Ever dream about the perfect tiki lounge?

About the way you’d want it to feel? How it would look?

What kind of drinks would it have?

Would you dream about….

-An interior designed by Bamboo Ben in a classic yet totally unique style?

-A signature Tiki designed by Danny “Tiki Diablo” Gallardo?

-Custom mugs designed by Tiki Diablo and produced by Tiki Farm?

-A lush tropical lanai designed by Jungle Trader?

-A jukebox full of classic Hawaiian, lounge, and exotica music?

-An extensive menu of tropical libations designed by martiki, incorporating both classic tropical drinks and contemporary mixology, perfectly balanced and using only fresh squeezed seasonal juices and premium ingredients?

-Custom graphics and goodies featuring the designs of Chongolio, Hanford Lemoore, Humuhumu and more?

-The creative and artistic contributions of dozens of other members of Tiki Central to give it the true ohana feeling?

Wake up. You’re not dreaming.

It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to:
