The Jasmine Tree

Portland, Oregon, United States

Open since at least the 1980s.

The Jasmine Tree was more of a Chinese restaurant than a tiki bar, but the bar area did have some very nice tikis. Notably, some of the tikis were from the Portland Kon-Tiki (which closed in 1980 or 1981), including three large cannibal tikis.

In February 2006 came reports that the Jasmine Tree would have to either close or relocate, due to an urban redevelopment plan. The Jasmine Tree had to be out of its location by the end of October 2006. In September 2006, the Jasmine Tree closed and its tiki-themed decor was sold to the owner of the Portland tiki bar Thatch, which opened in early 2007, and later became Hale Pele.
