The Tahitian Terrace was a restaurant in Disneyland's Adventureland. It began as part of Main Street's Plaza Pavilion, as the Pavilion Lanai, before becoming the Tahitian Terrace in the summer of 1962. The Tahitian Terrace had a daily dinner revue, complete with dancers. Clips from a performance at the Tahitian Terrace can be seen on the Walt Disney Treasures Disneyland DVD, in the special Disneyland After Dark. The Tahitian Terrace was adjacent to the Enchanted Tiki Room, which opened soon afterward.

A memorable part of the Tahitian Terrace was the 35' tall "Dineyodendron" Tree with its fiery-colored blossoms which shaded the stage and much of the audience and was the second largest in the park next to that at the Swiss Family Treehouse.

The terrace was originally sponsored by Stouffers, and later by Kikkoman's (1980-closing).

In 1993, the Tahitian Terrace closed, and in its place was erected an architecturally-incongruous Aladdin-themed building (initially for a dinner show, later used for storytelling or character meeting and called "Aladdin's Oasis"). In December 2018, Aladdin's Oasis was replaced by a new Polynesian themed food counter, named Tropical Hideaway.

Hong Kong Disneyland has a Tahitian Terrace. While it does have tikis, it is not as elaborate as the original.

Opened May 28th, 1962 by Long Beach City Councilman Robert Crow (Mr. C).

The Outrigger Inn Motor Hotel had A-frame structures with many tikis, surrounding a courtyard with a pool. There was some lush landscaping, including a waterfall.

The hotel housed Mr. C's restaurant, which served "Polynesian, Cantonese and American cuisine."

The entryway of Mr C's featured an 11' tall statue of the Goddess Pele in tiki form, carved from monkeypod, weighing 1,800 pounds and holding a giant clam shell. Carved by Guy Wilson of Oceanic Arts.

Mr. C's appears to have been open for business as late as 1975.

The property has been extensively remodeled, and as of 2024 is home to the Hotel Current Long Beach.

Closed Fall of 2009.

Tikis Woodcarvings, also called "Tiki's Woodcarvings," "Tiki Joe's Wood Carvings" or "Tiki & Co." was the shop of Joe Fanelli, who had been carving tikis for more than 30 years. Tiki Joe made and sold a number of tiki masks and large tiki poles from this small setup next to Dick's Pawn Shop. Tiki Joe's tikis were carved with a chainsaw from cypress or red cedar.

This short-lived location of the Don the Beachcomber restaurant chain opened in a Sheraton Hotel in 1970 and lasted for a few years before closing in 1973. Legendary bartender Tony Ramos, who had worked at the flagship Hollywood Don the Beachcomber, worked here when it opened.

After Don the Beachcomber closed, the spot housed an El Torito restaurant, and in 2006 the space was a Mediterranean restaurant called Alfiere.

The Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden was created by the Cantor Arts Center in 1994, when they brought several artists from Papua New Guinea to carve tikis on-site. Several dozen tikis, carved poles and figures are carved from wood and stone, and sit in a wooded area on the Stanford University campus.

The Beverly Hills Hotel still stands, and indeed still has a lounge, but there was at least a short period when they jumped on the tiki bandwagon and had a small lounge menu of Polynesian drinks, complete with requisite color drawings.

Today, their most notable contribution to the tropical lifestyle remains their banana leaf wallpaper. The Martinique® banana leaf wallpaper was created in 1942 by heritage Southern California textile brand CW Stockwell, and selected by famed designer Don Loper in 1949 to adorn the walls of the newly renovated and redesigned hotel. It is on display at the Fountain Coffee Room, which has also restored the 19 bar stools that originally surrounded the classic curved soda fountain counter, built in 1949. Unfortunately, the Coffee Room does not serve cocktails -- although they do offer wine and champagne in addition to their ice cream shakes.

Beachbum Burt's was the short-lived 1970s tiki restaurant opened by Burt Hixson, who also owned The Warehouse restaurant chain in Southern California. The oceanside restaurant had an open-air courtyard in the center.

The building is gone, and in its spot today there is a Cheesecake Factory.

Forbidden Island is a tiki bar on the island of Alameda just east of San Francisco. It opened April 22nd, 2006, but it has the look and feel of a classic old tiki bar. The bar was the creation of Martin "Martiki" Cate, a longtime tiki devotee, rum expert, and former Trader Vic's bartender, and brothers "Conga Mike" and Manny Thanos, who are part-owners of the nearby Conga Lounge. In early 2009, Cate left the Forbidden Island partnership, and opened his own Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco.

Forbidden Island has a commitment to quality, with only fresh-squeezed juices and premium spirits used. The drink menu features dozens of tropical cocktailsa mix of classics such as the Sidewinder's Fang and the Zombie, and new creations like the China Clipper and the Fugu for Two. There is also an extensive list of premium rums.

The decor is filled with many layered details, and was crafted primarily by Bamboo Ben and Martin Cate. There is an abundance of bamboo and thatch, and the walls are lined with wood, giving the appearance of the inside of a ship. There are several artifacts from tiki lounges of the past, including a war club from the Kahiki in Columbus, floats from Eli Hedley's Island Trade ship, which were used at the Pago-Pago in Tucson, Koa wood tabletops and large pieces of bamboo from the Lanai in San Mateo, and several carved pieces including two large carved poles by Ken Pleasant that were used at the Kahiki Moon in Burlington, Vermont. The logo tiki was carved by Tiki Diablo, and presides over a water feature in a cozy corner. There are three hut-like booths, and a long bar with comfortable seating. A rear patio is open until 9p.m. (after 9 it closes to minimize noise for the surrounding residential neighborhood).

Music on the jukebox is predominantly pre-1964, and was specially selected to fit in the vintage lounge environment, with no shortage of Exotica available. A small selection of snack food is available.

Some parking is available in back, and there is plenty of free parking on the street. Alameda has a speed limit of 25 MPH throughout the whole island, and it's strictly enforced.

Opened in February 2006, at the location of the former K B Club in Long Beach.

Crazy Al Evans worked on some of the interiors, including carved tapa designs on the bar edge.

This location was well-known as a live music venue.

Puka Bar closed in April 2011.

This Trader Vic's location is the original. It started out as Hinky Dink's, opened by Victor Bergeron a few years earlier in 1934 and had its name changed in 1937. Hinky Dink's had some great atmosphere and cocktails, but wasn't Polynesian until Bergeron was inspired by a visit to Hollywood, where he experienced Seven Seas and Don the Beachcomber.

In 1949, Bergeron opened a second location, initially called The Outrigger but later becoming Trader Vic's, in Seattle. In 1951 a location opened in San Francisco that was considered a powerhouse in the restaurant scene for decades. From there, it exploded into a number of restaurants that still pepper the globe today.

Bergeron is credited with being among the first to incorporate actual tikis into a tropical bar/restaurant concept. Bamboo bars and tropical restaurants had been around for a long time, and folks like Eli Hedley and Don the Beachcomber had created a more gritty, flotsam & jetsam inspired "beachcomber" look, but Bergeron took that a step further into look that was both refined and primal at the same time. But most of all, he brought in the tikis. He also brought a focus to the food, innovative for its time, blending the exotic tastes of many ethnic cuisines and presenting them for the still-developing American palates.

In the mid-1990s, many Trader Vic's locations in the United States closed, including the San Francisco and Seattle locations. International locations, including many in the Middle East, continued opening. In more recent years, the number of Trader Vic's locations in the United States have been growing again, with mixed results.

The original Trader Vic's location closed in 1972, when the company shifted its flagship location to Emeryville.

Hinky Dink's was Victor Bergeron's first restaurant; in 1937 it was renamed Trader Vic's, and became the launching point for a group of restaurants that heavily influenced the world of Polynesian Pop.

Bergeron opened Hinky Dink's in 1934 when he was 32. Advertisements for Hinky Dink's declared it the "Home of the Frankenstein." Hinky Dink's had great cocktails and unusual decor, but it wasn't the tropical paradise we think of with Trader Vic's today. Menus were printed on wooden cigar boxes.

Inspired by a trip to Hollywood, where he saw the tropical Seven Seas and Don the Beachcomber, he came home and upped the ante, coming up with the "Trader Vic" persona and developing the food & interior design.

Opened in 2005.

A tiki bar from Doug Miller, owner of nearby Club Mallard. Interiors are full of tapa cloth and carvings from Oceanic Arts, and lots of bamboo installed by Bamboo Ben with the help of Crazy Al Evans. Highlights of the decor include a volcano behind the bar that "erupts" with smoke periodically, and a life-size bronze hula girl complete with swivelling hips.

Kona Club is situated just a block or so from Trader Vic's final resting place at Mountain View Cemetery.
