Tiki Central / General Tiki

Tiki in Germany - Is this list complete?

Pages: 1 8 replies

I have a tiki-loving friend, Eric, coming home from a National Guard stint in Iraq (aka "The Sandy Place" in his emails, since he can't say the real name!). He's treating himself to some time in Germany on his way home, and wants some tiki fun (and cocktails). He's not planning on being in Bavaria, but getting a complete list on here isn't a bad idea anyway.
Can y'all help me steer this tiki loving soldier to Deutschland tiki?

Culled from TRT and fron "Locating Tiki" on Tiki Central:

Duesseldorf, Hamburg and Munich all have Trader Vic's.
Munich also has the restaurant Waikiki, started by a Trader Vic's waiter.
Hamburg also has a great anthropology museum with things like an entire Maori meeting house.
Nurnberg (I can't put the umlaut in!) has the Kon Tiki Restaurant, always crowded. Reservations may be required.
Boeblingen (small town near Stuttgart) has the Waikiki
Zoelenroda (huh?) has a big indoor spa (wave machines, etc.) and 3 tiki restaurants.
Warnemuende, a Baltic seaside spa town, has Samoa, which sounds like a smaller version of Zoelenroda's tiki spa.
Berlin has the store Rock-a-Tiki and the Tabou Tiki Room.
Frankfurt's museum has a big Maori exhibit, maybe still going. Suburb town of Sachsenhausen has a pub with a tiki theme exterior. Interior unknown.
Augsburg (in Bavaria) has Haifischbar (im Schwarzen Ross).

Any more?

RUM TRADER IN BERLIN, FINE LIBATIONS, BUT TINY, NON-TIKI DECORATED PLACE

...all in all, Tiki is unknown in Germany except to a small hipster crowd, and the Trader Vic's Hotel franchises. Not really the country to go for Tiki, I'm afraid. I go there for WORK. :)

Nothing like the collective genius of TC!
Thanks for the updates, amigos :)

NUERNBERG

kontiki is a place with a long tradition - since 1978 !

about 2 years ago there was a big fire in the kontiki
and half of the place burnt down.
now its open again and still/again going strong (always
crowded):

BERLIN

very sad that the nice rock-a-tiki-store closed at the beginning of 2007.
it was not a real tiki-place, more rockabilly etc ...

For any German locations, it is always good to check Tiki Europe.com:

Try using the symbol codes, they are useful for all types of foreign letters and other symbols we don't normally have on the keyboard. Hold the alt key and just type the four number code on the keypad.
Here is a listing of them all 256 Symbol codes

Currency symbols: € = 0128, Ÿ = 0159, ¢ = 0162 or £ = 0163.
Trademark symbols: ™ = 0153, © = 0169 and ® = 0174.

Just type "N Alt+0252 rnberg" and it will come up as Nürnberg.
