Pacific was a newer bar and restaurant, and featured several large tikis, a koi pond, pufferfish lamps, and a Polynesian pianist. Private huts were available on the second level. The restaurant went out of business in July 2008, but the drink menu has reportedly been preserved at its sister restaurant, Cheng's Oriental Restaurant, also in Sterling.

This location became home to a Sushi King restaurant from 2017-2020, but is vacant as of 2022.

Opened in 1971 and closed in 1973 (possibly as late as 1975).

Photo below shows entrance tikis being moved into place just before opening.

This restaurant was in the Sheraton Bel-Air Resort Hotel & Marina, which earlier was the Outrigger Inn, which also had a Polynesian lounge.

Today, as of 2021, this location is home to the Magnusson Hotel Marina Cove Resort.

Built in 1962.

The Whispering Lakes Apartments (formerly an unnamed apartment complex) once featured four large Milan Guanko tikis in front.

There are still some smaller tiki influences present, including some simple stylized Tiki Bob-ish carved tikis at the entrance.

Bob Brooks 7 Seas night club was a pre-tiki establishment (although they did have both physical tikis and tiki graphics in their menu and advertising...so a case could be made they they were full-blown tiki earlier than many think), originally opened at 6904 Hollywood Boulevard by Ray Haller in 1935. Capitalizing on the popularity of the South Pacific as a dream vacation destination, Haller borrowed ideas from the popular Don the Beachcomber club a few blocks away and decorated the 7 Seas with a collection of tropical plants, nautical items, lava rocks, and other items of decor that fit the Polynesian theme. The most notable feature was a corrugated tin roof upon which nightly tropical rain storms--complete with thunder and lightning effects--rattled with considerable realism. Don the Beachcomber "borrowed" this idea.

When Bob Brooks took the club over a few years later (before 1951, since that year he was indicted for tax evasion), he upped the ante by stealing some of Don the Beachcomber's bartenders (including Ray Buhen of Tiki-Ti fame) along with their recipes for exotic rum drinks for an extra $10 a week which was a lot back then. Brooks also added an authentic Polynesian floor show, which was unique among South Pacific-themed clubs at the time. Another factor adding to the 7 Seas' popularity was its proximity to Grauman's Chinese Theater. Movie-goers had only to cross Hollywood Boulevard for an exotic climax to their evening on the town.

Another highlight of the 7 Seas was that Bob Brooks had several Edgar Leeteg paintings hanging up from his visits to Tahiti. These were removed in the 1950s after Leeteg's death when their value suddenly skyrocketed. However, he hired a Leeteg protege to make duplicate replacements.

Under new ownership in the 1960s with the notorious Eddie Nash, the popular night spot became the Seven Seas Supper Club. By the 1970s, however, the 7 Seas was declining into nothing more than a seedy bar. To make matters even worse in the early 1980s, Nash was tried with porn star John Holmes for the "Wonderland" killings and for drug trafficking through his nightclubs, including the 7 Seas.

Toward the 1980s, the restaurant evolved into a dance club, which added Scream nightclub in 1986, (and replaced the Seven Seas name with 'Club Hollywood' a year later).

Eddie Nash plead guilty to racketeering in 2001, and sold the place in 2007.

The 1921 building was sold again in 2013 to a Maryland real estate investment firm.

Today there is nothing left of this one-time Polynesian paradise but picture postcards, matchbook covers, and memories.

*NOTE: Bob Brooks had a second Seven Seas location in Las Vegas at the Nevada Biltmore, but it was short-lived, lasting just from 1942-1944.

Polynesian restaurant in the '70s, reportedly had two very large tikis outside, and a volcano inside. There was a nightly "Polynesian Revue." This location was originally Mahi Mahi (1968-1970).

According to newspaper advertisements, it was open at least through 1978.

Later became the Golden Dragon restaurant. Currently home to Sushi Train since 2012.

There was also a Blue Hawaii in Wildwood, New Jersey and in Lafayette, Louisiana. No known connection between any of the three.

Blue Hawaii was a popular name. There was also a mini chain of three Blue Hawaii Restaurants (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Portsmouth).

Opened around 1975.

Hawaii Fountain was a Chinese/Polynesian restaurant with the typical New England-style painted tikis. It served tropical drinks in tiki mugs and served the classic "Polynesian" dishes, including a Pupu Platter.

In mid-2006 the restaurant's interior was gutted, and reopened as the non-Polynesian You You.

Despite this, they decided to leave the exterior standing tiki and a couple of side-support tikis in front. The tikis now share space with a couple of Foo Lion additions, but they are still there as of 2021.

And while the interior may have been redesigned entirely, You You has a number of tiki cocktails on their bar menu, still served by the same bartenders that worked for the previous owners, and they serve them in tiki mugs, so you can still sample a bit of that Hawaii Fountain magic after all.

Opened @ 2014.

This is a big family friendly venue that glories in the kitsch and is known for its very large fiberglass tikis inside and out as well as its inexpensive cocktails served in plastic cups.

They do serve food beyond the typical bar food one might expect.

They also have indoor as well as outdoor seating.

Opened circa 2010.

This was not a classic tiki bar but more like a college/sports bar lightly skinned with tikis and beach decor.

It had both an inside seating area and a back outdoor patio with its own bar.

The interior walls were painted solid colors over the years (light gray or orange) or covered in bare brick (patio exterior). The ceilings sported exposed beams with track lighting. Lots of TVs around the room playing sports.

They placed some inexpensive tiki masks and carvings around, along with a few old surfboards and a Sailor Jerry's Hula Girl Statue, but the overall vibe of the place still screamed college bar or sports bar.

It didn't help that they had a very limited selection of non-craft tropical cocktails and did heavy promotion of their "Shot-Ski" where shots are lined up for several drinkers to lift and drink at once as a group activity off a literal ski.

Their closing was also rather abrupt in 2023, but probably not terribly missed by people looking for an authentic tiki experience.

This bar & restaurant used to be named Da Big Kahuna (@2006-2015) and had the same tikis out front as today and the same decor (both inside and out) but skewed a bit more to the dive bar and nightclub side.

Not to be confused with Big Kahuna's Pizza (since 1994 and still running).

Da Big Kahuna was known for its fish bowl cocktail and for its large handled Tiki Farm mug.

The owners decided to expand and opened two locations in Florida (Fort Lauderdale in 2010-2016 and Jacksonville in 2012-2014) but eventually all three businesses closed.

Then the Waikiki location was renamed as Lava Tube, and opened @2018 under new ownership with less emphasis on being a nightclub and with a revamped food menu.

Around May of 2025, the name changed to Tikis Meeting Spot, although the decor and drink menu appear to be the same, so it appears to be yet another light re-branding or ownership change but not a complete overhaul.

Opened in February of 2024.

Located above Hi-Tones and accessible through a marked door at the back.

Several carved tikis greet you at the top of the stairs.

The space is well-lit with warm multi-colored tiki mood lighting, and this bar has a very retro feel with vintage paintings, tapa lamps on the ceiling, bench and table seating lining the sides of the room, and several round pub tables with stools in the middle.

The main bar is wrapped in lauhala matting and the back bar is well-provisioned with a selection of rums, spirits, and assorted liqueurs.

Their menu sports classic tiki and original cocktails -- served in tiki glasses.

The Tiki Room started out at the Toltec Building in December of 2020 and then moved to this new space in January 2023.

By all accounts this is a larger space. However, customers will recognize the tikis and other design elements from the old location.

There is also continuity with a similar drink menu to the old location. The food menu, however, is expanded.

Situated next to historic Duranguito in Union Plaza, The Tiki Room is located near Southwest University Stadium, the El Paso Convention Center, the Museum of Art, San Jacinto Plaza and more.

Opened @ November 2022.

This venue is located in the heart of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. It features craft tiki cocktails and island influenced food accompanied by a gorgeous view overlooking Kailua Bay.

They do have a few tikis and tropical elements like rattan furniture, lauhala matting, and tiki mugs to serve drinks in, however, the open floor plan and white ceilings, as well as the outside seating all lend themselves to much more of a beachy resort vibe than a dark and intimate tiki bar vibe.

Still, the views are spectacular and cocktails have received high praise.
