Opened in 2012, Follynesia was a beach condo in Folly Beach, just outside of Charleston.

It was owned by Tim "Swanky" Glazner and his wife Stephanie Romer (their home tiki bar is the Hapa Haole Hideaway in Knoxville, Tennessee). This vacation condo was available for rental. The condo was just a block from the Atlantic Ocean, right on Center Street, the main drag of Folly Beach, above a beachwear store. The condo was completely decorated in Polynesian Pop style, with Papua New Guinea, Maori, Hawaiian and mid-century carving styles represented. The one bedroom, one bath condo had a kitchen and could sleep up to four thanks to two queen size beds.

Closed November 26th, 2022.

Built @2007.

Aloha was a Hawaiian-Chinese restaurant that looked fairly old-school with some tiki masks and some lauhala matting.

Closed to dining permanently in mid May 2022.

The Bungalow Tropical Lounge was a three-story tropical-themed bar and restaurant, specializing in exotic cocktails and Thai food.

The decor was more vaguely tropical than Polynesian, but some traditional tiki drinks could be found there.

They had one area with several swinging rattan chairs that you could literally hang out in.

The rooftop had a "beach" area with real sand and plastic flamingos.

Closed at end of December 2020.

Tiki Bar opened in 2005 near the Colonia Roma Norte section of Mexico City. The bar had a sleek design, with lots of bamboo. Jorge Alderete (Dr. Alderete) designed a logo tiki for them that has been turned into a mug and shot.

Tiki Bar, on the northwest side of Moscow, opened in January or February of 2008. It occupied a spacious building, with several rooms featuring painted beach scenes, life-size boats, and some large tiki carvings.

Appears to have have closed @ March 2024.

Trailer Happiness is a retro-California lounge in the Notting Hill section of London, opened by John Downey in 2003.

Rather than finding its inspiration in midcentury Polynesian restaurants, it aimed for the feel of an American, kitsch-heavy, basement rumpus room.

The tiki-heavy drink menu was developed with a helping hand from famed cocktailian Dale DeGroff.

They proclaimed over 300 rums behind the bar.

The bar changed hands and has been owned by Sly Augustin since 2012.

For many years, patrons were greeted by Bianca the topless hula girl statue in the front window, but it appears Bianca has gone on vacation for parts unknown in recent years...

Augustin has made changes and updates since the early years, and especially after a disaster that happened to the bar right on the heals of Covid...

On July 12th, 2021, the location was flooded, but since then, they've been able to deal with the damages, do extensive remodeling, and re-open thanks in great part to help from the bar and spirits industry who have been very supportive and consider the location to be an iconic part of the bar landscape.

Formerly the Okoboji Inn.

Tiki Torch Restaurant and Bar was short-lived: it opened in the summer of 2008, and was gone by January of the next year. It served burgers and tropical cocktails. Scooter riders got happy hour prices all the time.

This site was home to Providence Tavern (later just "Providence") from 2019 - 2024.

Lun Wah was a Chinese restaurant located in a nondescript strip mall, with Polynesian decor and tropical drinks served in tiki mugs. It became Lun Wah in 1974, and before that time it was called the Red Dragon. The restaurant had lots of bamboo and tapa cloth on the walls, and like most other tiki joints in this corner of the country, the few tikis looked like they were painted by a kindergartener. Other features of the decor included booths in bamboo huts, illuminated palm tree wall scenes, artificial palm trees throughout the restaurant and a koi pond with a functioning rock waterfall. The ceiling of the dining room was painted white unfortunately, but the dim lighting helped to make it feel cozy. The menu included a flaming pu-pu platter.

In 2013, Lun Wah was taken over by a new family who were going strong and keeping the tiki character intact, and making some upgrades.

However, Covid shutdowns and restrictions took their toll and they were forced to close permanently in February 2021.

The Pago Pago Club was reportedly a hangout for staff at the Disney Studios, which were located across the street. Exact dates of the operation of the club are not known, but it was open as early as 1947 (per a postcard drawn by a Disney artist). Guitarist Paul Page played off and on at the Pago Pago for ten years.

Not a lot remains aside from the occasional drink token that pops up from time to time...

Before becoming a Don the Beachcomber (around 1977 or so), this location was Tonga Lei.

It closed in 1987, and this location is now the non-tiki Malibu Beach Inn.

Opened in 1996.

Aloha Cruz was a vintage Hawaiiana store with some tiki offerings. Vintage tiki mugs, tikis and other tiki collectibles were for sale, along with vintage aloha wear and rattan furniture.

Aloha Cruz used to be located in Hermosa Beach, but in April 2004 relocated to a smaller space in Redondo Beach.

The storefront has been closed, and the owner now sells items online only.

For 10 years (1998-2008), Aloha Cruz organized a large vintage Hawaiiana collectibles event, called "Da Show."
