Opened May 16th, 2023.

Located on Lewers Street in the old Moose McGillycuddy’s space.

The Pupu House on the first level is a family-friendly restaurant and bar, while Kiki’s Tiki Bar, located upstairs on the second level, is a DJ driven Dance Club/Nightclub.

The Inter-Island Resorts' Kauai Surf Hotel - at Kalapaki Beach - Kauai opened on July 1st, 1960.

Kauai Surf is still with us, in another incarnation and after all these decades, it is still one of the most popular Hawaiian destinations. It was bought by Westin in 1985, completely overhauled (to the tune of $22 million) and reopened in 1987 as the Kauai Westin. Out went the tikis and in came an over the top pan-Asian motif! They added dozens of Asian statues, some small, some huge, still scattered across the hotel's incredible 51 acres. What was the Kauai Surf's pond and gardens, became the Westin's swimming pool, the biggest in the state, measuring 26,000 square feet of water surface and 210 feet in diameter. Barely out of debt, the hotel was devastated by Hurricane Iniki in 1992 and stood vacant until 1995, when the property was purchased by Marriott.

It then became the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club. Remodeled yet again, Marriott replaced most of the Westin's Asian art with Hawaiian art. As mentioned above, many of the Asian statues still remain. But the overall decor is now Polynesian. Throughout the hotel's common areas are dozens of exhibits of shark-tooth weapons, hula instruments and drums and Kapa cloth (a couple of pieces dating back to the 18th century) and all the art is of pre-colonized Hawaii. Bright tropical patterns characterize the newly reupholstered restaurant and lobby furniture. The new lobby area rugs also have tropical themed patterns. Overall you will definitely feel that you are in a Hawaiian resort.

The mid-century furniture and swings are gone, and most of the original Tikis are history, except for 3 carvings on the beach, but the rooms still look basically the same.

The Planter's Lounge is now Duke's Canoe Club, the main restaurant and bar at the resort.

Throughout these remodels, they never tore down or altered the basic structure of the original Kauai Surf. A new tower has been added, flanking the pool, but the original towers still remain, seemingly untouched!

The hotel with which Marriott's Kauai Beach Club shares a campus has changed management and been re-branded as the Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort Lihue Hotel effective March 24, 2021.

Opened in December 2024 in the basement under the historic Phoenix Saloon in New Braunfels, Texas.

The build-out was designed and carried out by The Boozy Doodler (Jason Straughan). Owners of the Phoenix Saloon had visited Jason's home bar, the Taboozy Lei, during Covid and had asked him if he could transform their basement into something similar.

The space incorporated lots of old school tiki elements and touches from Jason's own invention, like an animated ship in a bottle. Details included: Papua New Guinea carvings, a nautical section (with mermaid prow figure and windows looking out at the sea), tons of routered wood trim, bamboo, lauhala matting, hanging fish floats, cork floats hanging from strands of nautical rope, and much much more. The incredible attention to detail satisfied even the pickiest of tikiphiles and was evidence that this was a true labor of love.

Closed January 14th, 2025 due to disagreements between Jason Straughan and bar owners.

Opened in 1962.

The Kon Tiki restaurant in the convention center Norway Trade Fairs was the country's first exotic - or overall "foreign" restaurant - and made quite a colourful splash in the bleak, still rather poor post-war country. The Kon Tiki museum had just opened in the same area of Oslo and Thor Heyerdahl had generously given his blessing to use the name on the new eatery.

The design for the interior was done by Erik Hesselberg, artist, navigator and crew member on the expedition. Hesselberg was the one that had created the famous mask for the big sail on the raft and thus created one of Tiki's most famous logos.

The walls were covered in bamboo. There were peacock chairs by every table. A palm was brought into the room and an artificial stream ran through it. Adjacent to the restaurant there was the Safari Bar, serving cocktails in "an African environment".

The menu consisted of rather traditional Norwegian plates, spiffed up with exotic juices and tastes: Duck marinated roasted in peanut oil with plum sauce. Flounder served with grapes, bananas, oranges, and pineapple.

Norway had not seen anything quite like it. "The Kon Tiki is alone worth the whole convention center", Aftenposten wrote the day after the opening.

It lasted until around 1970, when the bar sort of devoured the restaurant and turned into a disco called the Safari Club. Some of the original interior was kept, but all was lost during a fire in 1984.

There have been several unaffiliated Blue Hawaii restaurants over the years.

This one was located in the Janaf Shopping Center in Norfolk.

They took their logo tiki from Ren Clark's Polynesian Village at some point as well.

It was part of a chain of three locations (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Portsmouth).

This was one of a local chain of motels and inns, originally built by Robert Conley in 1952, and associated with the Best Western chain.

They had a Hawaiian Lounge from 1965 onward, but this greatly expanded in 1972.

This location added a 12,000 square-foot recreational mall March 17th, 1972 which included an indoor-outdoor swimming pool, health club, putting green, and brick-patioed entertainment area with a large tiki bar, open table seating with rattan chairs, and a large 7' tall tiki at the street entrance which was flanked by tiki torches and accessed by a bamboo bridge. A second large carved tiki regarded visitors at the opposite end of the patio space as they passed into the interior of the motel. The roof over this area was a retractable dome of sorts that could be adjusted for the weather.

Conley's was known for their Polynesian revue in this large semi-outdoor Hawaiian Lounge space, which continued at least until the 1980s even though newspaper ads show a range of other entertainment advertised as well, including disco of traditional Thai dancers, etc...

This location is now a Home Depot.

Isla Nu-Bar is a walk-up bar located on the Lower Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood. It opened in summer of 2019.

The name is a play on words -- "Isla Nublar" is a fictional island that serves as a major setting in the first Jurassic Park novel and its film adaptations.

This bar was part of the newly renovated and imagined Jurassic World The Ride section of the park and features machine-blended slushy drinks as well as shaken cocktails -- all served in plastic take-home souvenir tiki mugs.

Pier 7 was located at the Ilikai which opened in February of 1964.

Pier 7 was a 24-hour coffeehouse restaurant for after-show, after-movie, after-shopping grinds. Or breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner. But after hours was the time you’d see all the headlining entertainers after their last shows. This made Pier 7 a big draw for those hoping to get a candid look at Hawaiian entertainers. Although Pier 7 eventually closed, the Ilikai Hotel endures.

*NOTE: Vintage cocktail menu below seems to have covered several locations within the Ilikai Hotel, not just one.

Luau Room was operated by Dobbs House, which owned a chain of airport concessions, and also a chain of Polynesian restaurants called Dobbs House Luau. This location opened in 1959. It was located in the terminal at Standiford Field, which today is the Louisville International Airport. The restaurant operated until 1983. When Dobbs House closed the restaurant, they sold the name and furnishings to Vern Ferguson, who relocated Luau Room near the University of Louisville.

Other Dobbs House Luau locations were in Atlanta, Memphis, Birmingham, Charlotte, Dallas, Miami, Orlando, Lexington, and Houston.

Nui Nui and the North Shore Lagoon are part of McMenamins Anderson School complex, and opened on October 15, 2015. The Anderson School is no longer a school. It opened in 1931 as Bothell Junior High School, and now lives on as a collection of attractions: a hotel, a brewery, a movie theater, restaurants, bars, the North Shore Lagoon (a swimming pool), and the Nui Nui tiki bar.

The Nui Nui tiki bar is decorated in traditional style, with lots of bamboo, distressed wood and driftwood, and pufferfish, bamboo and tapa cloth lamps. The soundtrack includes Exotica classics. The tiki bar overlooks the swimming pool. There is an extensive spirits list, including over 80 rums. The tropical cocktails are made with the classic recipes, including a Mai Tai, Zombie and Suffering Bastard.

If you'd like to swim in the pool, it is open to non-hotel guests for 2-hour open swims during the day; at the very beginning and end of the day swimming in the pool is for hotel guests only.

*Kapu Hut in Eugene, Oregon is also a McMenamins property.

Koko-Mo Bar opened in late 2013, and is a themed tiki bar within the non-tiki restaurant Grill. The bar hosts live music acts, including surf, jazz and Latin. Appropriate for its Swedish locale, the bar is decorated in a clean, modern take on tiki, with matching basket lamps and a long bar decked out in bamboo. The menu includes a variety of tropical cocktails both traditional and original, served in tiki mugs, and a good variety of rums.

Latest reports are that tiki cocktails and the Koko-Mo Bar are not being as emphasized as they once were -- however, the bamboo bar appears to still be in place.

The following appears on their website as of 2022:

"The restaurant is decorated in eight different environments. For example, you can sit in the Orient Express, Jaktstugan or Moulin Rouge. Since we change the decor from time to time, you can visit us again and again, and still experience something completely new with each visit."

So, you may or may not experience a tropical/tiki environment, depending on when you go, so best to call ahead.

House of Tiki was owned by Wes Johnson, and sold new merchandise, including aloha wear, tiki mugs, home decor, and of course tikis. This was the second location for House of Tiki, having moved from its original location (used from 2003-2008) to this location within a WWII quonset hut in December 2008. House of Tiki closed in September 2009.
