Opened in 2000 in an older 2-story commercial brick building originally built in 1919, with 16,552 square feet.

This was one in a chain of Tiki Bob's Cantinas (no relation to the historic Tiki Bob's in San Francisco).

These have died out since the early 2000s, and were known for being dance clubs with very little tiki theming and aimed at young college-aged people.

This location closed some time after 2011.

As of 2021, this space is home to Vogue Nightclub.

This location was part of the Power Plant Live! complex.

Tiki Port is a Chinese/Polynesian restaurant. It opened in 1977. The decor includes painted murals and beautiful Orchids of Hawaii style swag lamps, but the theming is more Chinese than Polynesian. It serves traditional Chinese/Polynesian favorites, including a flaming pu-pu platter.

Tiki Port had a slightly-more-Polynesian sister restaurant in Medford, Tiki Island, which closed in 2023.

Opened in 2002 (even though later signage says they were "established in 2004").

Tiki sports bar in Kirkland, just down the street from Mambo. It was a hodge-podge of Polynesian tiki & Margaritaville tiki, with some mod-Shag thrown in. Had karaoke nights, loud music, and TVs. Drinks were available in tiki mugs for regular customers.

Closed in 2015.

Opened in 1964.

The red-and-tan interior boasted some Witco décor, Tiki masks, faux-tapa designs on paper, lots of bamboo, and hanging floats and lanterns. A 1964 Denver Post review praised the food and the “suffering things” (you can guess which cocktail the reviewer was hesitant to name). Ernie Menehune provided entertainment—when he wasn’t busy is Las Vegas. Ernie still played gigs in Arizona well into his 80’s.

Two waitresses (Elizabeth Madrid and Judith Finchum, both 23) were arrested on January 19, 1966, for waiting tables in lingerie, a gimmick that had been used in the Tiki Kai in Albuquerque for some time. Madrid was fined $100; owner Harry Jew said that business had doubled in the single week that the two girls had been working there. A former waitress named Pat tells us: “(in 1966) Harry was the owner, Gordon the manager, Lou the maître D, Linda the hostess, Mike the bartender, Speedy the backup bartender, Tommy Jung the chef. I left Tiki Kai when I married Tommy.”

In December 1969, the Tiki Kai became the China Town Restaurant. In 1971, the Denver-based Vegas show-band the Glass Menagerie purchased the building and renamed it the Islander. The Islander lasted until 1975, and then it became Herb Wong's New China restaurant (which still served Polynesian drinks in their Kahuna Cocktail Lounge) until being demolished in 1992.

Today this location is the SafeSplash Swim School.

There was another Tiki Kai Supper Club in Albuquerque.

*NOTE: The Islander at this location is not to be confused with the Tommy Wong's Island (circa. 1977 -1983) which was about 11 minutes South of this location. That Tommy Wong's location now appears (as of 2025) to be a parking lot adjacent a kosher deli.

Opened in 1965.

The Tiki Kai's main claim to fame (or infamy, depending on your perspective) was its lunchtime lingerie shows, where the voluptuous waitresses would wear only see-through negligees while serving customers.

The Tiki Kai eventually burned down.

There was another Tiki Kai Supper Club in Denver.

Tiki Room in Pomona was open at least as early as 2000 and was a rental space used for bands to have live shows.

It was a spacious venue, with dim lighting, glow-in-the-dark paintings, caged go-go dancers, a stage for dancing and a maximum capacity of about 2,000 people.

It closed in 2007, and the building that housed it has been demolished.

BEFORE:

When it originally opened (@2005-2006), this bar had a great cartoonish logo tiki (and matching mug) that were designed by Squid. However, the overall feel of the place had more of a dive college beer bar vibe -- accentuated by the televisions turned to sports shows, the Corona beer pennant banners strung around the white ceiling, and the neon bar signs for Pacifico beer. Vodka (much more than rum) took up a substantial portion of the back bar and while they did have a menu of tiki drinks, they skewed towards the sweet concoctions typical before the craft cocktail revolution. There was some bamboo on the pillar room supports and bar itself, but this was still more of a beach bar and grill with its yellow and light blue painted walls. In fact, their sign logo used to read "Hukilounge" but was changed to "Bar and Grill" which made more sense.

SIDE NOTE:

The original owner, Tom Davies (Tiki Tom), sold his share in 2006. That original owner then opened another Tiki Tom's in nearby Oakland in 2008 which subsequently burned down. The two restaurants were otherwise unconnected.

CURRENTLY:

The new logo is now an outrigger canoe as seen on the front entrance.

Tiki Tom's had a huge tiki makeover, courtesy of Bamboo Ben, and re-opened on August 24th, 2021. The interior decor is much improved and now several walls have been covered in nautical style planks (caulked with black pitch), the ceiling is festooned with amazing tiki lamps, nets, flotsam & jetsam, and select tiki artwork that can be seen in every nook and cranny. The interior is much darker and mysterious with multi-colored mood lighting as well.

The cocktail menu is also more in line with what discerning tikiphiles have come to appreciate from craft cocktail tiki bars.

Opened November 12th, 1964 by Bill Blinko and Vic Booth.

It was Prince George's first downtown supper club.

This was a well-known live music venue.

The club went bankrupt and closed its doors on December 5th, 1966.

Today, as of 2023, this is a vacant lot.
