This bar seems to be an expanded version of this classic 60's Witco Tiki bar: Perhaps not as successful a design concept, your friends' bar indeed seems to be a one-of, and as such is tres cool! The only other Tiki bar I have seen by Witco that has the "canopy" concept is even less convincing in it design: ....because the Tikis were carved in flat 2D profile. And I like the Leopard shawl on those bar stools - they did that for some of their floor Tikis, there's an example at the Hala Kahiki.
