Opened in 1962 and closed in 2000.

This was actually the second location for Ciral's House of Tiki, and the first location was a few blocks north and lasted for about 8 years.

The exterior had a large neon sign flanked by several electric beer signs and had a sort of diner look to the casual observer.

This bar was a big draw for locals and for both University of Chicago students and professors alike.

The interior featured bamboo trim and curtains, hanging plants, pufferfish lamps, and a vintage Budweiser sign with circling Clydesdales.

There was a jukebox filled with 78 rpm albums, especially classic soul and R&B.

The menu featured classic rum-based tiki cocktails and if anyone ever ordered tequila they were met with a lecture by the owner on the dangers of tequila as a poisonous liquor.

Bottled beer was also available.

Their food menu is remembered for its fried fish or chicken and for its baby back ribs.

This bar was featured in the Gene Hackman film, The Package (1989) -- starting at the 50:40 minute mark.
