The Polynesian Room at the Sheraton Yankee Clipper Hotel was Fort Lauderdale's premier tiki destination during the golden age of Polynesian pop culture in the 1960s and 70s. Located along the bustling beachfront strip, this legendary watering hole transported guests from Florida's Atlantic coast straight to an imagined South Pacific paradise with its authentic bamboo décor, tropical cocktails served in ceramic tiki mugs, and the hypnotic glow of carved wooden totems. The venue became a must-visit destination for both hotel guests and locals seeking an exotic escape, serving as a cornerstone of Fort Lauderdale's vibrant nightlife scene. While the original room eventually closed, its legacy lives on as one of Florida's most beloved vintage tiki establishments, representing an era when escapism came served with a paper umbrella and a side of aloha spirit. Part of our Vintage Tiki collection, celebrating the defunct golden era bars of yesteryear.
