Opened @ 2018.

This is a small outdoor Tiki Bar/ Snackbar south of Leipzig/Germany.

Opened in 2016 in Barranco, Lima, Peru. This is one of three locations in Peru, which include Barranco, Punta Hermosa, and San Borja.

Barranco, towards the south, is one of 43 districts in Lima, Peru.

Curayacu makes the claim of being the first tiki bar in Peru.

The interior design of the bar makes good use of tiki style colored lighting and they do have natural materials, bamboo, and fish float lights, as well as tiki masks and framed prints from tiki artists in abundance. Some sections appear a bit rustic, with sealed plywood walls and concrete floors, but others are more finished with tile and other materials.

Their menu has many classic tiki cocktails as well as some of their own in-house signature drinks. They also boast over 120 rum labels behind the bar.

They serve cocktails in tiki mugs, many of which were made specifically for this location, including a signature tiki mug in several color-ways and a unique-looking Frank Sinatra zombie mug!

Long before Waikiki was developed as a tourist destination, it was a favorite residence and recreational center for Hawaiian kings and chiefs. King Kamehameha I had his home where The Royal Hawaiian stands today, and Queen Kaahumanu’s Summer Palace was previously located on what is now the resort’s Coconut Grove.

The opening of The Royal Hawaiian on February 1, 1927, ushered in a new era of luxurious resort travel to Hawaii. The resort was built with a price tag of $4 million, and was completed in 18 months. The six-story, 400-room structure was fashioned in a Spanish-Moorish style, popular during the period and influenced by screen star Rudolph Valentino. The first general manager of the hotel, Arthur Benaglia, presided over a staff of 300, including ten elevator operators and lobby boys dressed in “Cathayan” costume. At the grand opening’s black-tie gala celebration, members of the Honolulu Symphony entertained over 1,200 guests at the $10-a-plate event-of-the-year. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin described the newly opened Royal Hawaiian as “the first resort hostelry in America.” Built on 15 acres of beautiful beach frontage, the luxurious hotel with its distinctive Moorish-style architecture, painted pink, was promoted world-wide as a premier visitor destination. Elaborate opening ceremonies and festivities included dinner and dancing, concerts, and pageants.

The era of opulence came to an abrupt end on the morning of December 7, 1941 when Japanese planes flew alongside Waikiki Beach on its way to the US fleet berthed at Pearl Harbor. The Navy recreation and morale office leased The Royal Hawaiian, transforming the resort into a major rest and relaxation center for the Navy personnel. The resort was restored to its pre-war elegance in 1947.

Since then, the Royal Hawaiian has always remained pink, but has nonetheless undergone many changes over the years.

One such change is reflected in the quiet removal of the hotel's one and only tiki statue. This cement tiki was moulded by Homer Merrill, an island artist, and was a representation of the Shark God Kamuualii or Kamohoali'i, brother to Pele and known as the Fisherman's Friend. This mammoth version, six feet high on a three-foot base, stood on the lawn of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel since the 1910s, although in his final years the hotel was embarrassed about the sculpture and allowed vegetation to grow around it -- then finally ordered a contractor to knock it over one night and dispose of it during a round of renovations in 2009. Today, only the feet of the tiki remain, hidden behind some plants. The full and original tiki can be seen below...

Another change is the closing of the famous Surf Room - replaced by the Surf Lanai on the same footprint.

After passing through the colonial-style Royal Hawaiian lobby, one will find the property's Mai Tai Bar nestled in back, the bar itself a small hut sitting against the ocean. The Mai Tai bar was once a large outside dance floor back in the day. You'll still have to watch your footwork, though, especially if you work your way through all the menu's mai-tai variations!

Opened circa late 50s and hit its peak in the 60s, but lasted into the 70s.

Shipwreck Kelly's was located at 270 Lewers St., at the base of the Holiday Isle Hotel which took up much of the corner of Lewers/Kalakaua.

The exterior entrance was located under red and white striped awnings, with a large anchor on display.

The interior featured an over the top nautical atmosphere with nightly entertainment from the "Crow's Nest" stage.

Since 2007, with the creation of the Waikiki Beach Walk, this entire area has been redeveloped and no signs of the original structure remain. Today, as of 2023, the footprint of Shipwreck Kelly's appears now taken up by the Hokulani Hilton Grand Vacations Club.

Opened in 1962 by Larry Jue.

This location had a cool palm tree sign outside. Inside, they had a small menu of tiki cocktails which they served in mugs. However, other than this, the decor and food menu were traditional Chinese American.

Closed in 2003-2004.

Opened @ 1964.

From The Hawaiian:

"The Hawaiian - an island paradise situated across the Common in the heart of Boston - excels in Polynesian and Cantonese Cuisine. Leisurely atmosphere and relaxing informality, induced by a wide array of tempting island drinks served at the Waikiki Lounge, mark the Hawaiian as Boston's best Polynesian restaurant."

There was a connection between The South Seas restaurants, Anita Chue's, and The Hawaiian Restaurant. It appears Anita Chue was instrumental in starting these establishments but that she moved on after a short time and Henry Oi took over and ran them for many years.

In 1965, The Hawaiian added a discotheque area and had a free green Ku mug promotion for the opening.

Closed @ 1972.

A tiki-style beach bar in the north of Germany.

After a visit in Florida, Danny, his wife and his mum opened up this little beach bar in 2021. They prefer a brightly-colored tiki style. They offer good cocktails and a lot of snacks. All Tiki enthusiasts are welcome and they love to get information/ feedback from the Tiki community.

The previous restaurant had a bad fire in 1954, killing 2 employees, then another fire on January 28 1961, which destroyed the building during the end of a Polynesian themed remodel of the previous restaurant.

They kept going, however, with their original plans, and the Polynesian remodel was completed. Saxony South Seas opened in early September of 1961.

From an October 25th, 1961 review:

"The Saxony South Seas boasted authentic South Seas decoration, including 48 carvings of various sizes from exotic places such as Samoa, Tahiti and Hawaii. Behind the bar stood a massive 1300 pound Tiki idol, while the back bar was inlaid with mother of pearl - 3000 pieces - all hand inlaid, weighing 65 pounds. The manager Richard Tierney said the restaurant incorporates what the management considered the best elements of famous Polynesian restaurants throughout the country. 'We used native materials, imported trough a San Francisco agent, then refined the atmosphere to what we thought would be attractive to our Milwaukee patrons.' The restaurant sat 170.

Leon Garces was the Filipino chef who came from the Beachcomber's in Chicago. 'The forte of the bar, of course, is rum drinks. Most come in exotic containers, such as the Tonga, called a sorcerer's blend and served in a ceramic miniature Easter Island figure. The Volcano is served in a real coconut and consists of gin, brandy, rum and pineapple juice, garnished with an orchid.'"

This elaborate South Seas theme only lasted 3 years until 1964 when the restaurant changed back to serving "American" cuisine...

Today, as of 2023, this site appears to be home to The Shul Center, a synagogue.

Opened November 19th, 2015 by Glen Hoyer and Lisa Diblasio.

Located in the Tequesta Fashion Mall.

This store stocks a wide assortment of tiki and tropical fashion and decor, including carvings, mugs, shirts, jewelry, paintings, books, and much more...

The Tiki Room started out at the Toltec Building in December of 2020 and then moved to this new space in January 2023.

By all accounts this is a larger space. However, customers will recognize the tikis and other design elements from the old location.

There is also continuity with a similar drink menu to the old location. The food menu, however, is expanded.

Situated next to historic Duranguito in Union Plaza, The Tiki Room is located near Southwest University Stadium, the El Paso Convention Center, the Museum of Art, San Jacinto Plaza and more.

Opened in November 2019 by Neal Warner and his brother Paul Warner in partnership with Love Handle’s Chris and Ally Benedyk and Flatland Kitchen designers Eric and Rebekah Nolan.

This is yet another newer bar that eschews the title of "Tiki Bar" but reaches deeply into the genre/category, borrowing much of its atmosphere and, of course, its drinks. The owners prefer to call Strange Bird a "Rum Bar" or "Landlocked Exotica" and acknowledge the tiki-leanings but state that they have purposefully kept things a bit more spare with what they consider "cleaner" and more "minimalist lines".

While there may be no tiki carvings on display, there is a ton of lauhala matting behind the backbar which is overseen by a taxidermied wild boar who looks like he would be right at home at a Hawaiian luau. Some contrasting walls are wall-papered in a large banana leaf print. Nearby booths are bordered with variated bamboo. The roof is blanketed with loose thatch panels that give a nice hut-like feel. Fish trap lamps, and round capiz shell lamps give plenty of mood lighting. This is contrasted with white painted boards on the front of the bar and white modern barstools, but this use of white calls to mind not so much a spare modern aesthetic as it does the sides of a white-painted boat's hull, and plays off all the nautical rope looped about.

Opened in 1918.

Sun Hung Heung was by all accounts a traditional Chinese Restaurant without Polynesian Pop decor, however they did offer tropical cocktails on their menu and served them in mugs made by OMC.

Sun Hung Heung was erroneously called Sam Heung in famous Beat Author Jack Kerouack's Desolation Angels, which was published in 1965, just a few years before their grand 50th anniversary. Kerouack often looked forward to having a midnight meal here, at this modest family-style restaurant. He wrote that he wanted to walk around the city for hours with a pint bottle, then sit in a booth in this "marvelous old restaurant."

Later incorporated in 1978 and dissolved in 1997.

Today, as of 2023, this location is now Chinatown Restaurant.
