I have no right to expound on favourite Tiki bars since my experience isn't broad. But outside of Disney-related ones, my favourite that I've been to is the Sip n' Dip in Great Falls, Montana. If you're ever doing a road trip of America's national parks, I would recommend staying overnight at the O'Haire Motor Inn, location of the Sip n' Dip, between Yellowstone and Glacier (yeah, you COULD do that drive in one day, but the Sip n' Dip is worth splitting it up and gives you time to check out some museums and tourist traps between them).

It appeals both to my love for fantasy and the idiosyncratic. The place's big claims to fame are Piano Pat playing the organ and the mermaid shows. Mermaids are the running theme of the Sip n' Dip, and its charming to see live ones swimming in the pool behind the bar. The idiosyncratic part comes in by having to look overtop cowboy hats to see them. It's a mermaid-themed dive bar in the middle of Monatana, for crying out loud! The staff at the O'Haire is great as well, and they leave complimentary rubber duckies in the rooms as a kind of business card.

The signature drink is the fishbowl, which we had and it was decent.
