I Built A Tiki Bar In My Backyard

The first tour of my home bar happened right at the beginning of creating the cocktail show. Since that video, my buddy and I built a gigantic a-frame in classic tiki style as well as moved a bunch of stuff around inside the bar.

You didn't build a bar, you built an experience! Excellent work!

[@joesobaski1966]

The best home bar I’ve seen, by a long shot. Starting a build, much smaller different theme, but this is so inspirational.

[@pixiedustcrafter]

Great episode! Would love some tutorials on how you made all those awesome elements in your tiki bar!

[@tubemcdowell]

This tiki bar is MAGNIFICENT. I’m in awe. Every square inch is meticulously crafted or curated. I can’t imagine how much time that all took. But I salute you, sir.

[@daledulski5176]

Spike, I would like to thank you for helping me get through Covid. My partner and I are big cruisers and during covid we couldn't travel to our favorite Caribbean islands. You inspired me to put together a Rhum Bar and taught me how to make fresh and authentic tropical drinks we were craving. You really got us through that difficult time. We've since moved and built the Mai Tai Lanai. I ordered your swizzle sticks today. What a fantastic idea to have them sit on the rim of the glass! We appreciate you more than you know!

[@melodystover4246]

Love to see a tour of your yard in daylight and at night. I'm inspired by your creations working on a tiki bar in my backyard and would love to see more of your space thanks so much for your great videos!!🧜

[@wesleyrussell8386]

I never realized how much you were into the carving and stuff! All the things you pointed out as you having made it, were amazing! I'd love to see you make some videos about carving etc! Also impressed how you were able to identify all the cultures the different pieces came from or were inspired by!

[@Ryanstuff]

This place is amazing. It's the kind of thing a company could never replicate. Has to be born out of one person's love & creativity... Plus two dashes of crazy and a spritz of weird.

[@nickmorton8998]

I love the new open A-frame roof!! It looks so cool. Good thing you hung all those lamps and made the old one fall down.😛

[@codyburns4393]

This is why I have respect for you. Your attention to detail and history. Plus your collection is something to brag about. When I seen the photoshop pic of the a-frame, I questioned it. But seeing the end result is mind blowing. Bravo.

[@kimsmith1675]

🤩😍 Loved the tour, Spike! I would love to see some how to videos on tiki lamp creating and carving tiki and trim!🗿🤙

[@TheGuermoEnfuego]

So cool to see The Breezeway up close like this! Amazing work, man. You asked for us to leave a comment if we'd like to see a video on how you made the lagoon. Not only would I love to see that, I'd also love to see videos on how you made other stuff in there as well. The lamps in particular, those look fantastic!

[@jfretless]

What, if anything, can be seen from the street? I'm trying to get the orientation and house the breezeway sits in relation to your house and detached garage. I'm assuming it's a detached garage as I'm in California, so it I'm thinking typical mid century house plan.

[@michaelburke5907]

Pretty damn cool! I love tiki bars, my fave in Seattle was the Fabulous Palm Room.

[@RighteousReverendDynamite]

Excellent job well done! Aloha! It looks like what a real castaway would have set up on a remote island salvaging items off a half-sunken freighter from 1932 after a cruise to Singapore like the Skipper!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Quite the compliment 🙏

[@joannethorne6555]

I'm irrationally jealous of that Temple to Tiki! I live in the Snowy Northeast and I can only dream of having a climate so conducive to a build like that. Fantastic job, enjoy!

[@colonelsandals261]

Definitely want a trim/sign carving tutorial!!!

[@georgetellado1401]

The upgraded Breezeway is just unbelievable ❤it retains the character of the old Breezeway but takes it even further into Tiki history and culture ❤ just incredible 🎉🎉

[@quadlazer]

A-frame construction? A variety of lamps on the ceiling? Roof caved in from rain? It’s the Mini Mai-Kai!

[@JDJohnston9906753]

GLORIOUS!

[@jonperry2215]

Rad tour! The A-frame is awesome and I love the lamps. There isn't a lot out of info making lamps, so I would vote for a lamp tutorial. Your channel has inspired my home bar and any help creating the bar aethestic would be great!

[@LittleLouieLagazza]

The translucent shell material is called "capiz" in the former Spanish possessions in the Pacific including the Marianas, Guam, and the Philippines. It's from a big shallow-waters bi-valve critter

[@jjsc3334]

You are so creative, your tiki bar, tiki garden, your collection, lantern, carving... You built everything. Thank you for showing us.

[@mikeblitzen]

great tour spike! wold like to see carving tutorial ( router? ) also, chunk/resin lamp tutorial. aloha!

[@justingo8398]

calling this amazing would be an understatement. so very cool

[@lancecox8084]

It has been awhile since we have been there Spike, the rebuild is crazy good!

[@chunkymurps]

Layers upon layers upon layers indeed. From what you see in the weekly videos you'd have no idea just how much is going on in your bar without that tour. Looks amazing. And i'm just in the middle of making some of those corks and bottles suspended on rope although i don't remember them from the Book of Tiki (i'll have to pull my copy out and have a look - it's been a while anyway), i remember them from the Kon Tiki in AZ. They had heaps of them.

[@adamofnotrades]

This video is so inspiring! Kudos to you, you’ve really become a leader in the Tiki community.

[@taliaeve969]

Oh I’m so doing this to my patio

[@steviem8466]

Coolamundo! Hats off to you for all the effort and hard work. looks really good.

[@miksologia]

Wow! I have to take a minute to let it all sink in and then take the tour again. Absolutely amazing, dude!

[@majdamage]

Wow, very cool and so much bigger than I had imagined from the show

[@thegreatnorthwet5864]

Bro, you are a legend, cheers to taking it all the way!

[@flyingdutchy01]

I'm building my own outdoor Tikibar on my balcony. I'm far from done but so far i'm enjoying the process. It's always nice to watch your videos for extra inspiration!

[@TheErbs]

You seriously inspire us. I can't wait until our bar gets a little bigger and has as much beautiful stuff as yours. ❤️ Definitely a slice of paradise.

[@scottm6927]

So talented, Spike. I sincerely admire your accomplishments! Aloha! Okole Maluna! Cheers!

[@vikingshelm]

Man I would live to visit this How amazing man! 👏

[@OrchidAndromeda]

Absolutely beautiful! Keep living your dream. I am going to bartending school in four more weeks and I am so excited and I want to to work in a tiki bar

[@TheZomfatherPtii]

I'm glad you got that jade tile sitch handled.

[@breckerfan]

AMAZING!! WOW! 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@gtmuse329A]

Crazy wild! BTW, the shell material is called “capiz shells”, we have a full capiz chandelier in our place.

[@annedixon2528]

🎉perfect home tiki experience!! Love ❤️ it!

[@brandond2515]

So glad I found this. Your channel is incredibly inspiring!

[@LaurieMcCammon]

You are a true artist! This is the most amazing tiki bar I’ve ever seen! Perfection!!!

[@jlreger]

I really enjoy your aesthetic sensibilities. Your photography and music ROCK.

[@matthewbenech4722]

Dude I wanna see more of your little lagoon area! Super cool

[@stevenjacobs2750]

Its interesting how much better this video has performed than so many of the other ones. Every episode is so good!

[@busbuddha]

Yes please episode on the lagoon and an ep on trim carving! Do you have one on making crate lamps?

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

I don't, but that's a great idea!

[@gregorykendall1387]

Amazing!

[@brianlehmkuhl8162]

Thanks Spike! Very inspiring!

[@viscabarca4082]

Your bottle is in fact Bacardi (bahhcarDEE) rum, a Catalan family name interestingly enough, the label lists the cities and years it won the award of Gran Premio (Grand Prize) 🥂

[@toybuddha5139]

Need a red light in that volcano fountain for the lava effect

[@TheGreenLumux]

Absolutely Loving the Channel! I just discovered Tiki within the past week and I have spent HOURS watching your content!! Your bar is stunning!!! Definitely planning my own now!! Cheers!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Welcome aboard! And thank you so much!

[@jcvalenti]

I hate that you posted this because now it showed up on my feed and now all I want to do is build one. Just fantastic work, sir.

[@jackwilliamson1929]

I'd have to seriously consider hanging a skeleton from that prow you have that green float on. Maybe dress it in some rags and put a wood sign around it's neck like we hang pirates or something. You got one cool backyard bar there.

[@lowplacesbackyardbar6094]

Wow, this is freaking cool. You make my backyard bar look like childs play. Great job.

[@giovanniamore7532]

the paint on the floor outside should be like a treasuremap, leading to the entrance.. 😄👍

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

That would be cool!

[@archangelthj]

You ever think about doing a How to video on how you made the lava rock fountains? Its pretty amazing and realistic, would love to know how you did it! Amazing job on the whole bar! life goals for sure

[@archangelthj]

Tutorial on the trim would be awesome as well!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

I'd like to... Soon!

[@banjoreno]

Your tiki is amazing! Thanks for sharing

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thank you! 😊

[@mikeysteins1784]

Truly amazing and inspiring work (and collection)! That being said… YES! Please teach us about trim carving

[@milkweeddreams8828]

GOALS...this proves it, MORE IS MORE...thanks for the inspiration and for blowing my mind...CHEERS...!

[@jeffgriner2086]

Love this video! I would really enjoy a deeper dive into the gear you made, especially the lamps.

[@soozempen814]

Super fun vlog, thanks! I've wanted to get a better feel for the whole bar/experience since the upgrades and this was perfect. Knowing the general set up helps the episodes feel more intimate and like hanging with a friend.

[@raymondplodzien7459]

So very awesome!! Well done!!

[@LunarWind59]

Missed your live Instagram, but got the new merch! 🙂 Loved the tour of the bar. It's come so far since your first show oh so long ago. Great depth and complexity. Truly something you can keep coming back to again and again, seeing something new each time. And the new entryway is amazing! Kudos, good sir, and salud!

[@stardust949]

Fantastic!!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@cjdesign5700]

Great job Spike...amazing handcrafting with deep layers

[@jcost0099]

Great video Spike! Love all of it. I can sure appreciate the level of work in your roof tear down and re-do. Now, I got some stuff to go order!!!

[@darrenandtinasale1502]

Every time I see the Breezeway I’m just in awe!! Wow! Love to see it in person one day! Also ordered the amazing swizzles and coasters.

[@DB-uv1st]

Stunning! What a ton of work and planning, but wow, it must have been fun and it looks to have paid off tremendously. Just amazing. The yard too!

[@STARSnBARS99]

Absolutely amazing

[@chellib3533]
