Patio Tiki Bar Ideas

Your patio tiki bar makes your backyard the life of the party. Exciting new patio tiki bar ideas transform a once drab space into a tropical utopia. Kick back, relax and enjoy your favorite beverage at your patio tiki bar.

Create your tiki bar out of bamboo for an authentic look. A PVC or cedar frame also works in a pinch. Wrap the cedar or PVC in reed fencing to disguise the foreign material. Tiki bars traditionally feature a thatched roof straight out of the South Pacific. Grass material laid over a domed frame made out of any material would make a perfect roof for your bar. Build your tiki bar in the yard instead of the patio, so you can surround it with sand.

Place chairs that match your tiki bar nearby so that guests have a place to rest their feet. Decorate your patio tiki bar with shells and other items found on the beach. Tropical style masks and ship parts like anchors make stylish decorations for your patio tiki bar. Stash your drinks and mixers behind the counter or display on an inside shelf.

Accentuate the area around your patio tiki bar by adding tiki torches and tropical flower arrangements. Add citronella oil to the tiki torches to ward off unwanted insects. Play soft music in the background to complete your fantasy island atmosphere. Encourage your guests to dance by picking a partner and getting out there first.
