Drinks served at a Tiki Bar come in fancy ceramic cups called “Tiki Mugs” that is often decorated with flowers or cocktail umbrellas.
People who are looking for a suitable business can follow these easy steps on home tiki bar. Places with many people is a suitable place for the location of the old or sturdy bar which is the first step. The next step is to decide the basic shape and the design patterns for the Tiki Hut. Before framing the hut, make sure there is room to put up for the sink and the refrigerator. Be sure to buy bar stools ahead of time in order to adjust the tabletop height correspondingly. After doing these things, you are now ready for the next step of framing and building your Tiki Hut.
The tabletop that will be used in your Tiki Bar is the thing that is needed to be personalized. The tabletop is sure to be present given that the place was or is still currently being used as a bar. Bamboo poles will be put into the holes that will be made in each corner of the tabletop. Sealing tape, clamps or cable ties that can be found in any hardware store must be used to secure each of the poles into the tabletop. These poles will serve as the foundation for the roof and secure it. Prepare a plywood sheet with the Tiki motif, which will serve as the roof of the hut. Nail the plywood to the poles and fasten it with sealing tape then attach thatching which can be palm leaves or other tree leaves to it. Now you have the table and the roof, and the only thing missing now is the proper lighting which will create the perfect Tiki ambience.
To have the Tiki effect upon the bar, bamboo torches are the most suitable to use for lighting it. Almost hardware and convenience stores sell these Bamboo Torches. Use wire and wrap it around the bamboo poles and use screws and glue to secure it. Use tropical lanterns as lighting for the tabletop for the added Tiki ambience. In order to imitate the traditional teak woods of original Tiki Bars, do not forget to use at least three coasts of dark brown water resistant stain in all of the bamboo poles. Add more decorations like a drape of bamboo mat, a bamboo screen and some tropical flowers and get ready to serve authentic Tiki drinks to complete your own Tiki Bar.
