There's a large Tiki in front of Hawaiian Camera on Palani road (center of town). There is a psuedo tiki bar at Jackie Reys in Pottery Terrace ( Great food- nice people-Out of town on Kuakini Highway about five or eight minutes.) I believe there was another small (again psuedo) Tiki bar on the grounds of the Kona Gardens (resort?)in Keauhou. Also in front of the King Kamehameha Hotel is the Ahuena Heiau- essentially the center of the (ancient) Hawaiian kingdom. There are some tikis out there also, as well as the Hale Lono (a reconstructed temple up on the heiau). I'm pretty sure there has to be a tiki bar up in Kohala (north of Kona) on one of the resorts. I have a good friend who works at the bamboo products warehouse here in town (he's known as Tiki J to anyone who knows him well- named thus because he makes tiki lamps. You can catch those at his work- Bamboo Too in the old industrial directly North of Palani road in town. They're on the net but I don't think the lamps are.) I will get back to you with locations of any tiki bars on the Kona side. Aloha- TLH
