TV Show Built My Tiki Bar?! [Reaction Video]

I've always enjoyed watching reaction videos, but the idea of creating one for my own channel never crossed my mind... until just a few days ago. Surprisingly, a TV pilot in which I participated over a decade ago resurfaced this week, revealing the origin story of my home tiki bar! It's a bit cringe-worthy to watch - I appear young and awkward on camera, and it basically stars my ex-girlfriend. There are numerous reasons why this might be a questionable idea. However, amidst the awkwardness, it's undeniably a fun concept, and I genuinely hope you find it as amusing as I did. I SINCERELY want to know your thoughts about this, so please drop a comment below.

I know I'm not the only one who could watch an entire build a tiki bar series! This was awesome

I would’ve invited the neighbors to the reveal party so they can see and enjoy the thing they were forced to listen being built 😅

Great idea for an episode! I really enjoyed seeing the birth of the Breezeway. I was surprised at how small the space appears when it was a breezeway, as opposed to when it is the Breezeway.

I watched the whole thing on KZfaq the other day, and it was really cool to see the origins of the Breezeway! Also cool to watch again with your commentary!

Love it, man! Just goes to show you how running into the right people and making things happen like the Breezeway can make the world a better place 😉 I was at the Inferno Room here in Indy earlier tonight, and realized you started your show. I wanted to watch, but too loud, and hanging with friends. Watched as soon as I got home though!

I remember watching some of that years ago and found another video of you getting your Witco bar from Palmdale or something like that. That’s how I found this show! Viewing and loving this show sine episode #1. You’ve come along way! 🙌🏼😎

Loved seeing the birth of the Breezeway. Everyone who has a home Tiki bar knows it’s never finished but evolves and you keep collecting and building. Got some ideas for my little back yard tiki from this!! 😉

Very cool to see the start of it all! It’s amazing how much it has changed over the years. This is very inspiring to all of us who want to build a home bar. It shows us all that it doesn’t have to exactly what you want right from the start. It can and probably will evolve over time.

@davezortea 6 ай бұрын

So cool! I wish I had video of my original home tiki bar build. Like yours, it has evolved almost beyond recognition. And yes, I'm never done either. Always adding and changing. Loved seeing this Matt!

This is really helpful for those of us in the process of building our own home tiki bars, so we don't have to re-invent the wheel. I should have embraced a staple gun far earlier in my build process, especially for mounting lauhala matting (and fishing nets, nail guns for bamboo, etc.). Also, remembering that while tiki masks are a lot of fun to collect, they can get expensive quick; much appreciated advice about layering and depth to really make the bar feel fun, both in this video and the later one about the Hale Manu home bar in Nashville (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9p-ia540s-oc6s.html). Maybe someday soon I'll get bold and try to make my own moulding; great video!

Fun watching this again! I never hung my nuts during the original build. Maybe my Son (Blake) and I will stop by to do so one of these days!! It’s the signature of a true Bamboo Ben & (now) SON build! 🍹🍹🗿🗿🤙🤙🌴🌴

Great episode Spike. Interesting to see how things progressed with your Bar and your own handywork. Shame things went south with your ex girlfriend, very cute. Hard to meet people who have similar interests. I have been building my own Garden Tiki Bar last Summer and continuing it again as the weather improves. Will forward images via Instagram in due course.

"Surfing every day" - Good ,life! Thanks for that :"If you're building a Tiki bar" tip. That's what I was searching for! I'm thinking about putting a couple of 16 outlet power strips up there. Maybe your idea of 4 outlet boxes spread around is better?

A suggestion to help avoid air traffic fly over noise , use the Flight radar web page or app to monitor air traffic in your city , then you can see what is coming or how active the air noise is in real time.

Question… Most of these tiki spaces seem to be a decent space making it easier to give the illusion things are more cavernous. I’m wondering about putting together a tiny tiki space (like tiny homes). I have the perfect fantastic space made for it, but it’s not generous on space. Would love comments or maybe an epsiode on that? Aloha!

@hisdukeness3037 6 ай бұрын

You’d be surprised how having a bar will get attention when selling… I’d say a tiki bar quadruples a run of the mill bar

And we all thought you build that bar yourself. Having watched the first 10 Minutes, I don't see what you're talking about. You don't come across as awkward. [Edit] Ah ok, the end result was way off what it looks like now. Looks a lot better now.
