A luau party just isn't complete without tropical Hawaiian barware and accessories. Let us help you stock and create a Tiki bar for your luau party with our selection of Tiki mugs, coconut cups, bamboo cups, bamboo bar signs, drink umbrellas and more.
The perfect Hawaiian Tiki bar is at your fingertips. The first thing you'll need of course is a Tiki! Choose from a variety of Tiki statues and place them around the Tiki bar area. Tea Leaves and loose flowers also make wonderful accents along the bar. Stock your Tiki bar with fun Tiki mugs or hula girl mugs complete with cocktail drink umbrellas, backscratchers for that tropical itch and a tropical orchid or tea leaf. Keep them thirsty by putting out some salty snacks in a coconut cup or wooden bowl. Don't have a bar area in your home? Create one! Simply cover an existing table with a Hawaiian sarong or some of our tapa paper. Hang lauhala mats in the background.

Tiki Bar in America

The rise of the Tiki bar in America started quietly in 1934 when a New Orleanian named Ernest Beaumont Gante opened a small bar in Hollywood and started making rum drinks. Ernest later changed his name to Donn Beach, the name of the bar was Don the Beachcomber and the Tiki bar was born. Donn created a Polynesian paradise with tropical plants, Tiki mugs, bamboo, lauhala and leis. The beachcomber style that Donn created would become embedded in American pop culture, but Donn would lose the rights to the company he created.

Conclusion

Another great American ambassador of Tiki bar is Victor Bergeron, or Trader Vic. Vic explored Polynesian and Asian foods for his menus. Vic was also an early champion of Mexican food in America. Vic was extremely successful and opened locations all over the U.S. and other exotic locations when the Polynesian boom of the 50's occurred. Other note able Tiki bars are Bali Hai of San Diego, Mai Kai of Ft. Lauderdale, Kona Kai of Philadelphia and Kahiki of Columbus, Ohio. Tiki mugs, cups, matchbooks, menus and decor from tiki bars have become quite collectable. There were hundreds of Tiki themed bars in America through the 50's and 60's, most of which had completely vanished by the mid 70's. Most Tiki bars had their own logo on Tiki mugs, matchbooks and more so look out for vintage tike stuff at flea markets and thrift stores.
