Tropical tiki-bars have been making a flaming comeback in some of the world’s metropolises lately. This summer, for instance, the inner courtyard at New York’s SoHo Grand was transformed into Gilligan’s, a pop-up restaurant with tiki-inspired décor – bamboo walls, palm trees and accessories like life buoys and a wooden captain’s wheel. And with KOKO-MO, the new bar at Grill, the trend has arrived in Stockholm too. Grupp F12’s latest concept features all the classic tiki bar attributes, from a tropically- influenced interior to rum, tequila and pisco drinks served in coconuts, skull mugs, pineapples and smoking mini-volcanoes.

There’s live music, too, with surf rock featured on Saturdays, jazz on Sundays and Latin rhythms on Wednesdays. “The tiki culture begun in the early 1930s in the US, when many Americans could not afford or had no possibility to travel abroad. Tiki restaurants became an oasis where they could experience a different world, far away from the everyday problems,” says bar manager Markus Lundström. “It’s that kind of a feeling of joy and warmth and a pause from the everyday life that we’re after with KOKO-MO.”
