If you would like to throw up your own backyard tiki bar but don’t really want to go to the time or expense of building a high-quality one, Threadless presents a nice little video on how to set up a simple outdoor tiki bar. To get started, you will need an old dresser or shelf (this will become the base of the bar), a bamboo screen, 4 – 4ft 1×2 strips, cordless drill and screws, grass skirts, wire cutter, galvenized wire, and a couple of hawaiian leis.

This is a quick and simple way to build a nice little backyard tiki bar. Of course, if you are looking for something more, you should check out our tiki bar reviews.

After you get your tiki bar built, don’t forget to set yourself up with tiki torches and decor!

For those looking for something more custom, there are some good tiki bar plans out there that offer step-by-step instructions on how to build a beautiful indoor or outdoor tiki bar.

What if you only need a temporary tiki bar for that tiki-themed Christmas party? You may have a limited budget and want to avoid spending it all on a tiki bar kit. You can create a temporary tiki bar for under $10, allowing you to focus your budget on the truly important stuff – booze.

Clear off one table – this can be a small dining table, kitchen table, or desk. This will be your new tiki bar.
Drive down to your nearby grocery store and pick up a dozen paper bags. Cut them length-wise, tape them together, and tape to the top of your table.
Track down a raffia grass table skirt – these can be found on eBay or at a local party supplies store. Attach the grass skirt to the front and sides of your table.
Set a few bottles of rum, juice, and your bucket of ice on the table. You’ve got a tiki bar!

If you would like to build a relatively simple tiki bar at home, these plans by Atomic Magazine could be just what you are looking for. Built primarily out of bamboo, this tiki bar is perfect for entertaining and is small enough to fit in your apartment or poolside.

This step-by-step guide is entertaining and quite easy to follow. If you can get your hands on the various sizes of bamboo required, your new tiki bar can be fully operational by this weekend – serving up Mai Tais and Zombies to guests clad in evening beachwear.
