This new Trader Vic's location opened in April 2009, in the new LA Live complex near Staples Center and downtown L.A.

Like most Trader Vic's restaurants, this was a franchise location.

This one was owned by John Valencia.

The large exterior tikis were carved by Tiki Diablo.

It closed in March 2014.

Tiki Bar Sargans was located in a small mountain town in the Swiss Alps, east of Zurich, and very near to Austria and Lichtenstein. It was opened on July 13, 2006 by Urs Schumacher. The most prominent feature was a boat that had been turned into a large table for casual bar seating. The furniture was mostly rattan seating, and there were a few small and large tikis on the premises.

Closed @April 16th, 2021.

Tiki Town Adventure Golf is a themed, 18-hole mini golf course. It opened in 2013 in Belmont Park, an amusement park in the Mission Beach neighborhood of San Diego. The course is charming and appropriately cartoonish, with tikis and Polynesian Pop elements found everywhere. A large volcano sits by the entrance, there are thatched structures with A-frames, and some of the holes have animatronic features. The course runs both indoors and outdoors.

There is a nearby Dole Whip stand in Belmont Park, under the Sky Ropes Adventure.

Tiki Lau was opened in the early 1970s by Peter Yee. Tiki Lau offered standard Chinese fare and tropical drinks. There was a moai with light-up eyes over the entrance, a fountain in the lobby entry, and a few tikis scattered throughout. The theming was a little more complete in the bar area, which was darker and had some bamboo. In early 2007 it was sold to new owners, who operated it under the name "The New Tiki" for a short time until it ultimately closed on September 27, 2008.

The Tropics opened November 18, 1954. At one point it suffered a fire which gutted the interior. It was re-opened soon afterward.

At some point it was known as Georgie Rudin's Tropics -- at least as early as 1960 when Barney West was contracted to carve 4 large tikis for the establishment.

Cantonese and American food was served, and tropical drinks were served in tiki mugs. It was well-known as a live music venue.

The restaurant closed in 1988. A wrecking crew took down the structure later in 1994.

Lun Wah was a Chinese restaurant located in a nondescript strip mall, with Polynesian decor and tropical drinks served in tiki mugs. It became Lun Wah in 1974, and before that time it was called the Red Dragon. The restaurant had lots of bamboo and tapa cloth on the walls, and like most other tiki joints in this corner of the country, the few tikis looked like they were painted by a kindergartener. Other features of the decor included booths in bamboo huts, illuminated palm tree wall scenes, artificial palm trees throughout the restaurant and a koi pond with a functioning rock waterfall. The ceiling of the dining room was painted white unfortunately, but the dim lighting helped to make it feel cozy. The menu included a flaming pu-pu platter.

In 2013, Lun Wah was taken over by a new family who were going strong and keeping the tiki character intact, and making some upgrades.

However, Covid shutdowns and restrictions took their toll and they were forced to close permanently in February 2021.

Mar Vista Lanes was built in 1961, and was designed by famed Googie-riffic architects Armet & Davis. It once housed a bar called the Makai Cocktail Lounge, which had a spare, modernistic take on tiki. The Makai Cocktail Lounge closed some time during the 70s.

One lone tiki stood outside for many years until July 5, 2014 when it was reported stolen outside the Pepy's Galley Diner (which was the attached eatery until later in 2014).

Soon after, Bowlero purchased the property when AMF went bankrupt.

The new Bowlero version opened in April 2015 and is still current as of 2020. They have a long mural along the side of the building which touts its history since 1961 and sports a couple of tikis. They have also added at least one new carved tiki outside as well.

Foundation began as a punk bar, and around 2004 began a conversion into a punk tiki bar at the prompting of manager Don Nelson. Today the bar has left its punk roots behind, and has completed the metamorphosis into a beloved and completely punk-free tiki bar. It is chock full of tikis, many carved by local tiki artist Lake Tiki. The menu is full of traditional and modern tropical drinks, served in tiki mugs.

In 2017, a fully tikified vacation rental was added above Foundation, the Captain's Quarters.

Xanadu Gallery was owned by one of the owners of the nearby Palo Alto Trader Vic's; he was responsible for many of the Papua New Guinea artifacts on display there. This gallery, on the southwestern end of Santa Cruz Avenue, had a wide array of different Oceanic artifacts, including tikis, masks, drums, war clubs and canoes. Most were from Papua New Guinea, but there were a few other pieces from other islands. After the passing of the owner, much of the Oceanic art was sold, and this location was closed. There was also a remaining second Xanadu location in San Francisco at 140 Maiden Lane, but it closed later in 2015.

The Reef opened on August 8th, 1958, and was co-owned by George Millay, creator of Sea World. The original restaurant had interior designs by Bobby Mavis, and had "Hula Grounds" with many tikis.

Quote from a 1961 review from the Long Beach Press-Telegram:

"The Reef Is a large place with numerous dining rooms which accommodate thousands of guests each week. Bearing such fancy names as the Coco Room, the Tonga Room (both dining rooms), the Pali Room (large banquet facilities), and the Tiki Room (cocktail lounge), each is smartly tropical in decor. Most of these rooms provide their guests with breathtaking close-up views of harbor shipping and Long Beach’s sweeping skyline. For those who like to dine or sip cocktails In open air the Reef has a long handsome patio which also overlooks the water. In addition the restaurant has a huge turn-park area which can handle groups from 150 to 1500. Tommy Noh, the Reef's lively young manager, directs a staff of 70."

The Reef burned down in 1974, and was later re-built in 1980 by David Tallichet, one of the original partners in the old restaurant.

Tallichet and his company have run over 100 restaurants around the country over the years. The other Polynesian project he is well-known for is the Ports O' Call Restaurant at the Ports O' Call Village.

However, Tallichet re-built the new Reef building in a mining theme, that was popular around the country at the time, with lots of raw wood beams. He was later heard to voice regret that he didn't stick to the original Polynesian theme so many area residents fondly remembered. It's since been remodeled several times and the mining theme has been erased as well. The current restaurant isn't really tiki or Polynesian at all but it is almost 3 times as large as its predecessor and is still run by Tallichet's family-owned company, Specialty Restaurants Corporation, which currently owns 18 other restaurants, including The Castaway in Burbank, Castaway in San Bernardino, the aviation-themed Proud Bird ear LAX and 94th Aero Squadron in Van Nuys as well as Orange Hill in Orange.

Chateau Avalon opened in 2004 and has 23 unique rooms decorated in a variety of themes, including Mayan, Egyptian, Renaissance, and of course, Tiki (Tahitian).

There are two rooms, both on the third floor, decorated in their "Tahitian" style (although the tikis used are actually large Moai). One of the two is a two-level "Treehouse" suite.

This Trader Vic's location opened on December 31, 2006, and it was the first in China -- where one has to wonder if the famed Chinese ovens were advertised as such in this new location, and whether they had the same exotic impact.

The location was on a corner in the Jing'an district, at the heart of Shanghai. The entry of the location was flanked by two large Maori-inspired tikis, and the interior was light and airy, but did have an assortment of flotsam & jetsam hanging from the vaulted ceiling.

The location closed @ February 15th, 2008.

*NOTE: Their drink menu was a standard Trader Vic's style cocktail menu which has remained much the same since the 60s, but prices were listed in Chinese Yuan. Nowhere on the actual menu did it actually say "Shanghai, China" but it did have a list of all the international locations on the inside cover -- so was probably just the standard template for several international locations at the time.
