America's Restaurants -- Industry of Opportunity

As the second largest private-sector employer in the country, America's restaurants are an economic force, but that statistic doesn't fully tell the story of the millions of individuals who are living the American Dream by working in our industry. This video captures a few poignant stories that help tell the 'Industry of Opportunity' story.

Red Bull Party Wave

Come Cheer on Team Tiki's at the first Red Bull Party Wave

NOON Tomorrow Sunday July 13, the Red Bull Party Wave will bring teams together to showcase the “most ingenious, innovative and downright wacky surfing crafts” at Queen’s Beach in Waikiki. Surfers, thrill-seekers and creative types.

Pregame warm ups for fans start at Tiki's Grill & Bar at 10:30am and then we walk over to Queens Beach!

Come see what our Tiki's gang came up with!

The Red Bull Flugtag event is watched by millions ever year, but this year, the energy drink company is hosting a special event with a Hawaiian twist a week from tomorrow on July 13.

The inaugural Red Bull Party Wave will be a surf competition featuring 12 teams. The teams will be building homemade vessels that they’ll use to catch a wave at world famous Queen’s Beach.

Similar to Red Bull’s Soapbox Race and Flugtag competitions, the Red Bull Party Wave will gather 18 teams who have all worked to build a craft from eco-friendly materials that float and don’t use any type of external energy source (including sails).

Competitors will be judged on the following criteria:

» Craft creativity
» Team showmanship
» Wave performance

Along with building something that will survive the surf, teams are also expected to trick out their creations (and themselves) and perform a skit on the beach prior to going in the water.

Two-time ASP World Champion Carissa Moore, world-class waterman Kainoa McGee and surf photographer Zak Noyle will judge the crews on craft creativity, team showmanship and wave performance.

The winners of the Red Bull Party Wave will receive a hand-carved trophy and a trip for the entire team to the Red Bull Air Race in Las Vegas and a hand-carved trophy.

Retro ReLaunch of Primo Beer

Tiki's Grill & Bar was proud to be chosen to do the state Retro ReLaunch of Primo Beer

This was an industry party that rocked Waikiki. 

Using the original ingredients from when it was first brewed in 1897, Primo took the liquid back to its roots and made a highly sessionable, everyday beer. 

After revamping the liquid Primo followed suit with the look, feel, and message of the brand. 

Utilized the vintage 1943 packaging to connect with Hawai’i’s golden age: A time before the flash and glitz of commercialism, when getting on a plane was an enjoyable and romantic notion. A time when exploration was at the heart of every traveler and new discoveries were found around every corner.
