Burnt Ends Tiki Bar is possibly the newest Tiki bar in Florida. It is a speakeasy-style offshoot of a pre-existing business – Dr. BBQ in Saint Petersburg, Florida – and so, this is effectively a two-part review, the first part of which is not tiki.

Home Tiki Bar Spotlight #87 The Hatches – Seattle WA
Batten Down The Hatches!
Welcome to The Hatches. It’s Ken Herold’s home tiki bar located in the Seattle neighborhood of Leschi, which is only a couple minutes away from my home, so I didn’t have to travel far to visit this awesome bar. The Hatches combines elements of tiki and nautical, and Ken did a great job of mixing the two together. Speaking of mixing, Ken can make a perfect Mai Tai and a Three Dot And A Dash! Here is Ken’s story on how The Hatches came to be …

Tiki VIP #46 THtikis – Tracy Helber (Tiki Mug Maker)
Tracy Helber has only been selling mugs since the beginning of 2020 and I think the future is looking bright for THtikis. There are some amazing mugs out there being made, although these mugs look especially amazing, sometimes you really have to ask yourself, how do I actually drink out of this!?! Mugs from THtikis are made to do what you’re supposed to do with a tiki mug … Drink out of it! And the mugs have a really cool style that is truly unique.

Home Tiki Bar Spotlight #85 Enchanted Klinki Room – Las Vegas NV
What do you do when Billy Crud carves you a six-foot tall tiki?
You build a home tiki bar to put it in!
Angela and Michael’s Enchanted Klinki Room is not a spelling error! It’s a play on their last name Klingenmeier also, Angela has been a fan of Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room since she was a kid, so I’d say Enchanted Klinki Room is the perfect name for their home bar. Not only did Billy Crud carve the first tiki for Angela and Michael, but he helped with the build of the tiki bar itself and the end result shows, the Enchanted Klinki Room is incredible! Here is Angela and Klink’s story …

Home Tiki Bar Spotlight #83 The Hala Kahiki Hideaway – Orlando FL
I don’t know too many people that grow pineapples in their backyard but Scott Deeter does and it’s one of many inspirations for his home tiki bar. It’s called The Hala Kahiki Hideaway and it has a Disney, Trader Sam’s, Polynesian Village vibe. Hey, Scott and Kim (Scott’s partner-in-crime) live in Orlando, so there has to be some Disney influence, right! Here is Scott’s story of The Hala Kahiki Hideaway …
