There is no excuse for racism in any shape or form. We stand strong with the brave protesters on the front lines. ....... Posted @withregram • @tiki_zombie The outrage is real and not without reason. Let us use this fire not to destroy people nor property, but to burn down existing prejudices, policies, and procedures to ensure this never happens again.#blacklivesmatter #lovetorcheshate

Here's a #throwbackthursdaycocktail in honor of @danieledallapola , who just reopened his @esoticomiami restaurant this week. It's a throwback to @thehukilau 2017 and the Tiki Tower Takeover, which fell on a Thursday almost three years ago. Dalla Pola’s Nu Nui Nui was created at his @nuloungebar in Bologna, Italy, as a modern version of Don the Beachcomber’s Nui Nui. Recipe in the comments. #tiki #tikidrink #tikidrinks #tikicocktail #tikicocktails #homebar #hometikibar #hukilau #hukilau2017 #tikitowertakeover #donthebeachcomber #esoticomiami #oftd #rhumbarbancourt

@the_maikai_restaurant opens for socially distanced indoor and outdoor seating tomorrow night. And while we're happy to see the return of the Polynesian Islander Revue and @the_maikai_molokaibar happy hour, we're most looking forward to some one-of-a-kind, secluded dining and drinks. And don't forget the expansive menu of food and cocktails to-go.

Continuing with @thehukilau chronology for #tikimugmonday ... In 2011, I missed out on the 10th anniversary Tiki For 2 mug set by @kevinandjodyshow and Munktiki, but I snagged a pair of snifter glasses featuring Kevin's artwork, commissioned by @tikikiliki. I’ve put them to good use over the years, probably more than any other Hukilau glass. Program by @professortidbit. #tiki #tikimug #tikimugs #mugmonday #hukilau #tikiweekend #kevinkidney #hukilaumug

Some cool artifacts for #tikimugmonday ... The commemorative mug from @thehukilau 2010 (#65 of 300), designed and sculpted by Paul Nielsen of @munktiki, commissioned by @tikikiliki and inspired by the 45-year-old Papua New Guinea carving by Barney West that fell over in @the_maikai_restaurant gardens the year before. Official pendant carved by Tom Fowner and produced by Perry Drake. Program and flyer artwork by @nerdsquared. The memorable carving was installed at The Mai-Kai in April 1964 and fell in June 2009. King Kai by Will Anders now stands in that signature spot. #tiki #tikimug #tikimugs #mugmonday #hukilau #munktiki #tikiweekend #barneywest #munktiki #hukilaumug

It was awesome to enjoy @the_maikai_restaurant food at home with the new curbside pickup menu. I had two of my favorites: the Shanghai Chicken appetizer and Filet Tips dinner. Paired with a homemade Shark Bite featuring @therealmccoyrum Mai-Kai Blend. We also picked up Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon, Cantonese Shrimp, and more! There was even rain on the window like @the_maikai_molokaibar ... Okole maluna! #maikai #tiki #supporthospitality #supportsmallbusiness #polynesianrestaurant

An update on the @trader_brandon auctions. There’s a still time to bid ..... Posted @withregram • @trader_brandon I just wanted to give an update on these auctions as they approach their end. We have been forced to choose an eBay supported charity being that our description said that it was a fundraiser. While we are sad to have to change our auction, we have chosen to help "Doctors Without Borders" with these auctions in their fight against Covid-19. We will look into moving forward, but in the spirit of transparency, I wanted to make sure everyone was aware. You of course are welcome to retract your bid if this change effects you. Mahalo all. #tiki #tikiart #maikai
