Opened in 1967.

This was the International Market Place Trader Vic's. There was another Trader Vic's in Hawaii prior to this, on Ward Avenue in Honolulu.

Opened in 1995, this was a store in Venice owned by Joe O’Brien, a surfer who followed his passion for the ocean and incorporated it into his interior design, collecting vintage items that brought that tropical beach feel. Joe's wares included reproduced vintage fabrics as well as authentic beach furniture from a time gone by.

It is now home to Pretties, a lingerie shop.

The Polynesian Room (now called The Tiki Bar) is located in the Waldorf Hotel.

The hotel was established in 1947 and is one of the most renowned tiki-themed hotels in North America.

For much of the '90s and '00s, it was available only as a rental hall for private events. The Waldorf came under new ownership in late 2010, and the new owners have re-emphasized the Polynesian Pop angle. The Polynesian Room was renovated and restored, and a new era-appropriate analog sound system was installed. It reopened to the public in early November 2010.

It is made up of three rooms, the Polynesian Room (now the Tiki Bar), Tahitian Room (now the Tabu Room), and Menehune Room (now the Hideaway). The Polynesian Room has a large collection of black velvet paintings by Edgar Leeteg, collected by one of the original owners of the hotel, Bob Mills. One of these, The Tahitian Drummer, was used on much of their early advertising, especially on their swizzle sticks.

Opened in 1961.

This Trader Vic's was located in the Westin Bayshore Resort & Marina, in an A-frame building designed by architect Reno Negrin.

It closed in 1996.

After closing, the Bayshore sold the building to David Whiffin of Vancouver Island and he had the structure transported there, where it still rests today, at least as of 2020.

The Kon Tiki Lounge (no relation to the Steven Crane Kon-Tiki chain) is a classic original tiki bar. Open since 1961 according to the old Critiki site (January 30th, 1962 according to the Arizona Daily Star and 1963 according to the Kon Tiki website), the Kon Tiki Lounge has seen modern-day Tucson grow up around it on all sides. It is tucked back a bit on its busy street, surrounded by strip malls and small office buildings. The small-looking building feels a bit out-of-place. There is an almost lush little garden area out front, with tikis and a small "water feature" -- Tucson's arid climate wouldn't easily support a pond, so a tiled mosaic pond is in its place, with a small walkable bridge over it. To the left of the building was a great old Milan Guanko tiki originally purchased from Gray's Nursery and which was eventually brought in to the outdoor patio area for its protection.

Inside, the restaurant is dark and mysterious, with no windows, and much of the original decor still in place. A former aviary behind the bar is a jarring flash of light -- it used to house parrots, then a lizard cage, now it is used as an outdoor patio space. Large bamboo, gorgeous light fixtures, and tikis aplenty are throughout. The room is structured with smaller sub-rooms encased by bamboo and thatch dividers, giving a feeling of coziness and mystery.

The menus are standard fare for an old tiki bar -- barbecue ribs & similar items for food, and lots of tropical drinks (though a bit on the sweet & sugary side).

Today, the Kon Tiki's future continues to look very bright. It has been kept open through the years with a never-ending supply of college kids who love the place and keep it packed on weekends. These people are who we have to thank for keeping the place alive, but it's a bit more enjoyable when visited earlier in the day or on a weeknight, when the music is more in keeping with the environs and the place isn't so packed with bodies that the decor can't be seen.

In recent years the management has been working on spiffing up the place, while keeping it classic. The Kon Tiki now has their own tiki mug, designed for the Milan Guanko tiki outside (now in the outdoor patio), and has undergone some sprucing up courtesy of Bamboo Ben. A new Bamboo Ben bar looks like it has always been there.

Jade East was owned by Henry Jin, who also owned the Ricsha on Brookside. He passed away in 1993 (probably the beginning of the decline of the Jade East).

Jade East had two 10' tall redwood tikis in front (matched pair of male and female). These were carved by Saint Claire Homer II (Homma), a local carver, and held up the port cochere. They now reside in a private collection.

Homer was Native American and raised in Oklahoma. He served with Patton in WWII and studied art in Rome after the war. His grandfather was secretary of the Choctaw tribe at one time. His German mother taught art in Sand Springs in the 1970s while in her 70s. Homer made a living carving cigar store Indians and and selling them out of his '51 Cadillac in the Southwest of the late 1950s. His stylized bronzes have been shown at the Gilcrease Museum. He was named one of nine master artists of the Five Civilized Tribes in 1976. He signed his pieces "Homma", Choctaw for "Proud Red".

Jade East is now a restaurant called Tokyo Garden. Bamboo curtains, a rockface waterfall and the bridge over a koi pond are still there.

Aloha: A Taste of Hawaii closed in 2003.

This restaurant operated under three owners and three names in 2003. It went from Aloha: A Taste of Hawaii to 2 Palms Island (same owners) then Cancun Cove (two different owners). The first Cancun Cove owners were there only a couple of months before Adkins and Josephine Bautista acquired the restaurant and decided to keep the name. This final incarnation served a mix of Filipino/American food.

The tropical decor remained pretty much the same throughout the changes with thatched-roof accents around the ceiling, a long rock fountain at the entrance, colorful wall murals, mustard- and maroon-colored walls and a mixture of red carpet and hardwood floors.

As of 2021, this space is home to Sutures, a medical themed pub inspired by the growth of hospital and medical buildings prevalent in this South Tulsa neighborhood.

Built in 1961. The Kona Kai apartments are located just half a block from the Eli Kai Apartments.

There is a stone carved tiki out by the pool.

The Tiki Aloha Apartments were originally called the Tiki Tabu Apartments. They opened in January of 1963 and were still calling themselves the Tiki Tabu Apartments as late as 1965.

Developed by Ray Watt, designed by Phil Blair, and built by Dan Ostrow. From a concept by Dan Ostrow. Originally opened with 35 available apartments, most of which were leased immediately in the first 6 weeks.

The building has two peaked a-frames with outrigger beams, and support posts carved with tiki faces. The grounds once had many tiki carvings and thatch details, and some still remain, although some of the bigger carvings like the two that flanked the front entrance are no longer there.

Opened in 1965. The name "Eli Kai" translates to "Peaceful Garden" in Hawaiian.

The complex sports a nice A-frame. There is an underground parking garage and the units start on the second floor. A unique rock wall fountain, long ago turned off, still evokes the time period, and there are a plethora of tikis, from the Marquesan tiki beam holding up the ceiling outside the manager's office to the more decorative beams all throughout the complex.

The original show which premiered in Tokyo Disneyland at the park's opening in 1983 is long gone. In 1999 it closed to make way for The Enchanted Tiki Room: Now Playing Get The Fever!, which was a Las Vegas-style lounge music show. In 2008, Stitch took over the Tiki Room with Stitch Presents "Aloha E Komo Mai!"

The Tokyo Trader Vic's opened in 1974, and is located within the Hotel New Otani in Chiyoda City (Chiyoda City is a special ward located in central Tokyo, Japan.). This location remains one of the finer examples of high end Trader Vic's design, with service to match. The Boathouse Bar still serves some drinks in rare Trader Vic's stemware.
