Opened in 1957. Alphie's was a greasy-spoon diner, serving breakfast and lunch. The space was light and airy, with white walls, but there were quite a few Polynesian touches throughout. There were some carved tikis on the wall, lauhala matting, tapa cloth, and an outrigger (from Oceanic Arts) hanging overhead. It was a family-run joint, and if you were lucky, you might have caught the owner and friends playing jazz.

Closed May 18th, 2021. The family decided not to re-open as a result of COVID closures.

Opened in 2012.

Adrift is a modern-era tiki bar and restaurant. The primary focus is quality, classic tiki cocktails. The bar is covered in plenty of bamboo, the walls are lined with bamboo, and murals of elegant vintage-feel scenes of Polynesia are framed in bamboo, as well. Light comes from pufferfish lamps, glass floats, and a bit of fire for good measure. Carved tikis are found inside, and outside the building is flanked with metal tiki wall sconces and two large carved tikis.

City Beverage was a kitsch fantasia of a bar & restaurant, with a smattering of retro & vintage decor, including a good dose of tiki. Silk flower garlands hung from the ceiling, and a few tikis could be found in corners. City Beverage opened in 2004, and later expanded; the original area of the restaurant was called the Lava Lounge. A few tropical drinks were served, including a Volcano Bowl.

City Beverage closed in February 2016.

South Pacific Polynesian Restaurant operated on a grand scale, and sought to compete with the nearby (and still operating) Mai-Kai. It had a few different A-frame, thatched-roof buildings, scattered around lushly landscaped gardens. It opened December 24th, 1959, and appears to have closed in May 1975. It then briefly operated as Sun Wah Imperial Polynesian Restaurant.

Aloha was a Hawaiian-Chinese restaurant that looked fairly old-school with some tiki masks and some lauhala matting.

Closed to dining permanently in mid May 2022.

Opened in 2011. Revolucion is a Mexican restaurant, but it does have a small, lightly-themed tiki bar in the back. There is also an outdoor beer garden.

Built in 1968.

Mai Tai Restaurant also went by the names Kahuna, and Knobby's Mai Tai -- the chronology is not clear. During the time it was Mai Tai, the name Kahuna Lounge seems to have been used for the bar area within the restaurant.

The restaurant is perhaps most notable as an excellent example of the sort of design theft that happened during the height of Polynesian restaurants: all of the graphics for the restaurant, including Mai Tai's logo tikis, menu design, even the lettering used for the Mai Tai logo, where lifted completely from the Tahitian.

The Mai Tai's building has a tall, peaked A-frame roof in front. The building still stands today (as of 2021) , and for a time housed a karate school, but is currently vacant.

The Hut has been open since 2001, but in 2009 they embraced tiki in a big way when they saved a landmark 3-story moai from destruction. Stairs inside the moai lead to a railed observation platform on top of the moai's head. The 40,000 pound structure came from Magic Carpet Golf, and moving it to the courtyard at The Hut was no small feat. The moai now looks out across Tucson once more.

The Hut is a music venue with both indoor and outdoor stages.

They are more of a beer bar, and their limited list of cocktails are more like what you would find in a college bar with punches served in fish bowls and drinks with names like "The Pineapple Express" or "The Grateful Dead".

Opened in 2011.

This Trader Vic's Mai Tai Lounge was a bit larger than the other Mai Tai Lounge restaurants, with a more complete food offering, including a sushi bar. It did, however, feel very much like a lounge concept, versus the more traditional, cozy Vic's restaurants. It was open especially late - until 6am - and the decor was sleek, modern, and lounge-y, with only a few bold tiki motif items.

The lounge parted ways with the Trader Vic's brand in 2012, and continued to operate as just "Mai Tai Lounge" until it closed around 2014.

The Festival City Trader Vic's was located within Festival Centre, and operated from 2012 to 2015.

This mini-Vic's was located on the first floor of the Al Fattan Tower at the Dubai Marina. It was a scaled-down execution of a Trader Vic's, with a limited menu and decor. It was open from October 2007 until 2016.

This newer, sleeker Trader Vic's opened in September 2004. It is located within the Souk Madinat Jumeirah shopping center.
