Volcano Bay is a Polynesian-themed water park in the Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida. It opened on May 25, 2017.

The 53-acre park includes many rides and attractions, and restaurants and bars. The centerpiece of the park is the towering 200-foot-tall "Krakatau" volcano, which holds the Krakatau Water Coaster. There is a large wave pool, and a lazy river that passes through the volcano.

Universal has invented a fictional Polynesian culture, the "Waturi," and there are tikis, thatched huts, and more faux-Polynesian-tinged elements throughout the property.

Though there are tikis everywhere, the 2 bars on site (Dancing Dragons and the Kunuku Boat Bar) currently do not offer a particularly tiki drink experience, the offerings are more of a Florida-style tropical beach bar variety.

The Islander Apartments were built in 1962, in the Riverglen neighborhood of Santa Ana, California. The entry is a swooped A-frame structure, with a tiki underneath. More tikis can be found supporting a second A-frame structure by the pool area. The apartment complex has a carved wooden sign. More free-standing tikis likely existed and have long since rotted away or been removed, but the tiki poles for the A-frames still remain.

The community consists of 63 one-story units in 1, 2, and 3 bedroom arrangements. The property sits on 5 landscaped acres.

Tiki Tap House was opened by Cindy and Jordan Peabody in Centralia, Washington in July 2013. It is an "island inspired" pizza restaurant -- not a tiki bar. There's only beer and wine available, so no tiki cocktails. The decor is spare, but there's a clear love for tiki here. There is a wall with tiki mugs, tikis adorn the thatch-topped bar (which has 18 rotating beers on tap), and some tiki art is on display -- including impressive tikis carved by Cindy's son, restaurant manager Anthony Dijos. The pizzas incorporate lots of unusual island flavors, going beyond the expected Hawaiian pizza, with Spam, mango, macadamia nuts and coconut.

Opened in December 2018. Tiki TNT is the side-bar attached to the Potomac Distilling company at the Washington D.C. Wharf complex.

3 levels of seating for over 250 people. The decor is more modern island vibe than dark and forbidding classic tiki lounge -- with extremely high ceilings painted a light blue, pink walls, plate-glass windows, and bright Edison bulbs hanging over the central bar.

There are several tiki drinks, both classic and new, along with some food options on the menu. Potomac Distilling Company is Todd Thrasher's rum distillery, and the rum is available for purchase.

Test Pilot is a "tiki-inspired" craft cocktail bar in Santa Barbara. It opened in September 2016.

The decor is tiki-lite, with just a few tiki masks on one wall. The walls are painted turquoise, and there is a light beachy feel to the space.

The drinks, some served in tiki mugs, are modified versions of tiki cocktails, and some originals.

They have an excellent selection of rums and a strong bar program.

*NOTE: You can reserve the Sea Wolf Room (see last 2 photos) for yourself and your friends as a space for group gatherings, meetings, and parties.

Bali Hai Supper Club was a Polynesian restaurant in Maplewood, Minnesota, an eastern suburb of St. Paul. The nondescript exterior had simple large letters reading "BALI HAI," but inside the tropical escape included two nightly Polynesian dance floor shows, a giant clamshell waterfall, a bridge over a pond, palm trees, tiki masks, pufferfish and beachcomber lamps, and flaming dishes prepared tableside. It operated from 1976 until it closed in 2000, and the building was subsequently demolished.

Cat Eye Club was a small bar and restaurant with a lightly-applied mid-century and tiki theme. It opened in 2013 as more of a "Mad Men" mid-century bar, but shifted to tiki in 2016.

There was a menu of tropical and classic tiki cocktails, many served in tiki mugs, and a small food menu (food came from the kitchen of the attached Blind Burro Restaurant).

The decor was more tropical-lite than tiki, with a few tiki masks on a wall, and palm frond wallpaper on another.

Closed September 28th, 2018 to make room for a Blind Burro expansion.

The Love Shack opened at the end of June 2017 in the Walker's Point neighborhood of Milwaukee, in a location previously held by Wine Maniacs. It was owned by Michael Sorge, Wes Shaver, and Gary LaCourt. The name was inspired by the song by the B-52s; the owners hoped to capture the energy of the song in the space. It was advertised as a "tiki bar" but there were few recognizable tiki elements in the design of the space. There was a large riverside patio, and the decor was mostly plain, "modern" design with a few bold tropical elements (including tiki head graphics). A small selection of traditional tiki drinks was offered alongside newer creations, and the food menu was high-end Polynesian-inspired fare.

Closed August 3rd, 2018.

As of 2021, now home to Elle Studio & Wellness, a holistic health center.

Tiki Bar Tokyo was a small, 38-seat bar and restaurant in the Marunouchi area of Chiyoda-ku in Tokyo, Japan. The space was simply decorated, with painted palm fronds on one wall and thatch above the bar. The menu of tropical drinks included Mojitos and Caipirinhas, but also a Mai-Tai and some original tropical drinks.

Closed in 2017.

Open since at least 2012, if not earlier.

Restaurant Waikiki is in the Yonamoto area of Yachiyo in Chiba prefecture. Two large tikis flank the entrance.

Der Blume von Hawaii (The Flower of Hawaii) was originally opened in downtown Nuremberg in 2014 at Rosental 15 by Zack Stingl, a longtime Exotica and Hawaiian music lover who became obsessed with tropical drinks, especially through the work of Beachbum Berry. His small bar payed tribute to both.

Then, in Fall 2019, the bar moved to this larger new location at 16 Weinmarkt.

Super Power was opened in June 2016 in Brooklyn, New York by the team behind Prospect Heights’ the Bearded Lady, as well as two other friends.

There were definitely similarities between the two locations -- right down to the bar stools which were identical, except the ones at The Bearded Lady were yellow.

In developing out their drinks menu, Super Power kept their audience in mind and wanted to skew to a younger crowd and make everything approachable and not too stuffy. No overly laborious mixology classics. Just fun riffs on a theme.

The small bar had some nods to tiki history in the form of framed art, but the overall look of the lightly-furnished space was a neon-lit '80s workout video.

There was a pleasant patio out back, with plenty of seating, ringed with tropical plants.

In addition to their small menu of tropical drinks, there was a small selection of food as well.

Closed November 9th, 2024.
