovitch, a longtime member of the tiki revival scene who used to own Aqua Surf Shop in San Francisco, and Tiki Bosko of San Diego. The work started in summer 2017, and the bar opened in late 2017 or early 2018. The Hiyu was moored on the east side of Lake Union.

In May 2022, after having been temporarily closed for a time, On The Hiyu posted in social media that they moved to Cabo. As of December 2022, their boat is still posted for sale.

The Kon-Tiki opened in early November 2017 in Oakland, California, in a space that had previously held Longitude.

Owned by Christ Aivaliotis and Matthew Reagan.

The Kon-Tiki was born out of Christ’s long standing desire to stop commuting to San Francisco, but still wear a Hawaiian shirt to work every day.

December 22nd, 2024 was the last day of operation.

Red Rum is a tiki bar and restaurant in Bellingham, Washington. It opened in March 2018.

The front of the building is lined with bamboo.

The interior space is dimly lit with predominantly red lights/walls and a black ceiling. The bar is lined with bamboo, and thatch is used throughout the space, including A-frame structures over seating booth areas.

There are several large tikis in the space, including a very big moai on the wall beside the bar.

A full menu of tiki drinks is served in tiki mugs, and light food is available late into the evening. Tuesday is a karaoke night.

The Polynesian was an upscale modern restaurant in midtown Manhattan, near Times Square. It was located on the third floor of The Pod Hotel 42, and opened in May 2018. The space was sleek and airy, with more subtle nods to Polynesian art and culture. Seating dividers were made from sticks, clearly inspired by traditional Oceanic sailing maps; graphic repeating patterns on the floor and behind the bar appeared to be very-abstracted echoes of tapa or quilt designs of the Pacific. The dominant colors in the space were warm wood and ocean blue, and select pieces of Oceanic art were on display.

The restaurant was created by New York's Major Food Group, with help from bartender Brian Miller, who had been hosting regular tiki drink nights around New York for several years. Miller's menu included not just nods to drinks from the history of tiki bars, but incorporated nods to actual Polynesian history. The food menu was limited and tended toward the snack end, with some classic fare like Crab Rangoon.

Signature mugs by Tiki Diablo from this location were highly coveted.

The bar closed temporarily in 2020 as a consequence of COVID shutdowns and never re-opened.

Hula Hoops is a tiki bar and restaurant in South San Francisco (which is different from the south part of the city of San Francisco, it is a separate town down the peninsula, closer to the San Francisco Airport). It has a sporty slant, specifically targeting fans of the local Golden State Warriors basketball team. The main dining room has three televisions to show Warriors games, but are not otherwise in regular use. The space was decorated by tiki legend Bamboo Ben. The main room is a large space with black walls and ceiling, and glass windows along a southern wall, bringing in more light than is customary for a tiki bar. Despite the challenges of a large windowed space, there is a coziness thanks to the wall treatments and an assortment of beachcomber lamps, and there are several good-sized tikis in the space. Worth a special mention is a little tiki lounge room built by Ben just off the main room.

Daniel Parks of Pagan Idol assisted with the drink program, which includes some classic tiki drinks, and also the Bird of Paradise as seen on the menu at Pagan Idol, along with drinks served in real pineapples and coconuts with dry ice effects. The food includes island fare like Spam Musubi, Lumpia Shanghai, and Loco Moco, alongside a selection of inventive pizzas.

Last Rites is a "Polynesian Noir" bar that opened in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle/Castro area in June 2018. The bar goes deep on story: the setting is the fuselage of a crashed plane deep in a jungle, with drinks served in "scavenged" bottles cut into glasses. Beyond the plane are vine-encrusted stone ruins, decorated with huge stylized skulls. The team behind Last Rites, owners Justin Lew and Ian Scalzo, have been active in the San Francisco craft cocktail scene for many years, and they have enlisted bar & restaurant designer James Lagoc and fabricator Brian Sullivan to shape the space. Drinks are a departure from classic tiki, while retaining the experimental use of flavors.
