Open at least from 1965-67.

This place has been here since at least 1940 when they ran advertisements in the local newspapers to let people know about their jitterbug dance contests and live hula dance reviews.

Today, the front still has a couple of neon palm trees flanking their sign, but the interior looks like a regular dive small town beer and cocktail bar with no Polynesian Pop or South Seas flourishes.

Located at the Thor-Go Mall on 43rd and Dunlap.

As of 2023, this mall appears to now be re-named the Angal Dunlap Shopping Mall.

This pre-tiki location was opened September 18, 1937.

Advertised All-Star Tahitian Entertainment and French dinners.

Closed some time prior to 1947 and the space was put up for lease.

*NOTE: There was a second Tahitian Hut opened afterwards on 801 Geary Street in San Francisco.

Opened circa 1969-1970.

The Diamond Head restaurant was located on the famous Route 1 strip in Saugus, not too far from the Kowloon Restaurant.

They served American and Chinese food and had a wide assortment of cocktails to choose from.

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 @2002 and closed @2008.

Part of the Surrey Inn, which was active from 1974-2013.

The site is now home to Coast Capital Savings.

Stefan Kéry opened Tiki Room in Stockholm on January 23, 2002, becoming the first tiki bar in Sweden, at a time when tiki bars didn't tend to open anywhere, much less in the far-flung corners of the globe. The walls are lined with tapa cloth, bamboo, and lauhala mats, and a warm glow is provided by an array of pufferfish lamps and Orchids of Hawaii lights. There are tikis aplenty, including a tiki post standing guard at every booth. The menu has a mix of classic and modern tiki favorites, including bowl drinks served in tiki-flanked volcano bowls.

Opened in the mid 90s.

The Lava Lounge was not truly a tiki bar -- it was mainly a beer joint -- but those who are into such places dug the dim lighting, booths and music. They did have a small cocktail menu, shown below.

The back bar was supported by two carved tiki posts, and there were a few great old tiki mugs among the collection of jetsam & flotsam behind the bar. That was about it.

From the late '70s through the '80s, this space was occupied by a bar called Hawaii West.

Closed January 2022 ahead of a redevelopment of that block of Belltown. Apartments directly in back of the site caught fire in June 2022, and the site remained boarded after that.

The hotel now in this location is called "Inn by the Harbor." It doesn't look like it could have once been Polynesian, it looks too Spanish-influenced, and seems probable that the original Polynesian Motel has been razed.

Built in 1950.

This restaurant at the Villa Hotel closed in 1988.

The Lanai had a dramatic neon palm tree sign, and an almost identical one stood at The Leilani in Fresno until 2014.

The Villa Hotel has now been converted to apartments -- The Villa at San Mateo.
