Had the good fortune to visit the Aloha-Luau Lounge after the Berlin TIKI MODERN bash...GREAT little drinking hole! Tiny bar area at the rear, small art gallery at the front, HUGE potential all over!! We liked this place alot...the 'fine tiki drinks' where good too! When in Berlin...Barrel In!

All the Best for the future of the bar! - Trader Jim (You made mine a Mai-Tai(s)...MAHALO!).

If you ever come to Berlin - check this cozy little place out. It's much smaller than you'd expect but you get excellent service, plus the cocktails are great and very affordable. Thumbs up!

Gutten Aloha!

Just in Berlin for one night and wondered what was up now that Vics and the TT Room are both gone?

All missionary activities have proven to be fruitless, the Berlin Grunge primitives have refused the Call of Tiki, the city has sunk back into it's own art for art's sake bohemian ghetto....well x-ept, there WAS the Tiki show at Strychnin gallery in December!
AND the Rum Trader is still there! :D

JP, where are those photos!?

Persistence pays off! I scoured the block and found the place. Yahtzee! Yorn has just made me one his specialties the "Forgotten Treasure" which includes the Waitiki favorite rum "Old Monk". Photos to follow when I get back to the States next week.

aloha matt,
was a pleasure to have you at the aloha-luau!
its always great to have a nice tiki chat.

if you mean the remains of ttr, yeah,
but what have i to do with them?

Indeed, when all is said and done, the Aloha Luau is THE only remaining outpost fully dedicated to Tiki and pure Polynesian pop mixology in Berlin.

too bad. Berlin was my favorite city in Europe for tiki bars... Thanks god you are remaining. I really liked your bar when I visited for the Wassermusik fest.

I was at Aloha-luau recently and LOVED it. But even better is the very intimate Rum Trader at Fasanenstraße.. I know it's not a dedicated tiki bar regarding interior design, but the tropical drinks are great, and some of them are served in tiki mugs. I had Planter's Punch, Mai Tai and Fog Cutter, all of them were superb.

As promised a few photos from my visit:

Cool indeed!
So, what's the story behind this bar? We need more!
Aloha Germanic brothers!

yeah, its sad but true, due to massiv indifferences,
with the people i'd shared the room with,
i decided to close the aloha-luau on last saturday.

thanks to my loyal customers.
i'll be back-hope soon.

Tiki temples in Berlin: 0
:(

Oh no, very sad indeed. I have just booked a flight to Berlin in about a month and was looking forward to visiting your great bar again... oh well... please let us know if you open up somewhere else soon. :wink:

Magnus, I will be in Berlin all August and much of September, p.m. me if you wanna hoist one at the Rum Trader.

Thanks, I might do that!

I read something in Tiki Magazine about tiki bar seminars in London and Berlin with you and Beachbum Berry, do you have any more info on that? :)

donation completed!

Good news, I'd love to support you but since I live in Sweden I'm not sure how often I can visit... :) I'll have to think about it...

sven and moritz® and myself
met for a gathering at the "Quiet Village"to celebrate the
10th anniversary of BOT and the BOT-Mug from moritz.
of course we did this with the fine receipe from jeff,
which comes along with the mugs, the Tiki Reviver.

for photos of this great evening go here:

my pleasure sven,
