How to Build a $200 Home Tiki Bar That Looks Like $2000
Bamboo, thrifted fishing floats, $12 torch light trick...
Read story βTikiTrunk bottles the wild joy of Polynesia, mid-century tiki bars and backyard luaus β and ships it to your door. Mugs, mixers, decor, playlists & secret recipes. Open. Pour. Aloha.

TikiTrunk started in 2016 as a single carved bar in Venice Beach β a trunk full of rum, thrifted mugs and grandpa's vinyl exotica records. Today we curate themed trunks, publish the Tiki Journal, and help 48,000+ home bartenders throw unforgettable tropical nights. No plastic leis clichΓ©. Real craft: fresh syrups, historic recipes, sustainable decor, and that low-lit, bamboo-and-neon glow.

We study original 1930s-60s tiki manuscripts, interview carvers and bartenders in Hawaii, Tahiti and California, then distill it into easy kits. Every trunk includes a story booklet: who invented the Zombie, why the Mai Tai matters, how to carve without cultural clichΓ©s β respectfully and joyfully.
Our promise: small-batch syrups with real passionfruit & orgeat, ceramic mugs from independent artists, reusable bamboo straws, and zero single-use plastic.
