Greatest Hits

This is a selection of favorite writings from the now-defunct TBRP,
which was very active from 1995 to 2003, and sort of half-active from 2003 to 2007.
Now it is gone.

The site was replaced by the book Tiki Road Trip in 2003,
-  the second edition of which (2007) is available NOW.

This is an archive - these pages are no longer updated!
Some information will be out of date. 
Some of this writing goes back to 1995.
See Tiki Road Trip (2007 edition) for the most up-to-date information.

TBRP Web Site History                Tiki Links        

The following was once a comprehensive list of all known Tiki Bars, Polynesian restaurants, and other sources of entertainment for fans of Polynesan Pop.
It was later divided into 'open' and 'closed' sections.
It is now simply an archive of selected (probably out of date) writings on both open and closed locations, and is maintained here for your entertainment.
