Hey Tikiwahine, are you like the official historian or something?
Whats the old saying? You can't step into the same stream twice?
Or even better when I ask someone "have you heard this before? Yeah? Well it's worth repeating"

 So many cool interpretations of tiki! Great names and pictures! My Hulaville is a work in progress but a labor of true luv. Here's what some of it looks like tonight. Lots of work left to be done, I have BIG plans for a lava wall behind the bar and turning my bay window into a little sofa type thing with barkcloth that matches the sofa in the room. Still lost about what to do with my ceiling. Need more bamboo,lauhala matting and thatching, thatching, thatching! I'm working on the lighting issues. Notice I have painted the walls green as a homage to my Tiki Central! Don't laugh!!!

Cool space,Dawntiki! Did your mug shelf come from "Pad Parties"? I've seen that design,and think it's great.

The Aloha Tiki Lounge is located in a loft apartment building a few blocks away from the heart of Nashville. It has 12 ft ceilings and floor to ceiling windows (perfect view of downtown skyline), stained concrete floors and beams, with all kinds of exposed pipes and an ac unit that lines the ceiling. Phunky and groovy!
It is a mix of modern and vintage furniture, tikis, hawaiiana, music, lounge, stainless steel, funky lighting and some other things to amuse myself and others. Right on!
It is constantly evolving with each good day of thrift/vintage shop hunting, it's rarely the same place twice and I dig that man. It is a modern tiki lounge with an old school vibe.
The rules are simple you can drink what ya want (beer, wine, mai tai's, jager bombs, patron, etc.),listen to whatever music you feel like at the time (reggae, rockabilly, hawaiian, swing, etc), and just go with the flow, its laid back and feels real good.
I need to break down and buy a digital camera! It has more character than the Star Wars bar.........

We are in the early phases of basement destruction/construction right now, but hope to be finished by September! The bar name? King Slod's Babu Room! When our daughter was a baby, she called breasts "babu" when she was thirtsy. The runner-up name was "King Slod's Sunken Palace."

bananabobs, I did NOT post that there.
Tiki Toa started a new thread about naming your tiki bar in the creating tiki area, that was my message to him letting him know about this thread. It was deleted and for some reason my post was moved here. Without me knowing.
I already posted about my home bar on the second page of this thread.
Sorry for any confusion!

I still haven't named my bar but I am leaning toward "THE BAMBOOZLED ROOM" nor something along those lines.

Luana Lounge.
We looked up the word "relax" in hawaiian and luana came up. It fits the feel we were going for perfectly. (will post pics soon)
