Tiki's @ the Aston Waiki Beach Hotel is an incredible tiki bar/restaurant, all the moreso because it has view of Waikiki Beach framed by tiki torches and coconut palms swaying in the tradewinds.

The bar scene is happening, although disappointingly I'm not sure everyone properly appreciates the tiki theme, although it is spreading the gospel - I saw numerous patrons walking down Ala Moana with their souvenir cocunut mugs from Tiki's.

I'm with Dogbytes - the cuisine is delicious!

Tikis abound as do Shag prints and even Gecko has an Easter Island inspired carving on the outside wall.

Tiki's has two 8-1/2 foot tiki at the entrance, eight tiki on the back walls of the dining room, a 3-1/2 foot tiki head named “Hibiscus Tiki” in the bar area, and a 6-1/2 foot, one-of-a-kind hula tiki in the central dining area.

Tiki’s also has palm wood flooring, fish nets hanging from the ceiling with starfish and shells, glass balls, plus 50 hand-carved masks, statues and war clubs from different regions around the Pacific.
