The Myna Bird was a tiki bar in the International Market Place in Honolulu, opened on May 19, 2017. The small bar was part of The Street, a food-court-like collection of restaurants and bars by Michael Mina. The tiki bar paid tribute to the Don the Beachcomber restaurant in Waikiki, which was the anchor of the original International Market Place.

Closed on 11/08/2020.

UPDATE: This space was re-named the Tipsy Tiki with little to no change in decor and re-opened some time prior to December 2021.

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.

Don the Beachcomber is located within the Royal Kona Resort, where it opened in 2005.

This location is not to be confused with the historic, long-gone Don the Beachcomber restaurants run by Donn Beach or his partner Sunny Sund, but rather was opened by someone who picked up the rights to the name here in the Hawaiian Islands. Mainland rights to the Don the Beachcomber name are currently held by the newer Don the Beachcomber chain (including Madeira Beach and others run by 23 Restaurant Services after they acquired the brand from Delia Snyder).

The bar and restaurant are open-air, overlooking the ocean, but sheltered by a large, round roof. The restaurant in particular is full of fantastic '70s-chic Tiki loveliness, thanks to architect George "Pete" Wimberly.

A vibraphonist can sometimes be found playing in the bar as the sun sets over the ocean.

Food is on the more upscale end of Kailua-Kona dining.

A very short-lived, modern reincarnation of the Don the Beachcomber chain, located on the grounds of the Royal Lahaina Resort. The space is mostly gutted, and is now used as an entry area for the resort's evening luau.

Opened in the mid 2000's (at least as early as 2006) and closed in 2007.

This bar and restaurant overlooking the ocean opened in downtown Lahaina in 2008. The decor was light on tiki, but they did offer a custom tiki mug for sale in the traditional three-face bucket style.

Mai Tai Lounge closed in 2013, and the location became Koa's Seaside Grill, which then became Koa 156º, and then closed as well. As of 2022 this site appears to be hosting a Del Sol sunglasses and clothing store.

Beach Bumz is a small store within a shopping center in Kihei, selling tourist items, including plenty of tiki mugs and other items of interest to the modern tikiphile. In the same shopping center as South Shore Tiki Lounge.

Opened @ 2006.

A tiki bar & restaurant, tucked into a shopping center in Kihei. The decor is a mix of Polynesian Pop and surfing, with plenty of bamboo and some tikis. The inside portion is nice and dark, and there is a spacious outdoor patio. They have other things on their menu but are primarily known for their pizza. Beach Bumz is in the same shopping center.

The Waikikian Hotel, right on the beach & lagoon at Waikiki, was a long-time touristy institution on Oahu. The Waikikian housed the Tahitian Lanai restaurant and Papeete Bar; all three opened in 1956.

The hotel is instantly recognized by its unusual lobby, a dramatically stylized A-frame fashioned from a massive hyperbolic paraboloid, designed by architect Pete Wimberley. Much of the decorative carving and other touches were from Edward Brownlee. The grounds also included tiki-spotted gardens, and the lobby housed a gallery of black velvet Leeteg paintings.

The Waikikian closed in 1996; in December 2008, a 38-story timeshare opened in its place as part of the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village complex. The new tower is called the "Grand Waikikian."

The Bishop Museum was founded in 1889 by Charles Reed Bishop in tribute to his late wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, who was the last descendant of the Kamehamehas. The museum was built on the site of the Kamehameha School for Boys, which had been established by Princess Bernice. After her death, Charles Reed Bishop started the museum to showcase the Kamehameha family heirlooms and other Polynesian artifacts. The school eventually moved, allowing the Bishop Museum to expand, and it has grown over time so that it now houses a rather massive collection. One of the important pieces is a historic Heiau Ku carving - there are only two others, in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, and in the British Museum in London. In 2010, all three Ku tikis were put on display at the Bishop museum. The other two were shipped back to their respective museums three years later. The museum also features a section dedicated to what they call "Ku Kitsch," known to us as Polynesian Pop, with many fine examples of modern uses of the image of Ku, including a mug from Tiki Farm.

The Green Garden Restaurant was established in 1948 on the south side of Kauai, and had a number of tikis inside. It closed in 2005 and appears to have been abandoned.

This classic Hawaiian hotel with striking views of Diamond Head near the beach of Waikiki was built in 1955 by famed American industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, and was originally named Kaiser's Hawaiian Village. The property began with a few buildings, but rapidly expanded, with soaring towers eventually contributing to Waikiki's skyline. The Rainbow Tower in particular is a local landmark. Kaiser also built a nearby geodesic dome auditorium, the Kaiser Aluminum Dome, where some Exotica classics were recorded.

Hilton purchased the hotel in 1961, and still owns it today.

The Hilton Hawaiian Village and its Shell Bar were also the setting for the TV show Hawaiian Eye, produced by Warner Brothers in Burbank and originally broadcast on ABC-TV from 1959 to 1963. Hawaiian Eye was a "private eye" adventure in modern Honolulu, with murder and mayhem set against the tropical scenery of the islands. The show had a vacation-like atmosphere with plots rum-infused with luaus, surfing, ukuleles, and Navy Grogs. Anthony Eisley and Robert Conrad were the private investigators working from their stylish poolside office. Pretty nightclub singer Connie Stevens performed each week in the adjacent Shell Bar, and Hawaiian-born Poncie Ponce added to the fun as a colorful cab driver. Even the villains on the show each week seemed to be on vacation. The most familiar icon of Hawaiian Eye, however, was the tiki seen at the opening and closing of every episode. The tiki also stood in the Hawaiian Eye headquarters and served as a sort of good-luck charm for the private eyes. See photos below...

There was even a "Hawaiian Eye" cocktail with its own mug on the original menu.

Martin Denny played regularly in the Shell Bar, and for a couple of years Arthur Lyman played here with him.

There is currently no Shell Bar (or other tiki bar here), but you can get tropical cocktails at the Tropics Bar & Grill.

This was a spinoff location from the original Christian's Hut in Newport Beach. It was open from July 15th, 1957- @ 1958.
