Tiki bar culture can be traced back to Polynesia, and the word tiki is a Maori term that refers to a carved human figure. As the Western world became enamored with this aesthetic decades ago, tiki bars have gained popularity not just as restaurants but for decorating patios, backyards and pool decks that are fit for a party.

Before you can start creating your own epic entertaining space in the backyard, there are few factors to consider when shopping for a tiki bar for sale.
Before purchasing a tiki bar for sale, do your research and think carefully about what features can best serve you and your yard. A tiki bar set is an investment, so you need to ensure that it's long lasting and suitable for your entertaining style.
Think about what you want aesthetically. A thatched umbrella or roof is a must-have feature. Palapa umbrellas are a traditional grass umbrella from Mexico made with palm leaves that provide an island aesthetic that resembles tiki culture. Elephant grass and bamboo woven roofs are also attractive choices but cost more.
Consider the practical aspect of your choices, as well. How many shelves are behind the bar for storage? Is a cooler included? Are there racks where you can conveniently hang glasses? Presumably, you want the bar not just for decorative purposes but so you can actually serve your guests' drinks. For this to be enjoyable, the layout of the bar needs to be functional.
Another major factor to consider is whether you need bar stools. Some tiki bars come with stools, while others do not. If you plan to place your tiki bar by the pool guests can just pop over for a drink and head elsewhere to lounge, but if you are trying to create a gathering spot for your yard that is the focal point, choosing a set with seating ensures that guests have a comfortable spot to socialize. The following ten sets are excellent additions to your backyard oasis.
