Opened May 28th, 1962 by Long Beach City Councilman Robert Crow (Mr. C).

The Outrigger Inn Motor Hotel had A-frame structures with many tikis, surrounding a courtyard with a pool. There was some lush landscaping, including a waterfall.

The hotel housed Mr. C's restaurant, which served "Polynesian, Cantonese and American cuisine."

The entryway of Mr C's featured an 11' tall statue of the Goddess Pele in tiki form, carved from monkeypod, weighing 1,800 pounds and holding a giant clam shell. Carved by Guy Wilson of Oceanic Arts.

Mr. C's appears to have been open for business as late as 1975.

The property has been extensively remodeled, and as of 2024 is home to the Hotel Current Long Beach.

The Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden was created by the Cantor Arts Center in 1994, when they brought several artists from Papua New Guinea to carve tikis on-site. Several dozen tikis, carved poles and figures are carved from wood and stone, and sit in a wooded area on the Stanford University campus.

Opened in 1999.

Small neighborhood restaurant, with a sort of beach/surf theme (it's named for the famous surf spot in New Zealand).

Decorations include bamboo, tin roofs, images of tikis, and a carved Rastafarian head with a joint in his mouth. They pull from several islands for inspiration and have tropical drinks, but for those expecting a traditional tiki bar, they might want to look elsewhere.

This hotel, located about 40 minutes southeast of Chicago, featured a tropical atrium with an indoor pool, a waterfall, fake palm trees and some large tikis. There was a bar in the atrium, called the Khaki Club, that had live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays.

The Radisson was leveled to make room for new development in 2017.

Built in 1965.

These apartments, now apparently condos, are less than a mile north of the now-closed Bahooka.

In addition to architectural details, the grounds feature some standing tikis and a working waterfall feature.

There is also a kidney shaped pool on the grounds.

Opened in 2003.

Polynesian restaurant that was located in a strip mall, serving tropical drinks in tiki mugs, and featuring Oceanic Arts lamps and a few tikis.

It closed in July 2004 after being in business for a bit over a year.

This used to be Samoa Hut.

The Harbor Hut has been family owned and operated since 1951.

There is also a fish and chips take-out building on the property called "The Li'l Hut".

Their original outdoor tikis have deteriorated and they have replaced some of them with more modern carvings. One old standing rootball headed tiki has lost his body and just the head remains if you compare earlier to later photos below...

Built in 1962.

This manufactured home community consists of 90 one-story units.

The community lies very near the Pacific Ocean, and once boasted a Manager's Office built to look like a long house, with two large tikis guarding the entrance. The tikis were removed sometime @2006, and today nothing noteworthy remains.

The last remains of Bali Ha'i at the Beach in New Orleans were relocated to this park next to city hall in Kenner (near the New Orleans airport). There are two tikis, and an A-frame gazebo at picnic shelter #4.

Opened in 1992, the White Elephant was a Polynesian/Asian restaurant in the Andromeda Hotel, an upscale boutique hotel. Suiting the hotel, this restaurant was decorated in a manner considered more elegant to the mainstream -- no tikis.

It did have wicker-backed chairs with leopard spotted upholstery on the seats but that was about as far as the exoticism went.

It is unclear when the conversion happened, but this location appears to be home to a Best Western Plus Embassy Hotel and the White Elephant is no more.

It appears they still have the wicker chairs...

This is a snack bar -- no liquor license. It is part of an in-line skate shop. They rent themselves out and help with private parties, sometimes luaus or other Hawaiian-themed events.

There are a couple of tikis on premises but this is by no means a full-time tiki establishment.

Opened 2001.

This restaurant and bar was located in a shopping complex in a suburb well north of Phoenix. It had a more Caribbean than Polynesian feel, although there were some tikis outside. It's not as if this was false advertising, though... the place was called "Cocomo Joe's," after all.

In January 2003, there was a one-man cheesy synth & guitar band playing Jimmy Buffett tunes. There were also TVs showing sports installed throughout the joint. However, the drinks were tasty, and while they didn't serve drinks in tiki mugs, there was a stack of volcano bowls at the bar.

Cocomo Joe's closed in April 2014, and as of 2021 is now the Creek Patio Grill.
