Build-Your-Own-Bar (BYOB) Lecture Series
Preceding The Hukilau, join us June 3-4 for an immersive two‑day workshop series dedicated to the art and craft of building your own home tiki bar. Learn from master builders, designers, carvers, and bartenders as they break down layout, lighting, decor, materials, bar workflow, drink program planning, and the essential details that separate a good bar from a great one.
A hands-on, deep-dive experience for aspiring home bar creators and seasoned pros alike.
