Tiki Bars
Ohana Tiki Lounge
Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong SAR China (Closed)
Ohana Tiki Lounge (formerly known as Mahalo Tiki Lounge) opened in 2015 in the Wan Chai section of Hong Kong. It was owned by Max Traverse, who also owned Honi Honi in Hong Kong (and later opened the Maka Hiki Tropical Bar & Grill in its stead). The extensive drink menu was mostly new tropical creations, including bowls for sharing, though some classic tiki drinks made appearances as well. Many drinks were served in tiki mugs. A small menu of poke was available, including a set lunch deal. The sleek decor was heavy on bamboo, with tiki masks.
Closed @ January 2023.
The Enchanted Tiki Office
Emeryville, California, United States (Closed)
The Enchanted Tiki Office was the work space of Pixar animator Mark Walsh. The space began as a standalone cube structure, and was turned into a tropical hut with the help of Bamboo Ben.
Tiki Iniki - Princeville
Princeville, Hawaii, United States
Tiki Iniki opened in Princeville, on the north side of the island of Kauai, in 2013. It was brought to life by Michele Rundgren, wife of famed all-over-the-musical-map Todd Rundgren. The two fell in love with Kauai through their visits to the Coco Palms resort. They moved to Kauai just after Hurricane Iniki destroyed the resort. All these years later, they have now opened a place of their own.
The interior of Tiki Iniki was created by Bamboo Ben.
A sister Tiki Iniki location came and went in Atlanta, operated by a licensee without the Rundgrens' involvement.
Rock-a-Tiki - Berlin
Berlin, Germany (Closed)
Rock-a-Tiki was a clothes store carrying both vintage and rockabilly-label items in the Prenzlauer berg of Berlin. It was once in another location on Eberswalderstrasse.
This and several other stores were reportedly folded into a store called Class of Berlin.
Tiki Lounge - Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
This tiki bar opened in 2002 after four years of effort by owners Scott Kramer and Steve Zumoff, who also owned a non-tiki bar in the same neighborhood called Lava Lounge (closed in 2016). Tiki Lounge features three waterfalls, thatch & bamboo hut booths, and a large tiki head entrance reminiscent of the large tiki fireplace at the now defunct Kahiki Supper Club. Tiki Lounge offers a variety of tropical cocktails in souvenir tiki mugs. The bar is full of regulars and probably has more appeal to tikiphiles on weeknights, as on the weekend it becomes a packed hip-hop dance club.
Kon Tiki Apartments - Riverside
Riverside, California, United States (Closed)
Built in 1961.
This development consisted of two 2-story buildings with a courtyard and pool in-between. 16 units total (1783-1797 Loma Vista St., Riverside, CA 92507).
A one-bedroom here on opening went for $85 a month.
Today, the structures remain with their stone wall front facades, but the pool has been filled in and the cool mid century fence with alternating colored rectangles has been replaced with a generic black fence.
The tiki in front is long gone and the name has undergone a few changes as well.
Its current name and commercial status remains unclear as of 2025 but all signs of tiki decor appear to have been removed.
Tiki - Old Tappan
Old Tappan, New Jersey, United States (Closed)
This location had a long history. It was originally called Badini's from 1926-1946. From 1946-1965 it was The Pine Grove Inn.
Tiki was originally opened in this location in 1965 by Bob Gaudio, part of the famous singing group “The Four Seasons”. That explains the name of the drinks on the first portion of the menu entitled "The Golden Hits that built the Tiki!"
This location was only open a few years and then closed to be re-opened as Oriental Luau in the late 1960s or early 70s. The Oriental Luau kept a full menu of tiki drinks as well. It lasted into the 1990s.
Tiki Thai
Reston, Virginia, United States
Opened December 21st, 2020 by Beverage Director and General Manager Jeremy Ross, along with co-owners Porntipa “Pat” Pattanamekar and Parasak “Sing” Chokesatean.
As you would expect from the name, this is not a traditional tiki bar/restaurant. The space is open and modern, with light oak woodwork, slate floors, and simple tropical flower print wallpaper. There are repeated tiki face panels both on the standing pillars and on metal panel dividers. However, bright track lighting and open windows in front leave no shadows to speak of.
That said, Ross's creations honor the tiki and craft cocktail culture -- with fresh ingredients and fine rums -- albeit with some sometimes surprising Thai-inspired flavor combinations.
Drinks are served in branded tiki mugs supplied by Munktiki Imports among others.
Tiki Apartments
Covina, California, United States (Closed)
Built in 1963, this apartment complex features two A-frames in front and an A-frame pool house in back. Original name unknown...but labeled "Tiki Apartments" on blueprints.
Features 14 units and 2 stories.
Oceanic Arts was consulted about decor for this location, so it's quite possible it once had tikis or other decor on grounds.
As of 2022, this location was closed, but not demolished, possibly awaiting refurbishment or re-development.
Tarantula Tiki Lounge
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
Opened in June 2020.
This is the first tiki bar in Fort Worth since Ren Clark's Polynesian Village closed in 1969.
Co-owned by Autumn Brackeen, who’s also co-owned The Boiled Owl on Magnolia Avenue since 2012. She and fellow co-owner Jason Alford worked together to bring forth this concept which combines classic tiki with nautical and a touch of the macabre.
Arnold's Beach Bar
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
Opened in 1992, Arnold's is a good old-fashioned Honolulu Tiki dive bar.
This hidden spot off Saratoga Road was once a horse stable, but today Arnold’s is lined wall-to-wall with lauhala, decked in vintage photographs of hapa-haole hula girls and protected by tiki totems everywhere you turn.
You’ll also find locally made rum and drafts. Their mai-tais are touted as being pretty good and inexpensive.
Open daily. Live music 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. All day $5 cocktails.
Suffering Bastard
Sanford, Florida, United States
Opened in Spring 2019.
They describe themselves on their Facebook page as "An intimate Tiki experience located inside Tuffy's Bottle Shop & Lounge."
Typhoon Tommy has crafted pieces throughout the space. Handmade or hand-painted weapons hang on the walls, which are covered in different textiles and woods.
It has a max capacity of about 30 people and requires a reservation unless you’re extremely lucky with party sizes of 6 or less. If you have larger parties they do accommodate but require you to rent out the entire bar.
*NOTE: On April 10th, 2025, the bar made an announcement that they will be packing their bags and moving to Orlando in 2026! So enjoy this location while you still can...
