Open at least as early as 1967 but might have been built earlier, closer to 1960.

This huge A-Frame store carried all sorts of exotic goods, including gifts, sportswear, and gourmet food from all over the globe.

It had a statue of the trader himself on the roofline below the peak of the A-frame.

Mentioned in the book, Tiki Pop, by Sven Kirsten -- page 102 -- as having multiple locations. One other location, perhaps the best recognized, was in Yarmouth, Massachusetts.

Opened in 1960, Honeymoon Haven was located in the Pocono Mountains at Viking Heights -- Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania.

They catered exclusively to honeymooners with "modern and colonial cottages...step down living room...canopy bed...wall-to-wall carpeting...all-stone fireplace...radiant heated bathroom with sunken tub...sun tan in your own bathroom...television."

The resort also offered "All indoor and outdoor sports...New indoor pool and solarium...New twin heart outdoor pool...bowling alleys...New ski tow...Polynesian cocktail lounge...and beauty salon."

Honeymoon Heaven ran until 1972, when it was purchased for re-development and became, as it is presently, The Pocono Environmental Education Center -- offering guided nature trips and overnight cabins.

Opened in 1974.

From the August 22, 1974 Chicago Tribune:

"A Polynesian restaurant tucked away in a little shopping center called White Plains. Unusually good food in the Chinese-Cantonese tradition accented with an occasional American touch such as steak with salad and french fries. Soft and soothing background taped music of Hawaii. Interior design, overall ambiance remindful of all the other Polynesian restaurants that you've visited in the States, including Hawaii. But why Northbrook for so many restaurants? Isn't there a satiation point? ECHOING comments of many other restaurateurs of the area was Wally Chin's emphatic 'This is a going community! New homes are going up; new industries coming in.' Mr. Chin, who is co-owner of Kahala Terrace with his brother, Bob Chin, points to a developing industrial park across the highway from the Kahala. Easy access to Northbrook via Edens Expressway, and elimination of parking problems also are positive factors. FARTHER NORTH at County Line and Lee Roads in Northbrook, a proposed courtyard of nationality restaurants in a prestigious shopping area that will include Neiman-Marcus and Lord and Taylor specialty stores and a Sears Roebuck department store, is scheduled for completion in the fall of 1975. Blueprints for the p r o j e c t Northbrook Court also call for parks, small lakes, and condominiums on the 130-acre property. Although many of the residents of the area are vehemently protesting the mammoth project, construction presently is continuing.

Owners of Kahala Terrace are not newcomers to the suburbs. After a year as maitre d' at Kon Tiki Ports in the Sheraton-Chicago. 505 N. Michigan Av., Wally Chin operated Chan's Tea House in Highland Park for 10 years. Bob Chin continues as owner of the House of Chan, a catering establishment in Wilmette, and now manages catering facilities for the Kahala also. Barmaids at the Kahala, which specializes in exotic mixed drinks, are Wally's daughter, Judy, and Bob's daughter, Marilyn, fresh from bartending school. Restauranteuring, in fact, is a way of life for the Chin family. Wally and Bob's brother, Henry, is proprietor of the House of Chinn, an excellent Cantonese restaurant at 6355 N. Western Av. A FOURTH brother, Howard, operates New Wilson Village, a surprisingly good restaurant in a shabby old block at 1120-22 Wilson Av., established by the brothers' parents some 40 years ago.

Evening specialty of the house is the Kahala version of a Polynesian Iuau at $7.50 per person, beginning with soup or juice and a platter of appetizers egg rolls, crab rangoon, shrimp, barbecued ribs, pineapple in chicken. Six main courses that change daily, always including beef, chicken, and seafood dishes, are arranged at an elaborate self-help buffet."

Despite this overall good opening review and the bonafides of Wally as a maitre d' at Kon Tiki Ports, the interior of the restaurant screams 70s tiki devolution with the lack of decor, the 70s flower print cushions on the rattan chairs, the exposed brickwork, and the cedar shingles in lieu of proper thatching.

Ads show that Kahala Terrace was open at least as late as 1983.

NOTES:

*Bob Chin lived to be 99 and died April 15th, 2022. His biggest and best known restaurant was Bob Chinn's Crab House in Chicago, which he started in 1982. It would be his 14th restaurant and the longest lasting. He served the same mai-tais there that he did at the Kahala Terrace location.

**As of 2022, the location of Kahala Terrace is now home to a FastSigns print shop.

Opened May 19th, 2012.

The design of this bar was a collaboration with input from renowned tiki carver, Marcus Thorn (a.k.a. Tiki Beat).

It was Perth’s only portside tiki bar, serving more than 20 different types of cocktails, as well as three of its own speciality cocktails, made with Newport Spiced Rum.

Drinks were served in green-glazed tiki mugs modeled after a carving by Marcus Thorn (seen with pinup model Masuimi Max below from a photoshoot), adding to the bar’s overall ambience.

It was located within the Newport Hotel (The Newy), on the corner of South Terrace, at the end of Fremantle’s busy cafe strip.

The Newport Hotel closed December 24th, 2021 for a major rebrand into Flight Club social darts venue. Tiki Beat was closed as well.

Located across from the Cozumel ferry terminal, Cocomama Tiki Room Bar was started in 2020 as a mocktails only concept, but then later they associated with the Casa del Habano bar which allowed them to make drinks with alcohol as well.

The bar had bamboo decor and featured tropical-inspired cocktails served in locally made tiki mugs as well as food dishes such as guacamole, ceviche, and fish tacos.

It was well received both by the islanders, as well as by the tourists who cross from Playa del Carmen and those who arrive mainly on cruise ships.

House specialty cocktails included the Cocomama, Thousand Special, and the Astral Trip.

*NOTE: According to Spike's Breezeway (see their youtube tour in links below), Cocomama's is now closed. They appear to have been open through February of 2025.

Opened in mid December 2021.

This was the newly opened space for the former Honi Honi in Hong Kong.

Maka Hiki translated to "new beginning" in Hawaiian and took inspiration from a wide range of island and beach sanctuaries scattered from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, Polynesia to Southeast Asia. Maka Hiki took over the space formerly inhabited by Bond, reimagining the interior in a material palette of timber, bamboo and eye-catching tropical wallpapers. The outside terrace also contributed to the feeling of escape.

Helming the kitchen was chef Russell Doctrove, previously of Maximal Concepts, who ideated breakfast, lunch and dinner menus to sustain the tiki vibes from morning to night. Signatures included the Hawaiian-style tuna poke, grilled mahi-mahi, and a 48-hour slow-cooked beef rib with tamarind jaew BBQ sauce.

Cocktails also formed a large part of the experience, with drinks by the name of Tik Tok Tiki, Dum Dum Give Me Rum Rum, and Maka Hiki Punch continuing the Honi Honi tradition of spiriting patrons away to a faraway paradisiacal beach.

Closed in May of 2024.

Grand Opening on January 26th, 1960 and stayed open for about 25 years.

Ziegler’s Charcoal House, located in East Lansing’s Frandor Shopping Center, included an adjacent tiki bar called the Boom Boom Room.

Their most memorable cocktail was a bowl drink for six or more called "The Flaming Orgy".

August 10th, 1988, an auction was held to sell all of the interior decor and kitchen equipment.

Opened in 1963 with the reputation of being the first upscale Chinese restaurant in Hawaii.

As one postcard proclaims: "One of the most beautiful Chinese Restaurants in the world offering superb Cantonese cuisine, graciously served in an atmosphere enhanced by fine art reproductions. Kuan-yin, the Goddess of Mercy, carved in 5 feet of rosewood, greets diners at the second floor landing of the restaurant and Waikiki's only indoor waterfall is presided over by the God of Longevity."

Raymond Hong took his restaurant chefs to China for training and they introduced Peking duck to Honolulu.

In its heyday the restaurant was the place for glittering celebrities and for ordinary people marking special occasions, looking to enjoy a multi-course Cantonese dinner over several hours.

Closed in April 2005 and eventually replaced by the new Outrigger Hotels & Resorts' Waikiki Beachwalk project.

Although not a tiki restaurant, most tiki restaurants at this time (and many today) served the same Chinese food and tropical drinks -- and House of Hong did have several drinks that came in ceramic mugs made by Otagiri.

Opened on October 10th, 2021 in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

Lono Cove's "contemporary tiki bar" brand had already been well-established in Chester (2018-2022) and had won a handful of industry awards. Branching out from what owner Luke Edge called its "prototype site" in the city of Chester, this new bar in Manchester’s Northern Quarter was a larger and more expansive version by all accounts.

Formerly the site of Apotheca on Thomas Street.

Appears to have closed @ April 2024.

The Sing family operated Sing's Polynesian Restaurant and Lounge since 1969 in the Penobscot Plaza in Bangor, Maine.

They later decided to expand southward to Greater Portland where they opened Sing's Cantonese Polynesian American Restaurant and Lounge at 152 Main Street, Westbrook. The family lacked the management structure necessary to operate two such widely separated restaurants and closed the Westbrook location by 1976. This Westbrook location became site of the Polynesian Village until its close in 1997.

Sing's in Bangor is now the site of Hero's sports bar.

There was also a Sing's location in Lewiston, open at least as late as 1980 (color photo of sign below may have been from the Lewiston location).

"The Kau Kau Restaurant, at 1115 1/2 Second Avenue, took up the Polynesian theme in 1958 with tropical cocktails and authentic Cantonese dinners until 2:00 AM. Owner Wai C. Eng thoroughly remodeled the place in 1965 with new seating arrangements, wall paneling and booth lighting in the main dining room. Thirteen years later, Eng started up a branch location in Chinatown called the Kau Kau Barbecue Market; it was principally a lunch place and contrary to the name, had not much barbecue on the menu--mostly mein and sweet-and-sour dishes. The downtown Kau Kau closed in 1985; the barbecue evolved into the still-existing Kau Kau Restaurant on King Street." -- from Lost Restaurants of Seattle by Chuck Flood (2017)

This location operated in the 1960s and appears to have been torn down around 1968.

It is now home to Moonridge Marina, a private community located 1 mile south of the Parker Dam, fronting the Arizona side of the Colorado River.
