6 year project
I’ve been working on this project since the COVID lockdowns, and after keeping it private for years I finally decided it was time to launch it.
I hope this doesn’t break any community rules. I’m not here to promote a business or sell anything. I’m genuinely looking for feedback from people who care about tiki.
Right now the site includes drink recipes, tiki bars, events, and a blog, but this is really just the beginning. One of my long-term goals is to build out the history behind tiki, including the artists, carvers, and the evolution of the style that has always been the backbone of the culture.
It’s very much day one. There are undoubtedly bugs, missing information, and things that can be improved. I even took the risk of enabling comments because I think conversation and community are more valuable than trying to make everything perfect before anyone sees it.
If you have a few minutes to look around, I’d really appreciate any honest feedback. If you spot an error, know of a bar, event, or recipe I’ve missed, or have ideas for features you’d like to see, I’d love to hear them.
Thanks for taking a look, and I hope you find something useful.
