Opened in 1979.

A somewhat Polynesian Pop tiki bar and restaurant right on the main island of Bora Bora in French Polynesia.

It features a thatched roof, open sides, white sand floor, wooden slab tables and stools made of coconut stumps. Some carved tikis are on site that look like they could have come out of Oceanic Arts in Whittier, CA. Mary's has been visited by many celebrities over the years and the bar is proud to showcase their carved "walls of fame" with each celebrity's name -- some of whom have performed impromptu shows for the bar.

They also serve as a venue for traditional dance groups.

Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort began as the Wakulla Apartments, until the location was sold to the Mishler family in 1972 and converted to a motel. From then, until 2018 the site was known as the Wakulla Suites. The name was Native American, but the decor was Pop Polynesian. With 2018's extensive renovation and re-branding, the discrepancy is no longer a concern.

In addition to the previous tikis and tiki decor on the grounds, the Pop Polynesian theme has been further expanded with even more tiki decor and a lazy river in the pool area. There is now a poolside Tiki Bar for hotel guests only. The bar has two mugs for sale, a plastic tiki mug with the hotel name on the back and the other mug is a hollowed-out lidded coconut monkey.

Tiki Limbo is a small hotel/hostel, restaurant and surf shop catering to the casual, backpacking tourists who come through this small coastal town. It was created in 2003 by the husband and wife team of Fernanda Solis (from Argentina) and Lorenzo Torre (from Spain). The couple supervised the full construction of the thatch-covered, '50s Americana, Polynesian Pop-inspired building. Every room of the entire building is thoroughly decorated in thatch, bamboo, and other tropical details and there are plenty of tikis.

The hotel has 11 rooms in both group and private configurations. The restaurant specializes in vegetarian fare, as well as seafood. The shop sells surf clothes and accessories, and offers surf rentals as well.

Luau is a Chinese restaurant in the Zona Rosa section of Mexico City. The building has a large Chinese pagoda facade, and the interior is decorated in an Asian style, with dragons and porcelain pieces. There don't appear to be any specifically Polynesian elements in the decor, but there are "tiki adjacent" elements present like their green ceramic Chinese tiles (utilized by Trader Vic's and other tiki locations) and a nice indoor koi pond made with what looks like lava rock. But in keeping with the seemingly incongruous Polynesian name, tropical drinks are served, and tikis have appeared in advertisements.

From their website:

"In 1957, Mr. Fong, an immigrant of Chinese origin, decided to rent a small space of just a few meters, in a house located on Calle de Niza in the Zona Rosa of Mexico City, to sell Chinese-Cantonese food using the original recipes of the family and naming the restaurant Luaú a word of Hawaiian origin that means "Banquet".

The delicious flavors of said foreign food soon caught the attention of Mexicans and the Chinese themselves, so the restaurant had to expand little by little until it became the restaurant it is today, with more than 1000 square meters, 2 lounges and a capacity for 200 diners, and with more than 100 dishes on the menu."

Sam's Maui is owned by three brothers, Mark, Wyatt and Alan Payne. The trio moved to Okinawa from their original home in Hawaii when their father Ray's employer, Coca-Cola, relocated the family there.

Sam's Maui is a Teppan yaki restaurant with strong Polynesian influences in the decor. The walls are lined in bamboo, there are war clubs and other carvings throughout, and two large Papua New Guinea tikis greet you at the interior entrance to the main dining area.

There are seven restaurants in the Sam's chain in Okinawa; all are nautical, and four (including this one) have strong tiki/Polynesian elements. The other three tiki locations are Sam's By The Sea in Gushi/Naha, Sam's By The Sea in Awase and Sam's Maui on Kokusai street.

This restaurant used to be a Hu Ke Lau (opened in July 1969), a sister location to the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee (and several others in a small chain), until the current owners bought it @ 1971 and rechristened it Luau Hale.

The Luau Hale's traditional mix of Chinese food and faux Polynesian decor was in full effect for decades, with elaborate painted murals, Orchids of Hawaii hanging lights, a scattering of tikis, and a dramatic pagoda right in the restaurant. By contrast, the exterior of the building was unassuming: a simple brick structure, with no windows. A menu of traditional tropical drinks was available, and were reportedly of high quality, and potent.

The Covid pandemic hit this business hard, according to the owners, and financially they never quite recovered despite community support. The death of co-founder Sam Woo in September 2023 made continuing the restaurant untenable and they closed several months later on March 30th, 2024.

Hawaiian Isle was in the Sunny Isles area of North Miami Beach, very near another complex, The Castaways. It had a weathered shingle-clad pyramid over the main entrance, a sort of sharp, angular, modern take on a primitive hut. The tikis on site were highly stylized (in particular a large, back-lit, glowing mask near the entrance), and many were Witco tikis.

Today the location is a high-rise condominium complex called Pinnacle.

This new Trader Vic's location opened in April 2009, in the new LA Live complex near Staples Center and downtown L.A.

Like most Trader Vic's restaurants, this was a franchise location.

This one was owned by John Valencia.

The large exterior tikis were carved by Tiki Diablo.

It closed in March 2014.

Tiki Bar Sargans is located in a small mountain town in the Swiss Alps, east of Zurich, and very near to Austria and Lichtenstein. It was opened on July 13, 2006 by Urs Schumacher. The most prominent feature is a boat that has been turned into a large table for casual bar seating. The furniture is mostly rattan seating, and there are a few small and large tikis on the premises.

Closed @April 16th, 2021.

Tiki Town Adventure Golf is a themed, 18-hole mini golf course. It opened in 2013 in Belmont Park, an amusement park in the Mission Beach neighborhood of San Diego. The course is charming and appropriately cartoonish, with tikis and Polynesian Pop elements found everywhere. A large volcano sits by the entrance, there are thatched structures with A-frames, and some of the holes have animatronic features. The course runs both indoors and outdoors.

There is a nearby Dole Whip stand in Belmont Park, under the Sky Ropes Adventure.

Tiki Lau was opened in the early 1970s by Peter Yee. Tiki Lau offered standard Chinese fare and tropical drinks. There was a moai with light-up eyes over the entrance, a fountain in the lobby entry, and a few tikis scattered throughout. The theming was a little more complete in the bar area, which was darker and had some bamboo. In early 2007 it was sold to new owners, who operated it under the name "The New Tiki" for a short time until it ultimately closed on September 27, 2008.

The Tropics opened November 18, 1954. At one point it suffered a fire which gutted the interior. It was re-opened soon afterward.

At some point it was known as Georgie Rudin's Tropics -- at least as early as 1960 when Barney West was contracted to carve 4 large tikis for the establishment.

Cantonese and American food was served, and tropical drinks were served in tiki mugs. It was well-known as a live music venue.

The restaurant closed in 1988. A wrecking crew took down the structure later in 1994.
