Opened on October 10th, 2021 in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

Lono Cove's "contemporary tiki bar" brand had already been well-established in Chester (2018-2022) and had won a handful of industry awards. Branching out from what owner Luke Edge called its "prototype site" in the city of Chester, this new bar in Manchester’s Northern Quarter was a larger and more expansive version by all accounts.

Formerly the site of Apotheca on Thomas Street.

Appears to have closed @ April 2024.

Opened in June 2020.

This is the first tiki bar in Fort Worth since Ren Clark's Polynesian Village closed in 1969.

Co-owned by Autumn Brackeen, who’s also co-owned The Boiled Owl on Magnolia Avenue since 2012. She and fellow co-owner Jason Alford worked together to bring forth this concept which combines classic tiki with nautical and a touch of the macabre.

This Lola Lo location opened in April 2012 in what was previously the space occupied by Sakura bar and closed in November 2016. It was replaced by Lincoln Fever (a disco bar).

Set in a basement in the heart of Lincoln, one of the biggest challenges for the design team was how to incorporate a historical Roman wall through the middle of the space that had to remain visible but untouchable, so incorporating the elements of stone, a silhouette of Moais was incorporated on the glass to allude to their natural origins.

The main club room with flaming bar front and reclaimed timber wall had unique hand-painted volcano graphics and was surrounded by other tropical décor well known at Lola Lo’s such as the puffer fish lanterns and fisherman’s floats lights, fish traps and tapa cloth and vintage Hawaiian print seating. Seating area tables had glass-topped curiosity boxes showing off shrunken heads.

Laki Kane opened in July of 2018 and was located in the heart of Upper Street Islington, London.

Beyond the Polynesian inspired decor one typically associates with tiki bars, Laki Kane also tried to pull from other tropical areas, including the Caribbean (bongo drums) and South East Asia (elephant wallpaper and swinging chairs).

While those who frequent tiki bars may have been disappointed at the lack of tiki carvings (although there were some pillar tikis) or tiki artwork, they did have several very impressive in-house tiki mugs designed by Bai of France just for this location and a very robust tropical craft cocktail menu.

The name Laki Kane comes from the lucky (Laki) sugar cane (kane) which is converted over time into the rums used in their cocktails.

The cocktail list was designed by co-owner, Georgi Radev, a former Mahiki bar manager (11 years at that location) and author of the cocktail book, Let's Get Tropical.

The bar prided itself on being the first in the world not to use any refined sugar in its cocktails. Instead the bar used natural sweeteners including sugar cane juice, agave, honey and a wide range of tropical sweeteners.

They also endeavored to use a range of fruits not commonly seen in western cocktails, including Soursop (something between coconut and peach), Cupuacu (between peach and cacao), and Wood Apple (cross between mango, peach and grapefruit).

Each table was fitted with call buttons for service, meaning that you could call on tiki-dressed waiters at any time for a re-fill.

They also had a micro distillery on premises and made their own bespoke rum in the upstairs bar, The Spiced Dry Rum Club. This area was dedicated to teaching guests Laki Kane’s unique re-distillation process.

The kitchen was helmed by renowned chef Michael Moore in its early years.

In late 2024, celebrity Chef Collin Brown took over the helm and introduced a vibrant, internationally-inspired tapas menu at the Islington bar. Brown is known for his work with A-list celebrities and his Caribbean-inspired cuisine.

This bar announced its closing date for September 1st, 2025.

Opened in December 2018. Tiki TNT is the side-bar attached to the Potomac Distilling company at the Washington D.C. Wharf complex.

3 levels of seating for over 250 people. The decor is more modern island vibe than dark and forbidding classic tiki lounge -- with extremely high ceilings painted a light blue, pink walls, plate-glass windows, and bright Edison bulbs hanging over the central bar.

There are several tiki drinks, both classic and new, along with some food options on the menu. Potomac Distilling Company is Todd Thrasher's rum distillery, and the rum is available for purchase.

This Dupont Circle Luau Hut, also sometimes called Luau's In-Inn Supper Club, was a short-lived sister location to the original Luau Hut location in Silver Spring, opened in 1970. It was owned by Moon Kim and Paul Malonson. There was another Washington, D.C. Luau Hut location on Capitol Hill.

Tacoma Cabana was opened by owner and bartender Jason Alexander and Robyn Murphy in Tacoma's downtown in 2012. The establishment was a mix of traditional midcentury Polynesian Pop, with some more modern-day Hawaiian influences. The bar had a large selection of rums, and a particular focus on the quality of the cocktails.

Alexander and Murphy opened a new tiki bar nearby, Devil's Reef, in January 2018, where they lean harder into full-on tiki. Over the next months they worked to shift their efforts entirely to the new business, and closed Tacoma Cabana on September 1, 2018.

Opened in August 2013.

Three Dots and a Dash was the creation of star bartender Paul McGee, in partnership with Lettuce Entertain You, a Chicago area restaurant group. The bar is named for the classic Don the Beachcomber drink, itself a WWII call for victory using the Morse code for "V." The focus at Three Dots and a Dash is on cocktails, but it also delivers on the special Polynesian Pop details we've come to expect... most notably on the beautifully detailed souvenir mugs. There is a small menu of food, including a flaming Pu-Pu Platter.

In November 2014, Paul McGee left Three Dots and a Dash, and in January 2015 opened Lost Lake (However, Lost Lake is closed since January 2022).

The Three Dots and a Dash space is divided up into several sections, including The Bamboo Room (an exclusive 22-seat bar-within-a-bar opened in 2019). Led by Beverage Director Kevin Beary, The Bamboo Room was recognized as one of Esquire’s “Best Bars in America” in 2022. An ode to rum and rhum agricoles, the menu is composed of refined and focused rum drinks presented across multiple cocktail styles. Separate menu shown below...

Bruce T. Marston was a Californian serving in Tahiti as a Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Air Force. There, he met Louise, who was from Tubuai, just south of Tahiti. They fell in love, and moved to the town of Hanalei on the north side of the island of Kauai in Hawaii. There, in 1963, they opened Tahiti Nui.

Tahiti Nui became the go-to gathering place for Kauai's north shore, with musicians, hula dancing, and occasional singing from "Auntie Louise" Marston herself. Louise passed away in 2003, and Tahiti Nui is now run by Bruce and Louise's son, Christian.

Tahiti Nui makes an appearance in the 2011 film The Descendants.

The restaurant serves a mix of Hawaiian seafood standards and Italian food. The drink menu is limited, but they do have their own Mai Tai recipe, which they've been serving since they first opened. They still have live music and hula dancing.

The walls are lined with lauhala matting and bamboo, with Oceanic art pieces hanging here and there. The small round tabletops are painted with Polynesian designs, and the barstools are carved tikis. There is a small curio shop attached to the restaurant.

Established in 1957, this bar on the north side of Wichita was originally a liquor store.

When converted over, the interior once had quite a bit more tiki decor.

Now, the bar has some tiki masks on the exterior of the building but that's about it, and some of these are missing in the latest remodel.

These tiki mask paintings were also used at Del Webb's Ocean House in San Diego -- shown in the Jerry Lewis film, The Big Mouth (1967) -- and at the Kon-Tiki Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona.

It's really a beer bar, not a tiki bar. They do have a few cocktails on their menu, but their Mai Tai is made with Malibu rum, so you might want to stick to Bud Light.

Paradise Club (or Club Paradise, depending on which sign you read) has been under the same ownership since about 1991. It has gone through at least two name changes since its opening in 1954, when it was first known as Gene Kamp's Island Home. For a while it was known as Gracie Dee's Sneaky Tiki.

Lauhala matting is used throughout (and the bar appears to still have its original ceiling treatment) but the tiki/tropical vibe has been toned down over the years.

Drinks, once selected from the single tropical drink menu on the premises, are served in tiki mugs. They are known for their original, called the "Banana Spider".

The bar reportedly has a bit of a dive bar feel, and caters to the area's robust Polish population.

The Waikiki Motel had a prime location, just south of Disneyland (the park is even painted into the background of the Waikiki Motel's postcards). The building is gone, this site now holds the Desert Palm Inn & Suites.
