Don’t miss this! .......... Posted @withregram • @trader_brandon Why not another announcement!? Join me Monday when my special guest is none other than @tikitony !! He'll be showing us around the shack, we'll see what he's currently creating, and maybe even answer the timeless question, what's it like being a Dad of Disneyland! 😂 #Tiki #tikimug #tikimugs #tikitony #traderbrandon #tradersams #tradersamsenchantedtikibar #tradersamsgroggrotto

Happy anniversary to @tikiunderground - great to see you’re making the best of a bad situation... Keep the faith! ........ Posted @withregram • @tikiunderground Today was going to be our epic third anniversary celebration that we’ve been planning all year with 4 musical acts and a cool Eekum Bookum mug release and new tiki cocktails featuring our sponsors Western Reserve Distillers and Pusser’s Rum. Most of all it was our chance to see our ohana all together, which is the reason we opened this joint. We want everyone to be safe and healthy but damnit we’re bummed that we can’t see you today. We will go live from our home bar at 5pm to say aloha and hope you will join us in a virtual toast. Our celebration is currently rescheduled for September 19, and we will have some surprises for you. To support both Eekum Bookum and us, we’re releasing more of our third anniversary tiki mugs in our cool online store, which will start shipping by the end of the month. We will be in touch with a safe option for pick up, or we’re happy to hold them until we re-open. MAHALO OHANA!!! tiki-underground.myshopify.com - TU #tikiunderground #tiki #tikiohio #tikibar #tikicocktails #tuthirdanniversary #eekumbookum #tikimugs #tikiartist #akronbars #akron

The creative folks over at @hiddenharborpgh are selling Black Magic tall boys to go! Just add rum. Now that’s making the best of a bad situation. Okole maluna! ...... Posted @withregram • @hiddenharborpgh Friends: our “Tiki To-Go” operation is in full swing, based out of our next-door sister spot @independentpgh. We’re selling “just-add-rum” mocktails in both individual portions and in 32 oz. crowler cans that serve four (just add long straws!), along with select tropical food dishes and *tons* of killer food and beer options from the Independent and @loreleipgh menus. Head over to the Independent’s website, linked in our bio, for full menus and to ORDER ONLINE. Lunch service starts today! Open and serving (takeout-only, to be clear) from 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. every day until further notice.

Also: we just added our last ten (literally) menus to our web store, in special sets that include feature matchbooks and swizzles, along with sets of snifter glasses, which have never before been offered for sale online. We’ve got more merch coming, including some new and special items in the next couple days. We’ll also be sharing soon how you can directly help our staff during this time, including through some special fundraiser items. Mahalo, all, and stay tuned! #tiki #tikibar #tikibars #tikicocktails #tikicocktail #tikidrinks #tikidrink

What are you waiting for? Go to RebirthOfTiki.com and pick up the amazing documentary on the legendary Bosko. Learn how it all started. .... Posted @withregram • @markryden I met Bosko in 1979 when I was 16 years old. We quickly became the best of friends and 40+ years later, we still are. We were roommates at Art Center College of Design in the mid 1980s when we discovered a passion for the exotica inspired mid century phenomenon of “Tiki”. Bosko went on to make a career of it. He was the first artist to revive the art of carving tiki statues and sculpting ceramic tiki mugs. We never imagined that Polynesian Pop would go on to experience the revival it has seen the past 25 years. This is in no small part to Bosko’s unique and exciting work.
A really great new documentary on Bosko’s work and the revival of tiki is available at https://rebirthoftiki.com. @tikibosko @rebirthoftiki @artcenteredu @artcenter_alumnetwork #Tiki 🗿🌋🏝🍹
