The Tahitian in Pasadena opened on November 21st, 1961.

This location at 137 S. Lake Avenue was previously home to Steve Romer's Surf Rider, which had closed only 4 years before.

The Tahtian restaurant was co-owned by Don Avalier and Bill Dove with Chef Francois Sirgant as a third partner. It was one of two Tahitian restaurants, the other location was in Studio City. There was also a Royal Tahitian restaurant in Ontario, CA that used identical lettering and was likely related. Menu cover tiki was designed by Andres Bumatay. The decor was supplied by Oceanic Arts and Sea & Jungle, and the ceramic table lamps and coconut mugs were supplied by Spurlin Ceramics.

Open through at least 1968.

The Tahitian in Studio City opened February 20th, 1959, and was one of at least 2 locations -- the other was in Pasadena. The Royal Tahitian in nearby Ontario, CA had identical lettering, and may have been related. Menu cover tiki (same as tiki outside of front door) was designed by Andre Bumatay. The decor was supplied by both Oceanic Arts and Sea & Jungle, with coconut mugs and ceramic table lamps from Spurlin Ceramics. The location is now a parking lot.

Luau Larry's is located in Avalon on Catalina Island and has been open since 1988. It has a strong party vibe. The bar is dark, has lauhala-covered walls and lots of bamboo, and a few neon signs advertising beers. There is a "cave room" booth that has artificial rock walls. The signature drink is the strong "Wiki Wacker," which comes with a palm frond hat. Other drinks on the menu are modern tropicals, tending toward the sweet and strong end. The food offerings are of the burger & sandwich sort, with some fresh seafood including oyster shooters.

This new Trader Vic's location opened in April 2009, in the new LA Live complex near Staples Center and downtown L.A.

Like most Trader Vic's restaurants, this was a franchise location.

This one was owned by John Valencia.

The large exterior tikis were carved by Tiki Diablo.

It closed in March 2014.

Element Home Furnishings was established in 2004 and offered a wide array of tropical furniture and decor, including tiki bars and tikis.

They used to be directly across the street at 723 Soquel, but moved some time around 2011-2013 and the old location is now a restaurant supply store.

The final location appears to have closed @2020.

The de Young Museum is located in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. An entire wing of the museum is dedicated to a permanent collection of Oceanic Art. The bulk of this is from The Jolika Collection of New Guinea Art, a stunning collection of over 400 pieces of native Papua New Guinea art donated by Marcia and John Friede. Ownership of the collection came under dispute in the middle of 2008, as both relatives of the Friedes and Sothebys contended that the collection had been used as collateral on loans, but this appears to have been settled. The family were paid using other funds and to pay off the Friedes’ debt to Sothebys, 29 of the nearly 400 or so pieces on display at the museum were sold by the auction house. However, most of the artifacts still remain at the de Young Museum today.

Tiki Town Adventure Golf is a themed, 18-hole mini golf course. It opened in 2013 in Belmont Park, an amusement park in the Mission Beach neighborhood of San Diego. The course is charming and appropriately cartoonish, with tikis and Polynesian Pop elements found everywhere. A large volcano sits by the entrance, there are thatched structures with A-frames, and some of the holes have animatronic features. The course runs both indoors and outdoors.

There is a nearby Dole Whip stand in Belmont Park, under the Sky Ropes Adventure.

Aqua Surf Shop was a surf gear store located only a block from the ocean. The store had a collection of vintage tiki mugs on display, and was decorated with tiki paintings. The store had a good number of carvings by Bosko, including some flanking the entrance.

In the late '00s, there was a sister location in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, it closed in 2012.

This location closed in 2015 to make way for condominium development. The surf store is still in operation, having relocated to 3847 Judah St in San Francisco, but the new location does not have tiki decor.

This was the Haight-Ashbury location of Aqua Surf Shop. This store had a variety of surf gear for sale, and also some Tiki Farm mugs. There was a collection of vintage and modern tiki mugs on display behind the counter, and the store was decorated with several tiki carvings by Bosko. The entrance had a tile mosaic depicting moai. This location closed in 2012.

The original location in San Francisco's Ocean Beach neighborhood had even more tiki character, and it remained open until the area was redeveloped in 2015. That Aqua location moved, and the new store has no tiki.

Established in 1934.

The Galley is Santa Monica's oldest bar and restaurant, and features decor from 1935's Mutiny On the Bounty (the production of that same movie also inspired the legendary Christian's Hut in Newport Beach).

The Galley is more nautical than tiki, but features a South Seas Bar with lots of bamboo and pufferfish lamps.

Another highlight of The Galley is a large collection of World War II era propaganda posters.

Tiki Tom's was a Polynesian/Caribbean restaurant, bar and banquet facility on an estuary in Oakland. This Tiki Tom's location opened in late 2008, two years after its owner, Tom Davies (Tiki Tom) sold his share of the original Tiki Tom's location in Walnut Creek; the two locations were otherwise unconnected.

Tiki Tom's burned down under "suspicious circumstances" shortly after their liquor license expired and the power was cut off, in October 2010.

The bar featured a mosaic by Laurel True (then of the Institute of Mosaic Art) 3 which survived the fire.

The location is now the aptly-named Phoenix Commons senior co-housing project.

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.
