Taboo Tiki's Bars can be 100% custom or you can choose from our designs.
Our Bars are made from cedar construction to keep with our West coast lifestyle and feature laminated pine counter tops. Anything can be added to our bars to accessorize it and make it your own custom piece that suits you.

Some accessories we offer are glass holders, bottle racks, drawers, baskets, lighting, 120 Volt power, cabinet doors and just about anything else you can think of. Our Bars always come with a hand carved mask by Reido and you can also get carved base moldings, corner molding posts and just about anything else that can be carved!

You might be asking, well what about pricing, because our bars are mostly made to order and can be 100% custom, prices will vary. I can say that our Bars sell for $800 and up depending on what you want or what has been done to the bar. The deluxe Bars that we offer, which feature alot of the accessories or carvings, go for about $1,000 and up. Good pricing when you figure these are completely hand made and they are each an individual piece of art. Plus, our Bars are not like anything else out there and we stand behind what we make a 100%!

A few of the pictures below and info. can be seen on our website but I wanted to show a few here as well.
Our very first exterior Bar:

The Bar below was on display at Art Knapp's Nursery, one of our retailers, where we had a large display of our products for several years. In this shot you can also see one of our matching shelf display cabinets complete with matching fabric, sea grass roof, bamboo and sliding glass doors.

This next Bar style (picture from our website) is one of our more popular designs here as it caters to the customers with smaller spaces that maybe want a Bar but don't have a lot of room. This picture shows a few different options that we offer showing two bars with two different backs.

The next Bar is one of our Deluxe models due to it's side angles, furniture legs, under counter rope lighting with switch and outlet (perfect for your blender!), and detailed and functional backside.

The next bar was one we did for The Festival Polynesia Dance Competition put on by The Paul Tavai Latta Dance Co. and The Tiki Art Now Show that was held in Seattle, Wa. This Bar was the first one that we displayed at a specific Tiki Event so we were a little nervous but we got alot of positive feedback for it.
We even received a "That's a nice bar!" from Shag who was at the event!!
This bar never made it back to Canada as it was sold to somebody who was at the Show. A little bit of Canadian Tiki down in the States....nice!

Here is a picture of the Bar at the Tiki Art Now Show:

A client's direct custom ordered Deluxe Interior Bar with roof (Picture from Site):

The following Bar was made specifically for the Lost Paradise Show that was held at the Waldorf Hotel in 07'. It was the first specifically Tiki Event that has happened here and was at such a great venue. The event was spread out throughout the different rooms and we were set up in the Tahitian Lounge upstairs. You could not wish to vend at a better location!! One of the last greatest original Tiki establishments, I believe, in North America!!

This Bar was a good design that featured a cool Bamboo footrest, rare spotted Bamboo (I was told this was natural but think they actually do this to the bamboo before they seal it) moldings and a cool Marqesian styled mask. It also featured power and plenty of accessories and space to store all the goodies!

The next picture (From Website) is of a little cabinet thing we did a few years ago. We call it the Bar-B-Q Tiki Stand. This cool little guy was specifically made with the small patio owners in mind.
A lot of people in cities are not allowed to have full size barbecue's on their patios or decks and that's where this guy comes in. This stand features solid cedar construction, Ocean Blue Ceramic Counter top with Cedar Trim, Bamboo covered front and sides, small Shelf and a couple of Bamboo Hooks for your Luau tools! This model also features a original hand carved 'Devil' Tiki Mask.
Kind of a cool piece you can just throw your little barbecue on and get some cooking done and still keep some Tiki decor on your deck!

Thanks for looking!!! TabooDan
