Originally called just the "Hula Hut" when it opened 10/30/1936. This pre-Tiki south seas inspired nightspot had little decor but plenty of music and dancing girls.

It modeled itself on the success of Bob Brooks and his 7 Seas nightclub in Hollywood.

Ken Young took over the Hula Hut circa 1940. As “Ken’s Hula Hut,” it lasted for about two years. The building was demolished in December 1965.

The site is now home, as of 2020, to the Beverly La Jolla Tower, a 6-story building with high-end office spaces for lease.

Opened in Spring 2020.

From the Breakers Roar Facebook page:

"Breakers Roar is an authentic nautical Caribbean Tiki Bar located on the waterfront of Christiansted, St Croix USVI. Featuring 30 unique and flavorful Tiki cocktails made from local juices, rums and spices."

The Pacific opened in February 2014, and was a sister location to The Tiki Bar & Kitsch Inn, also in Glasgow. Tropical cocktails were served in unique tiki mugs made by Garnet McCulloch of Fireworks Studio. The food menu was a mix of American and Thai. The space was small and not densely decorated, but a small bar was trimmed with bamboo and lauhala matting, and there were pufferfish lamps hanging from the ceiling.

Closed December, 2017 and rebranded as a new restaurant called Honu -- serving a medley of exotic foods (for Glasgow) including Thai, Korean, hamburgers, etc...and a craft cocktail menu... but all the tiki and kitsch has been stripped away.

The Beachcomber was a Canadian chain of elaborate Polynesian restaurants in the same vein as other popular chains like Kon-Tiki, Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's. Aside from this Vancouver location, there were also locations in Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria and Winnipeg.

This location opened in 1960, and was briefly closed in December 1961 after a fire. The restaurant was also called The Hawaiian Village during part of its time of operation. It eventually closed in 1981.

This space has been occupied since 1984 with the newly constructed Grosvenor Building at 1040 West Georgia St.

Open at least as early as 1954, although the Tiki Room was a later addition.

The Bamboo was a Chinese restaurant that had a Tiki Room lounge. The Tiki Room was decorated with float lights, tiki masks, and of course lots of bamboo.

A Family Dollar Store is currently in this location.

Franklin Lanes was a well-preserved midcentury bowling alley, with a newer addition of a Tiki Lounge, created relatively recently by the owners, who were Fort Lauderdale transplants and Mai-Kai fans. The tiki lounge featured lots of thatch and bamboo.

The bowling alley closed Wednesday December 27th, 2017.

The Beachcomber was a Canadian chain of elaborate Polynesian restaurants in the same vein as other popular chains like Kon-Tiki, Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's. Other restaurants in the chain were located in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria.

The Beachcomber was located in the Carlton Motor Hotel in Winnipeg; the motel opened in 1961, and the Beachcomber was open at least as early as 1962. The restaurant had a "star-lit sky" ceiling, and had thatched huts, and an open "steak pit" area where patrons could see chefs at work. An alcove dining area had floats, tapa and beachcomber lamps.

The Beachcomber was open until 1990.

The Carlton Motor Hotel became the Carlton Inn, and the then non-Polynesian restaurant on site was called Paragon.

The building was torn down in 2012 when what is now the RBC Convention Centre expanded.

The Beachcomber was a Canadian chain of elaborate Polynesian restaurants in the same vein as other popular chains like Kon-Tiki, Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's. Other locations were in Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria and Winnipeg.

The Calgary location was open at least as early as 1967, judging by newspaper advertisements.

However, it burned down on April 19th, 1972, and there is now an office building where it once stood.

The Zombie Hut was a Hawaiian/Polynesian-themed restaurant, nightclub and Tiki bar located on Freeport Blvd. between Florin Road and Sutterville Road in Sacramento, California that originally opened in 1945 after the end of WWII and continuing for 45 years until its closing in 1990.

It was known for its dance entertainment, including the Samoan Fire Knife Dance and Slap Dance.

This location is now a strip mall.

Opened around 1972.

Until 1999 when it closed, this restaurant was part of the adjacent Kon Tiki Inn.

The Inn was then home to a seafood restaurant called Steamers from 2000 to 2016. From 2017 to 2020, this location was home to a restaurant called Flagship, which appears to have been unable to withstand Covid closures. Flagship was replaced by Vista Steak and Seafood (current as of 2024).

The Coast Inn was built and opened in 1929.

The South Seas was established in 1936 as a pre-Tiki bar and most of its decor shown in photos below was in place by 1941.

There were actually two bars at the Coast Inn location. Part of the charm of both bars was that tropical aquarium fish tanks were used for the bar counter tops. The upstairs bar, known as the Tap Room, was quiet, dark and sophisticated. But the downstairs bar, called the South Seas, with its Polynesian atmosphere, invited customers to let down their hair.

The location, according to past owners, started with military servicemen and local young people, surfers, and more of a "straight" crowd, but began to see more and more of a gay crowd in the 70s until it became known as more of a gay bar by the mid 1980s. This coincided with a change of the name to the "Boom Boom Room" in 1978 by the new owner.

The "Boom Boom Room" shut its doors in 2007.

However, the Coast Inn endures as of the present time (2024)...

Opened in late 2024.

Shipwrecked Paradise Island was launched by the same team that operates the Shipwrecked Tiki Bar in Davis, California -- Nate and Melissa Yungvanitsait.

This downtown Sacramento bar is deeply immersive but tilts away from the usual Polynesian beachcomber aesthetic of most classic tiki bars and instead embraces a tropical Balinese jungle island atmosphere that looks like it could easily accommodate the next film installment of Tomb Raider. After entering past huge Balinese temple guardian statues, visitors will find themselves confronted with a tiger, a giant man-eating plant, and with a huge anaconda hanging from the ceiling. If they can make their way past these obstacles to the bar, they will find a long menu of tropical and tiki cocktails waiting.
