Step inside one of the most iconic home tiki bars ever created, built by Alan Smart and Michael Uhlenkott. This legendary space helped define the modern tiki era and became one of the most photographed private bars in the world.
Alan, a former director on The Simpsons and SpongeBob SquarePants, brings a sharp visual storytelling sensibility to the space, while Michael’s background in graphic design helps shape the bar’s cohesive look and atmosphere. What started as a passion project turned into a blueprint for an entire movement, inspiring collectors, builders, and cocktail enthusiasts everywhere.
In this episode, we take a closer look at the craftsmanship, the history, and the details that made this bar stand out. From hand carved elements to the immersive environment that captures the spirit of classic Polynesian pop, this is more than just a home bar, it is a piece of tiki history.
If you have ever dreamed of building your own tiki space, this is the one that set the standard.
