Rumpus Tiki Bar opened in downtown Budapest in December 2013. It boasts a drink menu a mile long, but it's full of familiar old tiki favorites, and appear to be faithfully executed, right down to the tiki mugs and garnish. There are two levels, one wrapping around as an upper mezzanine, so that there is a mix of dramatic high ceiling area and more intimate low ceiling spaces. There is no break between wall and ceiling, rather sloping arches, adding a cave-like feel. Black fish nets are pinned to the ceiling, studded with globe lights dressed up as float lamps. Reed, bamboo and thatch are used throughout, perhaps more sparingly than we see in American bars, but used to great effect. There are carved tikis, and framed posters of brightly colored tikis.

Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29 is the much anticipated venture of Jeff "Beachbum" Berry and his wife Annene Kaye. Berry has worked tirelessly for the past two decades (who am I kidding? he's a bum, he got tired now and then), researching the long-lost recipes for classic exotic cocktails from the heyday of Tiki. We all have the Bum (and his publishers!) to thank for the revival of the well-crafted exotic cocktail, via his books The Grog Log, Intoxica!, Taboo Table, Beachbum Berry Remixed, and Potions of the Caribbean.

Latitude 29 opened in November 2014, inside the Bienville House Hotel. The drink menu is a mix of Tiki classics (some of them the Bum has been keeping in his back pocket for just this occasion), and modern inventions by the Bum himself. Latitude 29 follows through on drink presentation, with custom swizzles and just-so garnish and ice touches. The bar team is led by Brad Smith; the Bum himself won't be found behind the bar, but rather playing host, like a Beachbum should.

The food menu, originated by chef Chris Shortall and now under the care of executive chef James Rivard, leaves the sticky-sweet Chinese-meets-pineapple history of Polynesian restaurants behind, and instead has more modern, fresh takes on the ethnic blend of flavors available in Polynesia today.

The decor is not quite the dark, encrusted enclave one might expect from a dyed-in-the-barkcloth tikiphile like Berry, but the windows and hotel location have dictated a brighter approach. There's no mistaking this space for anything but Tiki, though, thanks largely to the work of artisans Bosko and Tiki Diablo. There are large tiki carvings throughout, and behind the bar is a beautiful map depicting the carving styles found throughout the islands of the Pacific. There are many vintage beachcomber lamps and other items from Berry's long-lived Tiki collection.

Tiki Tolteca is located right next door (although they closed on September 27th, 2021 except for private parties).

Kanaloa opened in 2011 as one of several themed bars within the Mansion House nightclub in Glasgow. It was a sister location to the original Kanaloa in London. There was a small mezzanine with seating overlooking the main bar below. Decor was by CheekyTiki, with no shortage of tapa and bamboo. Drinks were similar to those served at the London location, and came in tiki mugs. Kanaloa closed, along with the rest of Mansion House, in January 2016.

In November 2010, Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge moved from their original location to this much larger space, just down the street and now right on the Mississippi River.

The main level includes a restaurant and bar, and a large patio overlooking the river. There are large carved posts and tikis, and walls lined with lauhala matting and and carved wooden tchotchkes. On weekends, house band Exotik-a-Go-Go plays Exotica music, and the upstairs area is open. The upstairs, Shangri-La, has three distinct themed bars: the Shrunken Head, Forbidden Cove, and Ports of Pleasure. Each of the upstairs bars can be rented out for private events.

From 2016 onward, Psycho Suzi's started an annual "Mary's Christmas Palace" event running from October 1st-January 31st where everything is converted to an over-the-top Christmas theme, including the drinks.

*NOTE: In September 2022, the owner listed this location for sale for $6 Million.

Their permanent closing was announced by the owner, Leslie Bock, for August 19th, 2023 on social media.

Koko-Mo Bar opened in late 2013, and is a themed tiki bar within the non-tiki restaurant Grill. The bar hosts live music acts, including surf, jazz and Latin. Appropriate for its Swedish locale, the bar is decorated in a clean, modern take on tiki, with matching basket lamps and a long bar decked out in bamboo. The menu includes a variety of tropical cocktails both traditional and original, served in tiki mugs, and a good variety of rums.

Latest reports are that tiki cocktails and the Koko-Mo Bar are not being as emphasized as they once were -- however, the bamboo bar appears to still be in place.

The following appears on their website as of 2022:

"The restaurant is decorated in eight different environments. For example, you can sit in the Orient Express, Jaktstugan or Moulin Rouge. Since we change the decor from time to time, you can visit us again and again, and still experience something completely new with each visit."

So, you may or may not experience a tropical/tiki environment, depending on when you go, so best to call ahead.

Tiki Iniki opened in Princeville, on the north side of the island of Kauai, in 2013. It was brought to life by Michele Rundgren, wife of famed all-over-the-musical-map Todd Rundgren. The two fell in love with Kauai through their visits to the Coco Palms resort. They moved to Kauai just after Hurricane Iniki destroyed the resort. All these years later, they have now opened a place of their own.

The interior of Tiki Iniki was created by Bamboo Ben.

A sister Tiki Iniki location came and went in Atlanta, operated by a licensee without the Rundgrens' involvement.

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.

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".

Le Tiki Lounge opened in 2012 in the Folie-Mricourt neighborhood in the 11th arrondisement, south of Belleville.

The decor, while a bit spare, included bamboo, pufferfish, glass floats, tiki carvings, and touched on all the important bits of a classic, quality tiki bar.

Bai also sculpted some wonderful versions of the Suffering Bastard for their house mug.

Closed November 2022.

Kanaloa was a tiki-themed restaurant, bar & nightclub, owned by the same folks behind Mahiki, along with Girls Aloud member Sarah Harding. It opened in London's Blackfriars neighborhood in 2009. Much effort went into creating a welcome space for women at Kanaloa: going beyond free entry and discounts for women, house rules discouraged men from treating women like prey. The main bar had lots of sleek bamboo and shell lamps. The ceiling in one room was densely encrusted with many different colors of glass floats. An elevated "treetop" room had some artificial palms. The club had a large and varied rum menu.

This was the original location in what became a chain across the UK, with locations in Glasgow (closed), Croydon (closed), Cardiff (closed), Newcastle (closed), Portsmouth (closed), and Leeds (closed).

This original location closed its doors in January 2020. The space is currently home to a new bar/nightclub named Be At One.

This Trader Vic's location opened in Portland in June 2011. There was a Trader Vic's in Portland from the '50s through the '90s in the Benson Hotel, just a short distance south of this new location.

In early March 2016, a small fire in the medical offices above caused some minor damage to a small patch of the ceiling. Though the repairs were to be covered by insurance, the owners of the location opted to close the restaurant entirely.

One of the two large exterior tikis that used to flank the entrance to the Portland Trader Vic's before it closed (around 8' tall with large lips, a small nose, and concentric Tangaroan-style eyes) now resides in a Dubai Trader Vic's.

Okolemaluna Tiki Lounge opened in November 2010, and closed in September 2012. (Okole maluna is Hawaiian for "bottoms up"; the Hawaiian "cheers".) Owners Brice and Lisa Ginardi put the focus solidly on the quality of the cocktails, serving classic tiki recipes made with locally-sourced fresh ingredients. As any cocktail lover who has visited Hawaii can tell you, this was a huge boon, a respite from the over-sweet, over-chemical drinks found everywhere in the islands. Okolemaluna's menu had about twenty cocktails, a mix of historic tiki cocktails from the great Polynesian palaces, and some new creations. The menu also had a small selection of pupus.

If you finished the entire drink menu, you could join the Okolemaluna Mug Club: you got your own custom mug kept on a special shelf behind the bar.

Beyond the drinks, Okolemaluna also sought to set a historic tone with the environment. The music was a mix of vintage and modern Exotica, and the space was filled with bamboo and lauhala matting. There was a lava rock waterfall, and some decor from defunct tiki bars.
