The two figures are not part of tiki bars but I'll sneak them anyway. The Easter Island statue in Wheaton was originally used on a float for the Wheaton High School homecoming parade in the early 1990s. This photo is from 2004. The statue has since been relocated to a gas station in Kensington. For more, see this website.
The Easter Island statue in Waterbury stands next to the Timexpo, a Timex museum and store. It is about 40 feet tall. The museum has an exhibit about Easter Island inside. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. The Easter Island statue in New Berlin was built in the early 1980s. It is about 15 feet tall and made of chicken wire and concrete. The statue is located on private property. |

| Omni Hut Smyrna, TN |
Chan's Dragon Inn Ridgefield, NJ |
 |
 |
|
The Omni Hut is a Polynesian restaurant. It's illegal to buy liquor there but you can bring your own in. It opened in 1960 and much of the décor is original. A major fire in 2000 damaged much of the interior but they survived. For more, see this website.
Chan's Dragon Inn opened in 1962 and the interior is still all original. Chan's features Hawaiian music, a waterfall, outrigger canoes, lots of bamboo and Polynesian dishes. For more, see this website. |
| Lee's Hawaiian Islander Lyndhurst, NJ |

 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Lee's Hawaiian Islander has two locations, both built in 1974. The Lyndhurst location offers karaoke on Saturdays and hula shows on Sundays. The interior is lush and sincere.
The Clifton location suffered a major fire in 2003 and it seems unlikely that it will reopen. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |
| Waikiki Wally's New York, NY |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Waikiki Wally's opened in 2002 but it has an old-style tiki bar feel. They do not cheapen the place by mixing in retro elements, nor do they scrimp on décor either by just throwing up some bamboo and tiki statues. The small space is packed with tiki art and atmosphere. Wally's has an original mural, a waterfall, and bar dioramas. The owner has done his research and exhibits a true love for the style. There is also a small room for private parties. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |

| The Kon Tiki was built in 1963. It features lots of nice exterior decorations, including tikis and a mosaic tile pond (now empty). The interior is supposed to be incredible with rocks, bamboo-covered walls, bamboo chairs, and more tikis. The restaurant sell mugs, t-shirts, and Polynesian stuff. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. |
