tiki hut

Thatched tropical bar

A tiki hut is an open-sided shelter with a thatched roof made from palm fronds or similar tropical materials, evoking Polynesian style.

Originally associated with island cultures, tiki huts now appear at beach resorts, backyard pools, and bars serving tropical drinks: We grabbed seats at the tiki hut and ordered mai tais.
