City:Edmonton, Alberta
State:
Zip:
country:Canada
Phone:
Status:defunct

Description:
Opened in the fall of 1970, closed sometime around 1989. Here's a newpaper ad from 1970.

and one from 1972 (next to an ad for The Beachcomber).

(did you spot the typo?)

Nightly performances at 9:00 and 11:30 (except Sundays) featuring such entertainers as Leilani Kim and the Tiki Trio, and Prince Tafili and His Royal Samoans.

I was aware of this place but not yet into tiki when it was around, dammit. I have a vague recollection of it being kind of sleazy toward the end, maybe even a stripper bar (but I could be wrong).

There was a Tiki Tiki in Calgary as well, and maybe in some other western Canadian cities?

Swizzle

I have two of these mugs from local thrift stores but I have no idea if they come from this restaurant.

Today the location is a gay bar.
