Polynesian-themed bars were once incredibly popular but they fell out of favor in the ‘80s. Now they’re in the middle of a revival.

Trader Sam’s

The Disney theme parks helped further bring Polynesian culture to America with the Enchanted Tiki Room, a long-running attraction that features animatronic idols and chattering robotic birds. Disneyland and Disney World are also home to a pair of elaborate tiki bars called Trader Sam’s. Named for an Amazonian salesman featured in the popular Jungle Cruise ride, the bars offer drinks with names like “Shipwreck on the Rocks” and “The Shrunken Zombie Head.” Ordering certain cocktails will cause the bar to explode into a cacophony of crazy sound and visual effects that include a mechanical octopus that “pours” bottles of rum (Florida only). The Disneyland location also has two “trick” bar stools that can be sneakily raised and lowered.

Hale Pele

If a customer walks in to this Portland tiki bar and orders a “Volcano Bowl,” which is served in an ornate goblet, the bar’s sound system plays a recording of a mountain blowing its top. While steam floods into the room, one of Hale Pele’s bartenders sprinkles cinnamon on the flaming drink, causing it to erupt into a pillar of flames. Appropriately named for the Hawaiian fire goddess, the bar also boasts a small lagoon, some impressive tiki, statues and a collection of black velvet paintings.

The Sip ‘n Dip Lounge

“Big Sky Country” is more closely associated with cowboys than Polynesia but Great Falls, Montana, is home to one of the biggest tiki bars in North America. Its best known feature includes a swimming pool with an underwater window behind the bar that often hosts “live” mermaids. (Daryl Hannah, who played one in Splash, once visited the bar, put on a mermaid tail, and went for a swim.) The Sip ‘n Dip first opened its doors in 1962 and has since landed on GQ’s annual list of the best ten bars in the country.
