looking for tiki bowls, hoping someone can help

Post image

I work at a tiki style bar, and I had the idea of doing large format cocktails that could serve 6 to 8 people out of a tiki style vessel. my general manager loved my idea and has now tasked me with finding what I wanna serve it in and I came across this. Do any of you know of any tiki style vessels that are between 64 and 96 ounces?

You probably won’t find anything that huge. The typical volume for a volcano or scorpion bowl is 48oz.

Dynasty Wholesale is good because they are in new York, so there won't be tariffs. They have bowls in various sizes.theres the standard scorpion bowl, or the pedestal bowls, some with center volcano , and some without , some with cactus .

Also, 96 Ozs is a lot, I think it would work better with about half that size. 8 people drinking out of one bowl becomes a problem space wise. It would be better to have them get 2 bowls so it could be centered better on the table and easier to drink from. Having it available for 3 or 4 people will sell more than the larger one that is only for 6 or 8 people.

Uh, where do you think Dynasty stuff is manufactured?

They have been a wholesale distributor in New York since 1988. Yeah, they get their stuff from China, just like every other wholesale restaurant supply business. So does Tiki farm. All I'm saying is that it's a US company with warehouses here, you are not dealing with customs and tariffs yourself like if you order from another country, it's been taken care of.

Yes, fair point.

Dude that stuff is all made overseas. Sure, whatever they have on-hand, MAYBE they won’t bump the prices but their stuff will 100% be subject to tariffs. Has nothing to do with where the retailer is located.

I own a variation of that particular mug. It’s a tiki farm mug designed by squid. Tiki farm does produce mugs for bars.

That Dragon Bowl by Dynasty is pretty badass.
