Tikehau Lounge opened its doors on November 16, 2023.

Tikehau Lounge specializes in locally sourced, fresh ingredient cocktails, and a unique twist on Pacific island pupus (appetizers).

The lounge is conveniently situated within a brief 5 to 10-minute drive from luxurious resorts such as the Grand Wailea, Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, and the Wailea Beach Resort – Marriott, Maui.

The Reef Towers was built in 1959.

The Reef, Reef Towers and Edgewater hotels were sold to the Cinerama movie company in 1969 but Roy Kelley re-purchased the hotels from Cinerama in 1982 to re-integrate them back into the Outrigger chain.

The Polynesian Palace was the nightclub at the Reef Towers associated with Don Ho's long-running regular performances from 1970-1981, but it was also home to many other performers, including Al Harrington (The South Pacific Man).

Since 2007, with the creation of the Waikiki Beach Walk, this entire area has been redeveloped and the Reef Towers is now Club Wyndham at Waikiki Beach Walk.

The Reef hotel was built in 1967.

The Chief's Hut was an outdoor poolside dining area at the Cinerama Reef Hotel. Circa 1969 if not earlier.

Run by Bob Maynard, they advertised "Dining Under The Stars".

The Reef, Reef Towers and Edgewater hotels were sold to the Cinerama movie company in 1969 but Roy Kelley re-purchased the hotels from Cinerama in 1982 to re-integrate them back into the Outrigger chain.

Since 2007, with the creation of the Waikiki Beach Walk, this entire area has been redeveloped and the Reef is now known as The Outrigger Reef Waikiki beach resort, with The Chief's Hut area completely gone and remodeled.

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.

The Reef Hotel was built in 1967.

Davy Jones Locker was a unique nautical lounge beneath the Reef Hotel on the beach at Waikiki. It had a pool view window of those swimming in the Reef Hotel pool.

Since 2007, with the creation of the Waikiki Beach Walk, this entire area has been redeveloped and the Reef is now known as The Outrigger Reef Waikiki beach resort.

The Davy Jones Locker bar is completely gone and remodeled, including pool viewing area.

The first incarnation of Don The Beachcomber's was across from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, at the Queen's Royal Gardens.

This first Don's lasted 10 years which is how long his original lease was for.

Don the Beachcomber moved to the International Market Place, a short distance away, after it was built sometime in 1957, and this was on a new lease of 17 acres.

This version of Don's had the famous Dagger Bar with walls covered in Don's collection of daggers he had picked up during his travels.

Adjacent was also Don's tree house, which was inspired by earlier tree houses that he had on his property in Encino, California.

It was at Don the Beachcomber’s that Martin Denny got together with vibraphonist Arthur Lyman and bassist John Kramer to play jazz. The trio got a record contract in 1955, and bongo player Augie Colon joined the group the following year. Denny played at the International Market Place Don's on a regular basis.

Duke Kahanamoku's moved into the Don The Beachcomber building at the International Marketplace at some point and Don moved to another nearby location (circa 1971), although this final location was named The Colonel's Plantation Beefsteak and Coffee House. This location burned in a fire in 1966, due to outdated and faulty wiring.

The Mokhana Bar was located in Kokee Lodge at the top of Waimea Canyon, on Kauai.

It has long since been remodeled and no traces of the bar remain, although Kokee Lodge is still running.

The bar had Leeteg paintings on the walls, carved tikis, and served drinks out of coconuts.

The Naniloa was first opened as a hotel in 1939. The name "Naniloa" means "very beautiful".

The Polynesian Room was built in 1964.

The Polynesian Room was an interesting construction of 4 hut-shaped buildings. Several tiki poles throughout and on the exterior walkway leading to the buildings as well.

The interior was trimmed out in a fantastic array of bamboo and tapa cloth with many unusual features, including bamboo chandeliers and a thatched roof over the stage area where each beam was capped with a Maori warclub (from Oceanic Arts).

The building fell into disuse and during "renovations" everything was painted, including many carvings that had previously been naturally finished with stain & oil.

Today, as of 2022, the site is run as a Hilton Doubletree Hotel. The Polynesian Room hut buildings are not highlighted in any promotions and it appears they have been treated as storage.

Hopefully, at some point, they will be given some attention and brought back to life...

The Tipsy Tiki opened some time prior to December 2021, with little to no change in decor from its previous incarnation as The Myna Bird (which ran from 2017 to 2020).

Located in the International Market Place in Honolulu, in the Kuhio Avenue Food Hall, this bar was rebranded as being part of the La Pina Cantina next door.

Built in 1962.

Today, the bar and restaurant is gone and this property has been converted to condos.

Located adjacent to Prince Kuhio Park and mere yards from the ocean on the sunny South Shore at Poipu Beach in Kauai.

Opened in 1951 by Roy Kelley.

This bar seems to have been adjacent to the Coral Terrace Restaurant at the Edgewater Hotel.

Since 2007, with the creation of the Waikiki Beach Walk, this entire area has been redeveloped and no signs of the original structure remain.

Because of her nearby homes, they called the coastal area in this part of Waikīkī Queen’s Surf Beach.

Queen’s Surf was built in 1914 as a private home across from Kapiolani Park on the Diamond Head end of Waikiki Beach.

During WWII, the house was used for military retreats and other military uses. Admiral Nimitz, General Douglas McArthur and staffs spent time there.

It was acquired by the city of Honolulu around 1946 and leased to Spencecliff Corporation which operated it as the hugely popular Queen’s Surf Restaurant and Nightclub.

Sterling Edwin Kilohana Mossman (February 3, 1920 to February 21, 1986) headlined at its upstairs Barefoot Bar. A man as versatile as he was talented, literally led a double life. A detective with the Honolulu Police Department during the day, after dark he was one of Hawaiʻi’s most popular entertainers. His diversified careers earned him the nickname “Hula Cop”.

The Barefoot Bar was ground zero for this new brand of local comedy. Mossman was the ringleader, along with the likes of Lucky Luck, a zany radio personality, and Kent Bowman, known as KK Kaumanua. They told stories, sang songs and, when a celebrity from the Mainland happened to come by (and they did a lot), they became part of the show.

Another attraction at the Barefoot Bar was Varoa Tiki or "Tiki" (also known as Shirley Kaluahine Piliwale). She was a well-known entertainer during the 50's, 60's and 70's. She performed with many music legends like Tony Bennett, Don Ho, the Kent Ghirard's Hula Troupe where where she danced with the Ray Kinney show at the Royal Hawaiian. She appeared with Frank Sinatra, Jack Benny, Andy Williams, Jack Parr and the Vagabonds. She performed as a "one women show" on the Princess Line Tour ships and took the first all-girl show on tour to the orient as Varoa Tiki and the Tikis. She played more than twenty instruments, sang in sixteen languages. She yodeled in three styles and brought the art of whistling back to the stage.

Despite the wealth of talent on display, the business ran into trouble...

The site was closed down in 1969 by Honolulu Mayor Frank Fasi in a lease dispute and demolished in 1971.

Today it is home to a public park.
