Three Dots and a Dash was the creation of star bartender Paul McGee, in partnership with Lettuce Entertain You, a Chicago area restaurant group. The bar is named for the classic Don the Beachcomber drink, itself a WWII call for victory using the Morse code for "V." The focus at Three Dots and a Dash is on cocktails, but it also delivers on the special Polynesian Pop details we've come to expect... most notably on the beautifully detailed souvenir mugs. There is a small menu of food, including a flaming Pu-Pu Platter.

In November 2014, Paul McGee left Three Dots and a Dash, and in January 2015 opened Lost Lake (However, Lost Lake is closed since January 2022).

The Three Dots and a Dash space is divided up into several sections, including The Bamboo Room (an exclusive 22-seat bar-within-a-bar opened in 2019). Led by Beverage Director Kevin Beary, The Bamboo Room was recognized as one of Esquire’s “Best Bars in America” in 2022. An ode to rum and rhum agricoles, the menu is composed of refined and focused rum drinks presented across multiple cocktail styles. Separate menu shown below...

Lani Kai was a Hawaiian-inspired (but not tiki) restaurant and bar in lower Manhattan. It was opened in 2010 by Julie Reiner, who grew up in Hawaii and has been behind several high-end cocktail spots in Manhattan including Pegu Club, Flatiron Lounge and Clover Club. While Reiner made it clear that Lani Kai was not intended to be a tiki bar, she and her staff knew traditional tropical cocktails inside-out, and executed them perfectly.

The space was dimly lit, mainly by candles... no beachcomber lamps here. The seating and tables were sleek and streamlined, and the rooms had lots of green plants. The feel of the spot was that of a modern, high-end spa in a Hawaiian resort. The upper level had restaurant seating and a small bar, and the lower level had a spacious bar area with a fireplace.

Lani Kai closed abruptly in the early fall of 2012.

The American Museum of Natural History has a permanent exhibit dedicated to Oceanic art, the Margaret Mead Hall of Pacific Peoples. Margaret Mead was an anthropologist at the museum from 1926 until her death in 1978. She is most famous for her influence on American thinking about sexuality; she herself was influenced by the differing attitudes towards sex she encountered during her expeditions to the South Pacific.

The hall contains a wide array of anthropological pieces from Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia. The anchor of the hall is a 15-foot reproduction of a moai from Rapa Nui, which famously came to life in the film Night at the Museum, bringing a more steady flow of traffic to the hall.

Pieces like those on display at the Hall of Pacific Peoples were a heavy influence on the graphic artists who created the logos, menus and tiki mugs for Polynesian restaurants in mid-20th century America.

Opened @ 2000.

The Bungalow Tropical Lounge was a three-story tropical-themed bar and restaurant, specializing in exotic cocktails and Thai food.

The decor was more vaguely tropical than Polynesian, but some traditional tiki drinks could be found there.

They had one area with several swinging rattan chairs that you could literally hang out in.

The rooftop had a "beach" area with real sand and plastic flamingos.

Closed at end of December 2020.

Tiki Bar opened in January 2008 in Ponferrada, in the province of Len. The bar served tropical cocktails and hosted live music, mainly rock & roll. The bar was a celebration of midcentury American pop culture.

It appears they closed some time in 2010 to 2011.

The location is now home to La Posada Club.

There is another Tiki Bar location on the other side of Spain at Calle La Rioja, 39, Gandía. It opened in 2010.

Open at least as early as 1968.

Outrigger Club in Ardmore, Oklahoma was within the Clayton House Motel, which was later the Rio Motor Hotel.

The hotel is now an Economy Inn, and the A-frame entrance to the restaurant is still there.

There was a sister Outrigger Club in Oklahoma City.

The Tiki Bar & Kitsch Inn is a tiki bar and restaurant in Glasgow, Scotland, it opened in November 2010. It is divided into two levels: the downstairs is the Tiki Bar, and the upstairs is the midcentury modern Kitsch Inn, serving Thai food. The drink menu is a mix of classic Tiki cocktails and modern originals, served in unique tiki mugs made by Garnet McCulloch of Fireworks Studio.

There was a sister location, also in Glasgow, called The Pacific (closed in 2017).

Lanai was a very short-lived Polynesian restaurant -- it opened in 1961, and by 1962 had morphed into the legendary Hawaii Kai. It was above the Winter Garden Theatre in the Theater District north of Times Square. Lanai was a partnership between Joe Kipness (who went on to own the Hawaii Kai with other partners) and Monte Proser, who two decades earlier had opened his Monte Proser's Beachcomber in this same spot. The Lanai logo of sarong-clad woman holding a theatrical-meets-tiki mask to her face was used for some mugs at Hawaii Kai.

This was part of Monte Proser's chain of Beachcomber restaurants. It purported to be the home of the Zombie -- the restaurant name, concept and drink had been lifted from Don the Beachcomber in Hollywood. It was located in the Crown Hotel. The interiors were created by Clark Robinson. The first Monte Proser's Beachcomber was in the Theater District north of Times Square in New York City; there were additional locations in Miami Beach, Boston and Baltimore.

Sometime around the late '40s, the Beachcomber changed ownership, and became Ruby Foo's Beachcomber. Ruby Foo's was a chain out of Boston.

Opened in the early 1940s.
