The Tiki Bar is Open is singer-songwriter John Hiatt's fifteenth album, released in 2001. It was his last album with Vanguard Records. Although they are uncredited, the album features backing band the Goners, the same cadre of friends who backed Hiatt in his 1988 release, Slow Turning. (CD Version does credit the Goners: Dave Ranson, Kenneth Blevins, and Sonny Landreth) "All the Lilacs in Ohio" was eventually rerecorded for Hiatt's collaboration album with the Jerry Douglas Band, Leftover Feelings.
