Tiki-ness on Kauai? - General Tiki

So my question is, is there anything particularly "tiki" I should look for there? I love the islands and have been going for years, but am not into the shows and luaus and such. Any tips about hidden bars, cool thrift shops or the like would be welcome. I've been to Duke's (nice atmo, but too many tvs) and to the sacred hulau platform at Ke'e (genuinely kapu and not even walked upon by natives), and dozens of other places. Something new and undiscovered would be a treat. Mahalo! Tiki-bot
