 | Top Ten Tiki Bars [ Edit ] Site Reviews (1) A tiki is, by definition, a likeness of a Polynesian god, usually carved in wood or stone. Polynesia represented mystery and exuded exotic allure to mainstream America in the mid-20th century. The country was recovering from war and looking for a bright and happy escape.
