From the Hula's Modern Tiki website:

"In 2018, after 10 amazing years on Central Avenue, HULA’S surfed into an all-new location in uptown Phoenix. Led by partner Chris Delaney (who is the design soul of HULA’S) we stripped the old, dark space back to its mid-century modern bones, added a soaring central bar, the top embedded with tumbled sea glass, and built out a spacious indoor-outdoor dining patio replete with HULA’S signature fire pit. Plus, we added HULA’S first-ever private dining space (The Tiki Room) and a nautical-themed craft cocktail bar/lounge called The Captain’s Cabin."

Hula's modern re-located here in 2018 from their original location on Central Avenue (2009-2018) and then opened a location on High Street as well, making a grand total of three Hula's locations in Arizona if you include the Scottsdale location as well.

The main area is pretty sparse, going with the modern aesthetic/theme but there are a couple of tikis outside flanking the door and there are some tiki plaques at the back of the room close to the restrooms. Inside there is colored mood lighting but also bar televisions set to sports channels.

For tikiphiles, you may want to call ahead if you have a large group and reserve the more lavish Tiki Room area in back which is preceded by a large tiki and mug shelf display -- and upon entering reveals a more traditionally tiki atmosphere with lauhala matting on the walls, a large swag lamp in the center, more tiki plaques, and padded benches covered in tropical barkcloth print fabric. This room is served just as another portion of the main Hula's restaurant with the same food and cocktail menu.

However, outside and from an unmarked door separate from the rest of Hula's is a speakeasy style bar called The Captain's Cabin, which has its own cocktail menu and is housed inside a room meant to resemble its namesake with rough planking and nautical furnishings. It does not have its own bathroom so you may have to go next door to Hulas. See separate listing for this Captain's Cabin bar...

This location opened in 2020.

From the Hula's Modern Tiki website:

"Kick back and enjoy a tropical beach ‘staycation’ anytime of the year at our all-new HULA’S High Street in North Phoenix. Seating up to 130 inside, plus another 60 outside on the wraparound outdoor dining deck, warm up with our cozy fire-pits or soak in the tropical breeze with our state-of-the-art mister fan system. Plus, you can plan your own private beach party in our palm-tree-topped Tiki Room, available for events up to 36 people."

In addition to this newest 2020 location on High Street, two other Hula's Modern locations are currently open in Arizona: a Scottsdale location opened in early 2014 and a location in uptown Phoenix where the first Hula's Modern re-located to in 2018.

Opened in February of 2016.

This bar and restaurant is located within a converted house and has a beach cottage feel with lots of open air seating. Pets are welcome.

Skull & Crown Trading Company opened in downtown Honolulu's Chinatown in June of 2019. They occupy the spot formerly occupied by Grondin French-Latin Kitchen. Noa Laporga and Angelina Khan run Skull & Crown Trading Co., which is the latest in the duo’s history of mysterious, haunting and enchanting ventures. You might know them from Haunted Plantation, which takes over Hawai‘i Plantation Village every Halloween; they also ran the Unlocked escape room at Ward Warehouse in 2016 and Ala Moana’s Ghost Bar in October 2018, as well as a special effects company, Black Box FX. In keeping with this background, the bar has a bit of a "dark tiki" theme with a creepy mermaid over the bar and lots of skulls.

Their craft cocktail menu is chosen with care, regularly switched up with new items, and has received rave reviews.

There is also a back patio area.

The Chi Chi opened in 1936 as the Desert Grill. Eventually, Jack Freeman sold his financial interest in the profitable eatery to his business partner, Irwin Schuman, who revamped it as a fancy Polynesian-style restaurant and bar.

Schuman christened his new venture Chi Chi Grill Cocktail Lounge in 1938 — inspired by an exotic portrait of a topless Hawaiian girl painted by Edgar Leeteg he’d seen in an art gallery on a trip to Honolulu.

Credit for the club’s name also has been attributed to Palm Springs artist Jack Church, who reportedly dubbed the painting “the Chi Chi girl” because of her sexy expression. For good luck, Schuman displayed a copy of Leeteg’s portrait, Hina Rapa, on the wall of his cocktail lounge. Onlookers found the image of the smiling native girl so captivating that Schuman blithely had it reprinted on cocktail napkins, dishware, glasses, matchbooks, swizzle sticks, menus, and playing cards. These dinner-table items quickly became prized souvenirs.

“I did not give Chi Chi permission to use my Hina Rapa to reproduce in any way,” complained Leeteg in an angry letter from his home in Tahiti. “The least they could do is to give me a credit line, but that is too much to expect from a Hollywood gin mill.”

The unexpected controversy helped publicize the tropical-themed restaurant; and Schuman opened a second Chi Chi bar in 1946 on Santa Catalina Island. More locations followed in Riverside, Hollywood, Long Beach, and San Diego.

The media described this giant supper club as “The second biggest nightclub west of the Mississippi,” where some of the brightest names in showbiz gathered for more than 25 years.

Practically any New York and Las Vegas headliner that ever took a bow performed at the Chi Chi in its heyday: song and dance pioneers such as Eddie Cantor, Sophie Tucker, Rudy Vallee, the Ritz Brothers, Lena Horne, and Mickey Rooney, along with virtuoso performers such as Tony Martin, Jane Russell, Hoagy Carmichael, Rosemary Clooney, Johnny Mathis, and Peggy Lee.

The Chi Chi lasted until 1977 when it was torn down and replaced by The Desert Fashion Plaza.

Port O' Three was a very short-lived restaurant that lasted only a couple of years. It opened in 1971. The facility was big, seating approximately 500 people and with 140 workers/crew with 3 different themed dining rooms...a Polynesian Room, Japanese Room and a Ship/Nautical Room that had a 19th century schooner ship inside. The Ship Room was designed to give the feeling of being on a top deck of a sailing vessel. In-between the main dining rooms was a tiki bar with hand painted (black light) murals on the walls. The property, a site of the former landmark, Devon Gables, was acquired by Marvin Chin, (CHIN TIKI) Dr. Walter Thom, and Rourke Haas in May of 1971 and they re-opened it as Port O' Three in September of that same year. Since Marvin Chin, owner of the Chin Tiki, was also co-owner of Port O' Three, its menu, swizzles, and signage used many of the same graphics (and same drink list) as the Chin Tiki.

Opened in June 2019 right next to the Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay. This small bar and grill offers great views as well as food and drinks.

Canlis Charcoal Broiler Restaurant was opened in 1954 by owner Peter Canlis and architect George Pete Wimberly. It is known for its high-end architectural and interior design as well as the kimono-clad waitresses. It also had a large 15' tiki in the main banquet hall whose design is repeated on their logo menu art. This tiki was carved by Edward "Mick" Brownlee (a non native who was also acknowledged as a master woodcarver and became known as the "Waikiki Wood Carver". Brownlee also carved for The Waikikian, The Tahitian Lanai, The International Marketplace and the Aku Aku in Las Vegas. His story is documented in the book, Waikiki Tiki, by Phillip S. Roberts. A second Canlis' Restaurant was later opened in Seattle, Washington. The original Canlis' was razed in 1998.

This location opened in 1959 as a tiki themed coffee shop belonging to the Spencecliff Corporation which owned many classic tiki themed unique architectural sites. Today it is Flamingo. There were at least two other Tops locations, one in Waikiki and one in Waipahu.

From their website: "Black Hat bar is a Caribbean pub with tropical cocktails by Dima Sokolov, island cuisine and an oceanfront hut interior. 100 kinds of rum!" They have a tiki mascot for their logo and use tiki mugs, but many of them are the pop culture variety. There appears to be at least one large tiki carving in the main bar area. Most of the decor is beach shack style with a little bit of pub thrown in. This bar appears to have inherited the Aloha Bar Facebook page, as all the most recent posts from that now closed venue are directing traffic to Black Hat.

The renovated B Ocean resort hotel was built in 1956 and was originally known as the Yankee Clipper. Under new ownership, it has some new additions, like the Naked Crab restaurant on one end of the lobby. But across from the restaurant, the Wreck Bar remains pretty much unchanged. With its nautical flair, stained glass and rope elements, it's fashioned to look like a Spanish Galleon ship that didn't make it quite to shore -- hence the name.

Although technically a nautical bar and not a tiki bar, The Wreck does incorporate some Indonesian style tiki masks in its main room.

Above the bar, six large portholes offer views into one of the retro hotel's swimming pools. From 1956 until 1965, the Yankee Clipper hosted swim shows, incorporating the portholes.

Marina Anderson started MeduSirena (an underwater spectacle featuring a team of figure swimmers, the Aquaticats) at Wreck Bar in 2006 as an homage to that past.

Marina herself, became a headlining personality at many tiki events and the Wreck Bar became almost synonymous with her and the Aquaticats -- at least until May 2024 when the bar suddenly fired her and her group (16 mermaids & mermen) after 18 years of entertainment -- replacing them with a separate mermaid group.

Opened in February of 2018.

From their website:

"Hades Hula House is Adelaide's Premier tiki bar and restaurant. Exotic flavours and liquid libations await those who dare!

Owned by entrepreneur and powerhouse Abby Roennfeldt 'Just Abby', Hades Hula House was birthed to life from her love of tiki culture and good drinks. Never one to shy away from the limelight Abby and her team of hospitality guns have been pushing this small bar from strength to strength.
