Opened 2001.

This restaurant and bar was located in a shopping complex in a suburb well north of Phoenix. It had a more Caribbean than Polynesian feel, although there were some tikis outside. It's not as if this was false advertising, though... the place was called "Cocomo Joe's," after all.

In January 2003, there was a one-man cheesy synth & guitar band playing Jimmy Buffett tunes. There were also TVs showing sports installed throughout the joint. However, the drinks were tasty, and while they didn't serve drinks in tiki mugs, there was a stack of volcano bowls at the bar.

Cocomo Joe's closed in April 2014, and as of 2021 is now the Creek Patio Grill.

Opened in 1954.

This seedy motor hotel has two great things going for it: an utterly fantastic neon sign, and proximity to The Alibi (it's right across the street).

An overnight stay may not be for the faint-of-heart. It has received consistently bad reviews.

Tiki Farm is the largest modern mug manufacturer, creating mugs for sale at stores and restaurants, or through the Tiki Farm website. Tiki Farm has created many limited edition mugs in partnership with modern tiki artists such as Shag, Joe Vitale and Crazy Al. Tiki Farm has produced affordable reproductions of some of the popular vintage mug designs, such as the Suffering Bastard, and Mr. Bali Hai. Tiki Farm also creates glassware, serveware, and other general tikiware.

Holden Westland is the owner and founded the company in 2000.

Their old location at 1305 Calle Avanzado also held a Mugoomba bar (built 2006) and played host to several Big Tiki Bashes.

They moved their facilities in 2011 or so and began a slow remodel hampered somewhat by their success which gave little time to think of much beyond production. Their complete remodel and re-outfitting of the new office at 1120 Calle Cordillera was completed in 2021.

Tiki Farm then moved to 981 Calle Negocio, Suite 100, San Clemente, California 92673 around May of 2024.

This was located in the Trade Winds West Motor Hotel. It originally was the Club Trade Winds restaurant.

This Trader Vic's location opened in the New Otani Hotel Singapore in 1984. It closed sometime around 2002.

The New Otani was in one of the two twin 25-storey towers used as hotel and service apartments, the other being the Liang Court Regency.

Entering the millennium, the New Otani was then sold and became Accor Hotels, and later renamed Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay.

Novotel was closed permanently in 2021 as a result of the Covid Pandemic.

Opened in 1988.

Tiki Village is a tourist attraction on the west side of Moorea, the small island directly to the west of Tahiti in French Polynesia.

Here visitors can see Tahitian traditions and dances in a utopian tropical setting and dine on roast pig and other delicacies at their restaurant.

This location on Fairfax was the second of two, built in 1950, the first being built at Pico in 1947. Two men, Thomas Kelley and Jack Bouck, combined the first syllables of their last names and invented Kelbo’s, a small chain of Hawaiian barbecues whose food was not all that Hawaiian: burgers, barbecue meat sandwiches and some miscellaneous seafood. The concession to the islands was that every plate was garnished with a piece of pineapple and the fried shrimp was coated with coconut. They also served very sweet (but very good) barbecued ribs and had a menu of tropical drinks, some of which came flaming or served in a skull mug. Eli Hedley was the main designer and he was also responsible for the interior of other tropical-themed restaurants like Don the Beachcomber. Kelbo’s felt like a place that had been decorated in the thirties or forties and then no one changed anything. As mentioned, there were two Kelbo’s. This one was on Fairfax across from CBS Television City in La Brea, and was later torn down. It was a popular hangout for crew members who worked across the street at CBS Television City in the fifties and sixties. The building that housed the other was over on Pico at Exposition.  After that location was shuttered, the building was converted into a bikini bar called Fantasy Island for a time.  Much of the Kelbo’s advertising art was done by Bob Hale who otherwise turned up on Los Angeles TV from time to time as a cartooning weatherman. (He was also active in Seattle where he owned a popular hobby shop that bore his name.) Hale’s drawings of a fat Hawaiian guy in native garb could be seen on Kelbo’s napkins and menus, and both of the Kelbo's outlets had huge Bob Hale murals on the outside.

Tiki Tiki Yokohama was a combination of Polynesian themed restaurant and Public Beer House, with multiple dining rooms and floor shows.

The emphasis on Beer House was more recent, starting @ 2017 or so.

Closed November 6th, 2022 according to their Instagram.

There was a sister location, Tiki Tiki Shinjuku which did not have the Beer House emphasis and had much more Polynesian decor.

Oceanic Arts was a major contributor to tiki culture since its opening on June 25th, 1956, when it was opened by LeRoy Schmaltz and Bob Van Oosting.

Bob and LeRoy have provided carvings, decorations, signage, light fixtures, and all the outfitting needed for a tiki location to nearly all of the major spots, including Disney. Oceanic Arts served as a Home Depot of sorts for the tikiphile.

The store was closed for good on November 24th, 2021.

Bob and LeRoy went out on a triumphant note by announcing the publication of a book chronicling their much beloved business on the same day. This book, authored by Jordan Reichek and published by Peekaboo Gallery, was issued in a regular or slipcover edition. This was accompanied by 2 rounds of auctions and accompanying auction books. Together, these books give a very thorough overview of the work produced by Oceanic Arts.

The Honolulu, located on Route 9 in Westborough, was the Eli Witney Steakhouse until 1970 when it was sold to Hing Wah Inc. of Brookline and was remodeled and renamed Honolulu. The restaurant featured American, Chinese and Polynesian dishes.

The Honolulu had an unusual logo tiki with a pineapple for a head, with sort of bull horns. The tiki shows up on swizzles and tiki mugs from the restaurant.

Honolulu survived until the early 2000s, but now it is closed. The location has become Bertucci's Brick Oven Restaurant.

NOTE: There was a sister location on Route 1 in Norwood, also called the Honolulu Restaurant. Both locations are often printed on the bottom of vintage mugs. This second location appears to have been started around 1974 and closed some time before 2007.

Politiki took a unique spin on tiki, featuring a line of tiki mugs in the likenesses of United States presidents: Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Nixon, Carter and Reagan (with a cameo by Nancy on the back, surrounded by astrological symbols). When it opened in 1993, there were three floors of tiki, but Politiki existed in its original form for only about 4 years. Afterwards, some decor remained but gradually disappeared with each new bar make-over.

Around 1999, the space became home to the Pennsylvania Avenue Pub and much of the tiki decor was removed.

For a time it existed only as the basement in the space's next incarnation as the Pour House, and in late 2004, almost all the tiki was gone.

The Pour House still displayed two of the presidential tiki masks on their exterior sign (Lincoln & FDR -- styled just like the earlier tiki mugs) but the bar closed in April 2014.

The next bar in succession was Stanton & Greene, which opened in 2015 and closed in 2018. They removed the two outside tiki masks in their remodel, which were the last vestiges of Politiki.

*However, for Politiki's 20th Anniversary (May 2018), the original owners brought it back as a pop-up in a different space (at Barrel on Capitol Hill) with new president-inspired tiki mugs (Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and Steve Bannon).

This Trader Vic's was inside the Statler Hilton (now the Capital Hilton). It operated from 1961 until 1995.

Among its many decorations were two large moai carvings with top-knots outside the front entrance that were created by Barney West.

This Trader Vic's was a major center for politicians for many years; president Richard Nixon reportedly loved to drink Navy Grogs here.
