How To Build a Tiki Bar (Mahiki Build)

Aloha,
This is the start of a 4 week blog series of the Mahiki Build...

Weeks 1 and 2 we trashed the place, filled 6 skips up with bad 80's club furniture, mirrors and rubble...Surprisingly many businessmen sifted through the skips retrieving the lovely purple fake ostrich skin sofas...That's Mayfair for you...

The destruction part of the build was definitely the most fun and we left every day totally filthy...
Here's some pics of what Mahiki look liked at the beginning of its transformation...

The Launch of the Mai Tai Canoe

Aloha,
Last week saw the official launch of the Mai Tai canoe at Trader Vics, the Hilton London...
Carved and created by Jamie at CheekyTiki, with a little help from Patrick, Trader Vics Manager...
This giant drinking vessel had a lot of love coming into creation and I imagine a lot more in the months and years to come, full of Mai Tai's, Zombies, you name it, you can fill it.... 10 gallons in total...





Look forward to drinking from the Mai Tai Canoe at next years London Luau

Humu Kon Tiki:
This new venture, called Mahiki, is sure to be lovely, given the fantastic talents of the people behind Cheekytiki.

Tiki Central:
As a very fortunate eye witness to these happenings, I can affirm that everyone at Cheekytiki deserves a lot of credit and recognition! It will definitely be a tiki landmark on this side of the pond!

(from another thread on) Tiki Central:
wooohooo

Tiki Talk:
[CheekyTiki] did amazing work on the Black Pearl Boutique, so the bar is sure to come out smashingly.

Le bar est situé dans le quartier chic de Mayfair, en face du Ritz.

Tiki Quest
Collecting the Exotic Past

by Duke Carter

Tiki Quest: Collecting the Exotic Past is the latest book offering for Tiki fanatics. Many discover the mysterious wonders of the world of Tiki through some small cast-off relic. Maybe it's a Tiki mug with the name of a now-closed restaurant, perhaps a souvenir statue from Hawaii. But whatever the inspiration, Tiki has captivated the imagination once again.

Tiki Quest author Duke Carter has been collecting Tiki with his wife Amy for nearly a decade, and they knew from early on that the Tiki collection was more than just a hobby or casual interest... the passion and fervor that they felt about Tiki drove their Quest.

The Carter's Tiki collection boasts thousands of items and has been featured in the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune, and on HGTV's Extreme Homes.

Click here to purchase your own copy of Tiki Quest: Collecting the Exotic Past for only £25 and to see the other Tiki books and magazines we offer.

Cool kid at the Tattoo Convention

We met this fellow - who wins our vote for the coolest five-year old in the UK - on Sunday at the Tattoo Convention.

Here he is wearing one of our Ku tiki necklaces, which he happily purchased with his own money from his very cool punk rock Misfits wallet.
