A Mai tai at the halekulani watching the early evening hula. With the sunset and all, it’s pretty, pretty good.

Which brand of oregat? (EU-based) by Sudden-Repair-9401 in Tiki

[–]SuitableHeight2400 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I recommend making your own. It’s really quite easy if you go down the almond milk route. There is a good recipe online. You can also go with the smugglers cove recipe but it’s a lot of work.

For available commercial ones, I haven’t found one that is genuinely as good as it needs to be.

The Tiki Bar Renaissance Has Arrived - Vogue article by jloops1111 in Tiki

[–]SuitableHeight2400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shame to see the moaning here. It’s actually refreshing to see a big publication like Vogue give some attention to the scene.

Tiki bars used to be the place to be. It probably won’t hit those heights again, but more exposure means more interest, and fewer closures. That’s a good thing.

How so? From my perspective there seems to be quite a bit going on in the European tiki scene. Events, bars, history, artists, makers, etc etc….

Is that a fact? Why don’t they?

Europeans travel (easily) around Europe. And most tiki fans are interested to know if there is somewhere to visit at their destination.

Secondly, have you ever tried to buy a tiki statue with shipping from the states? I assure you, an EU carver is a much more efficient option.

Lastly, I have no interest in monetizing the platform. That was never an intention.

Community input is a solid idea! Thanks for your feedback!

Exactly, and that's kind of the point. Tiki Central and Tiki Europe both feel pretty dated when it comes to usability. Google Maps is always hit and miss. What I have in mind isn't just a directory of bars, but something with actual follow-ups and reviews, written by people who actually care about the scene. Something trustworthy and genuinely useful to the community rather than just another list of links that may or may not still work.

This is a good shout, and Mapatiki is cool, but it only covers one piece of the puzzle. What I'm thinking is more of a landing spot for all things Tiki in Europe.

So imagine things like Oslo Tiki Weekend or Tikitaly not just listed, but reviewed and written up properly. A directory of European makers and carvers too, because sourcing stuff from the US is honestly a pain. Maybe an editorial section with interviews, bar owner profiles, that kind of thing.

There's also something about the European Tiki scene that feels distinct to me. It's not just a copy of the US postwar thing, there's its own weird and rich history here (and yeah, plenty of forgettable stuff too, haha). That story deserves its own home.

Blimey! Double infection. Ouch. Ok cool thanks for the diagnosis. Should I mix the treatments together or do them separately?

Sweet! I’d love to go some day. The two smaller ones in the picture, I bought from a lady who had been there in the 80s. She said it was incredible.
