A Tiki Bar is a themed bar that serves tropical cocktails and features decor inspired by Polynesian culture. These establishments often include bamboo furniture, tiki carvings, and vibrant colors, creating a relaxed, island-like atmosphere. Popular drinks include rum-based cocktails like the Mai Tai and Zombie, often garnished with fruit and paper umbrellas. Tiki Bars originated in the United States in the mid-20th century, influenced by the post-World War II fascination with the South Pacific. They became cultural hotspots, promoting a sense of escapism through their exotic themes and lively music, often featuring Hawaiian or surf rock tunes.
