The S.O.S. opened on November 5, 2015, in a space that had previously held Paper Plane. Like its predecessor, it is a sister to the neighboring Victory restaurant. The look of the small space is upscale tropical, with dim lights providing the bulk of the mood, and an assist from a few small hula girl lamps and strategically placed orchids. The emphasis here is on the drinks: a full menu of classics and originals. Many drinks on the menu are offered in scaled-up versions for sharing. There is a small menu of tiki-appropriate food available, like spare ribs and coconut shrimp.

Shrunken Head Tropic Lounge was a modern tiki bar combining elements of mid-century Polynesian pop culture with Caribbean and general tropical influences. The bar was opened by California transplant Jonny VerPlanck in 2013. The decor was simple, with large shrunken heads and the bar's name painted on the walls, and a lauhala-fronted bar. Carved tiki poles flanked the back bar.

Tiffany and Conrad Hildebrand bought Shrunken Head from Jonny VerPlanck in 2015.

While the bar’s customer base dwindled over the following years, Hildebrand said, Shrunken Head’s catering business flourished, offering bar service at events throughout Mid-Missouri like weddings, corporate parties and concerts — including downtown Jefferson City’s Angiepalooza and The Millbottom’s Fourth of July party, for example.

“Instead of just closing down everything, we’re going to just close down the bar and focus on the catering,” she said.

The bar closed on February 23, 2019.

More information about Shrunken Head’s catering is available on its Facebook page or by calling Hildebrand at 573-338-5455. Their business is now called Shrunken Head's Mobile Bar & Tropical Drinks.

Concrete Jungle opened a bit south of San Antonio's downtown in December 2014. Its look was a bit rough-and-tumble, recalling the graffiti-meets-tiki vibe of NYC's Painkiller. Like that bar, the focus here was on creating high-quality tiki cocktails, a mix of classics and their own modern recipes, led by beverage director Rene Trevino. There was a small menu of bar food available (including Avocado Crab Rangoon); bar owner Rudolfo Martinez made his name with a popular food truck. Concrete Jungle closed in August 2016.

The Myna Bird was a tiki bar in the International Market Place in Honolulu, opened on May 19, 2017. The small bar was part of The Street, a food-court-like collection of restaurants and bars by Michael Mina. The tiki bar paid tribute to the Don the Beachcomber restaurant in Waikiki, which was the anchor of the original International Market Place.

Closed on 11/08/2020.

UPDATE: This space was re-named the Tipsy Tiki with little to no change in decor and re-opened some time prior to December 2021.

The Yachtsman was opened in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia in August 2014 by partners Tommy Up and Sarah Brown. Tommy Up has a longstanding interest in vintage tiki bars, including visits in much of his travels. The decor was in keeping with the classic tiki theme, with A-frame structures behind the bar, walls lined with lauhala matting, and plenty of thatch and bamboo throughout. The drinks menu included modern drinks and classics, all prepared with a craft cocktail sensibility. The Yachtsman closed in May 2017.

Nui Nui and the North Shore Lagoon are part of McMenamins Anderson School complex, and opened on October 15, 2015. The Anderson School is no longer a school. It opened in 1931 as Bothell Junior High School, and now lives on as a collection of attractions: a hotel, a brewery, a movie theater, restaurants, bars, the North Shore Lagoon (a swimming pool), and the Nui Nui tiki bar.

The Nui Nui tiki bar is decorated in traditional style, with lots of bamboo, distressed wood and driftwood, and pufferfish, bamboo and tapa cloth lamps. The soundtrack includes Exotica classics. The tiki bar overlooks the swimming pool. There is an extensive spirits list, including over 80 rums. The tropical cocktails are made with the classic recipes, including a Mai Tai, Zombie and Suffering Bastard.

If you'd like to swim in the pool, it is open to non-hotel guests for 2-hour open swims during the day; at the very beginning and end of the day swimming in the pool is for hotel guests only.

*Kapu Hut in Eugene, Oregon is also a McMenamins property.

Tiki Bar Head Hunter is a small but thoroughly decorated tiki bar inside Omote-machi Play Town in Okayama. It opened in November 2011, and is owned by Yosiaki Taniguchi. Logo artwork was created for the bar by Mookie Sato.

The bar is encrusted with bamboo and festooned with netting, with thatch and float lamps and pufferfish and everything you want to see in a classic tiki bar.

Though the space is small, live acts perform regularly at Head Hunter, with an emphasis on musicians that get the mid-century American vibe.

Head Hunter is cash only.

Trader Sam's Grog Grotto opened at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort in 2015. It is the sister of Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar, found at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. Like the bar in Anaheim, the Grog Grotto is a twin tribute to both the Enchanted Tiki Room and Jungle Cruise attractions. It is densely decorated and intensely themed, just as you would hope to find in a Disney tiki bar.

Like the Jungle Cruise, the crew members at the Grog Grotto are trained to give you a theatrical, goofy, fun experience. Some drink orders trigger special effects around the room (order a Polynesian Pearl and watch your bartender retrieve your pearl from a large clamshell), and several drinks are served in souvenir mugs. The decor is a mix of tiki and nautical, with some nods to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and also includes pieces left over from the old Adventurer's Club that used to be part of Downtown Disney in Orlando. The menu is limited, with several small plates. There is also outdoor seating at the adjacent, relatively lightly-themed Tiki Terrace.

The Grog Grotto was added as part of a big refresh of the Polynesian Village Resort in 2015.

Children are welcome at the Grog Grotto during the day, but after 8pm it is only open to those 21 and older.

The Pacific opened in February 2014, and was a sister location to The Tiki Bar & Kitsch Inn, also in Glasgow. Tropical cocktails were served in unique tiki mugs made by Garnet McCulloch of Fireworks Studio. The food menu was a mix of American and Thai. The space was small and not densely decorated, but a small bar was trimmed with bamboo and lauhala matting, and there were pufferfish lamps hanging from the ceiling.

Closed December, 2017 and rebranded as a new restaurant called Honu -- serving a medley of exotic foods (for Glasgow) including Thai, Korean, hamburgers, etc...and a craft cocktail menu... but all the tiki and kitsch has been stripped away.

Since 2009, B.G. Reynolds has been selling the syrups needed for classic tropical drinks: orgeat, passion fruit, cinnamon, vanilla, special Don the Beachcomber blends, and more. The brand was originally called "Trader Tiki" and changed to "B.G. Reynolds" in 2011. In November 2015, this tasting room and storefront opened in southeast Portland. In addition to the syrups, the store also offered barware, tiki mugs, pre-mixed bottled tropical drinks, vintage aloha wear, and special cocktail mixing classes. The retail store closed in April 2016, but the syrups are still available from their online store, and are distributed to stores across the country.

The Golden Tiki opened in Las Vegas' Chinatown on July 24, 2015. The man behind The Golden Tiki, Branden Powers, has been part of the nightclub scene in Las Vegas for some time now (he was Creative Director at the Hard Rock Hotel), but is himself a longtime lover of Tiki, having spent some of his youth DJing Exotica tunes at the Islands Restaurant in San Diego's Hanalei Hotel.

The Golden Tiki is in a large space, 4,000 square feet, and split into four different zones. The interior design and build out were done by Danny "Tiki Diablo" Gallardo. The bar has a thatched roof, and is topped by an animatronic talking tiki head, named Goldy, created by Erik "Irk" Hedman. A loveseat-sized artificial giant clam is popular for photos.

A flaming pu-pu platter is available on Friday and Saturday nights.

The greatest honor at The Golden Tiki is to have your head shrunken and enshrined in their glass case, wherein you can see many celebrities, Las Vegas personalities, and Tiki icons.

Kapu Hut is the tiki bar within North Bank, a McMenamins restaurant, overlooking the Willamette River. North Bank used to have a non-tiki bar, but in October 2014, it was tikified and became Kapu Hut. There is a small menu of Polynesian Pop-tinged food available, and the drink menu has tropical drinks and over 60 rums. Given McMenamins' focus on brewpubs, it makes sense that there is an unusual (for a tiki bar) number of beers available here, too. The theming is light, and mixes Tiki with Asian and African elements.

McMenamins also owns the North Shore Lagoon at the Anderson School in Bothell, Washington (north of Seattle).
