The "Tiki revival" refers to a cultural resurgence of interest in Tiki-themed bars, restaurants, and decor that began in the late 20th century and gained momentum in the 21st century. This movement celebrates the mid-20th century Polynesian pop culture, characterized by tropical cocktails, bamboo furnishings, and vibrant artwork inspired by the South Pacific. This revival has led to the reopening of classic Tiki bars and the creation of new establishments, often featuring elaborate cocktails and themed events. Enthusiasts often collect Tiki mugs, Hawaiian shirts, and Tiki carvings, contributing to a growing community that appreciates this unique blend of nostalgia and escapism.
