Bali-Hai was one of the original classic Spanish "Hawaiian" bars. Opened @ 1960s.

According to reports, it was huge -- the biggest in Spain ever!

Photos below show dilapidated exterior sign years after close and a rare interior shot with a Spanish rendition of Mr. Bali Hai (with bone through nose) hanging from the ceiling.

Hades Hula House took over the old Candy Bar beneath the cinema on Hindley Street. This was a move from the previous Hades Hula House location at 52 Semaphore ROAD, Semaphore, South Australia (February 2018 - May 2022).

This new location was larger, but a bit more modern and sparse in its decor.

As always, they opened their arms to an inclusive community and had a loyal fan base that packed out the new location just as they did the old.

Hades Hula House permanently closed on Dec 30th, 2023.

After House of Ming closed, this was the oldest surviving tiki bar in Madrid, for a short time...

The house cocktail, the mythical WAWALAG TESTAMENT, combined rum, cognac and gin and was served in a huge bowl with side pockets for dry ice. The bowl (of the same name as the cocktail) was designed by C. Martinu and later produced by Porcelanas Pavon as well.

Closed in 2007, shortly after the closure of House of Ming.

Opened in 1977.

El Jube was a cocktail pub located in the old "U", in front of the "La Laguna" Health Center.

It was a calm and exotic place, jungle-like, with hanging plants everywhere, branches on the ceilings, fruits, and, a small fountain in the center, with a waterfall included, and two parakeets in a cage.

At the entrance there was a container with peanuts so that you could feed the birds.

At one point, they also had at least one monkey -- Arturo, whose owner from time to time took him for a walk around the block of the premises.

Toward the end of its life, the owners tried to convert the theme into a western/cowboy atmosphere, which many found quite jarring given its history.

The pub closed in November 2017, just as it was about to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Opened in 1951 by Roy Kelley.

This bar seems to have been adjacent to the Coral Terrace Restaurant at the Edgewater Hotel.

Since 2007, with the creation of the Waikiki Beach Walk, this entire area has been redeveloped and no signs of the original structure remain.

House of Ming was a much venerated tiki bar and Chinese style restaurant located in Madrid, Spain. It opened around 1965 and is said by many to be the first tiki bar in Spain.

Closed in September of 2007.

Apparently the owners had three separate Chinese restaurants at one time, including one called China Doll.

Kona Lei opened on March 27th, 2013.

Miguel Escobedo (Señor Castaway) and his partner, Eduardo, opened this bar at what was previously Bar Hernán Cortés.

Kona Lei appears to have closed around 2015.

Miguel went on to open the Tiki Chateau in Madrid, which closed December 1st, 2022.

As of 2021, the location of Kona Lei is now home to La Hummuseria, a vegan restaurant.

The Castaway (or "Cast Away" as it was sometimes spelled in advertising) was a bar located just outside of Geneva on the Lake, Ohio on Route 534 (eastside) heading north. South of The Strip although not located in the village, the night club became closely associated with the party scene of The Strip during the 1960s (it was open at least as early as 1963). The owner was James Brown (Jimmy). The entrance to the Castaway was a huge Easter Island Moai with gas flames coming out of its eyes. You entered through its mouth. The bar was destroyed in an arson fire in 1979.

The bar was known for its Go-Go shower dancers and for its live musical acts.

Conway Twitty recorded a live album there called "Conway Twitty Rocks At The Castaway: Geneva-on-the-lake, Ohio; 3rd-9th August 1964".

Opened in 2013.

The venue has a raised stage at the back and is known for its live music. The large main room can have tables and chairs moved to easily accommodate a large crowd.

Each tiki flanking the main bar weighs an estimated 500 kilograms and was specially designed for the occasion by the Regensburg Tiki artist Kai Sarnes (alias Haikai). This artist friend is also responsible for their house tiki mugs.

Opened in 2018.

This restaurant features Pacific Rim style cuisine and great waterfront harbor views in an open and airy interior with lots of windows and high ceilings.

This bar opened in 2010 at the Colquitt St. location and ran successfully for 9 years before closing on June 30th, 2019.

However, after a full year, they made a surprise re-opening at a new location on Caryl St., on July 6th, 2020. The Caryl St. location was very focused on outdoor space with murals on exterior walls, tables, and umbrellas to allow social distancing and air flow during Covid.

This re-opening would be short-lived, however, as Covid forced them to shutter their doors once more on October 12th, 2020.

They opened yet again for a short time but closed for good in July 2021.
