The Downtown Tiki Lounge was opened by two friends, Jim Wilkinson and Dennis Romero, in 2010.

The decor in the bar was a mix of beach, Caribbean and Polynesian (many of the carvings appeared to be Indonesian imports), and the music was typically reggae. The place was full of surfboards provided by Seven Tiki Rum (who also provided the glassware). There was a comfortable seating area near the front, and the rear had a small raised seating area.

The drink menu appeared at first glance to have a few classics, including a Sidewinder's Fang from the long-gone San Mateo power palace, The Lanai. The tribute was a wonderful gesture, but sadly anyone who was excited to have that great drink would be disappointed: what they served had the same name, but not at all the same recipe. The drinks tended strongly to the sweet and chemical side, and could perhaps have used an upgrade in ingredients.

Closed permanently in 2020-2021.

Cocteleria Tahiti was a tiki bar very near the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art. Cocteleria Tahiti's mission was to bring the quality of Barcelona tiki cocktails back to the '40s and '50s, and to be a departure from the '70s tiki bars found in the city. The decor was minimal (red upholstered booths and counter seating with more of a diner or lunch counter vibe), unlike the lavish vintage decor seen in some of the other Barcelona tiki bars, but they were serving classic drink recipes from Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's -- an area where other Barcelona tiki bars tend to be weak. Cocteleria Tahiti opened in March 2010, and closed in mid-2016.

Aku Aku Tiki Bar opened in May 2007, in the Grnerlkka neighborhood of Oslo. Some of the decor was on loan from the Kon-Tiki Museum, including a large canoe hanging from the ceiling. The walls were lined with straw matting. Classic tiki drinks were served in tiki mugs, and the music was a mix of Hawaiian and Exotica tunes.

Closed April 6th, 2024.

Tong's Tiki Hut in Villa Park is the last remaining location of a small Chicago-area chain of Chinese/Polynesian restaurants. Open since at least 1982. This location still has plenty of old-school tiki charm, with rock walls, tapa cloth lamps, and some nice big tikis. Food is the tiki-traditional "Polynesian" Chinese including a flaming pupu platter, and there is a full bar with drinks served in mugs.

Page's Paradise Island was a 28,000 square foot family entertainment complex. It was opened in May 2006 by Bryan Page, in a former gymnasium. There was a restaurant, a tiki bar, rental spaces for parties, an arcade, pools, rock climbing, mini golf... all indoors, and all tropically themed. At night, Page's became 21+, and hosted live music.

The complex closed @ 2016 but the restaurant/bar portion is still open as The Cove Seafood and Banquets (more tropical beach bar than tiki themed) and they have a couple of large wedding halls (one underwater grotto themed and one rustic/barn themed) to host wedding groups and other parties.

Tony's on the Pier (also sometimes called "Old Tony's") was opened by Anthony A. Trutanich, a World War II veteran and former San Pedro fisherman, on Redondo Beach's Fisherman's Wharf in 1952. Tony's started out as a simple shack, expanding the dining room in 1961, and adding a crow's nest-like bar on top of the building in 1965.

The restaurant has open-air sliding windows opening out to waterside views, and the bar in particular has stunning 360-degree views around Palos Verdes and out over the Pacific Ocean.

Tony's decor is nautical rather than tiki, but the preserved midcentury furnishings, fishnet-covered ceilings and large fish floats will make Polynesian Pop lovers feel right at home. They serve a Mai Tai that comes in a souvenir glass.

Kanaloa was a tiki-themed restaurant, bar & nightclub, owned by the same folks behind Mahiki, along with Girls Aloud member Sarah Harding. It opened in London's Blackfriars neighborhood in 2009. Much effort went into creating a welcome space for women at Kanaloa: going beyond free entry and discounts for women, house rules discouraged men from treating women like prey. The main bar had lots of sleek bamboo and shell lamps. The ceiling in one room was densely encrusted with many different colors of glass floats. An elevated "treetop" room had some artificial palms. The club had a large and varied rum menu.

This was the original location in what became a chain across the UK, with locations in Glasgow (closed), Croydon (closed), Cardiff (closed), Newcastle (closed), Portsmouth (closed), and Leeds (closed).

This original location closed its doors in January 2020. The space is currently home to a new bar/nightclub named Be At One.

Kanaloa was a UK-based chain of tiki bars, this Portsmouth location opened in February 2013. It was part of the Tiger Tiger nightclub complex, and was more of a nightclub than a tiki lounge. The space was designed by CheekyTiki. The walls were lined with tapa cloth and bac-bac matting, and there are several faux palm trees. There were thatched roof "huts" for seating larger groups. The drink menu had several large drinks for sharing. There was a cover charge some evenings. It was all ages until 9pm, after that it was 18 and over only.

In addition to the original Kanaloa location in London (now closed), there were also locations in Cardiff (closed), Newcastle (closed), Leeds (closed), Glasgow (closed), and Croydon (closed).

Kanaloa was a UK-based chain of tiki bars. This location in Newcastle opened in August 2012 inside of the Tiger Tiger nightclub complex, and was more of a nightclub than a lounge. The space was designed by CheekyTiki. Kanaloa had a bridge entrance, into a room lined with bac-bac matting, with a bamboo-covered bar, and rattan seating. A cluster of glass floats decorated the ceiling. There was a cover charge for entry some evenings.

The space appears to have reverted back to a Tiger Tiger nightclub sometime around 2014-2015? and then later converted to Shoreditch in March 2020.
