Located at the Thor-Go Mall on 43rd and Dunlap.

As of 2023, this mall appears to now be re-named the Angal Dunlap Shopping Mall.

Bob Brooks 7 Seas night club was a pre-tiki establishment (although they did have both physical tikis and tiki graphics in their menu and advertising...so a case could be made they they were full-blown tiki earlier than many think), originally opened at 6904 Hollywood Boulevard by Ray Haller in 1935. Capitalizing on the popularity of the South Pacific as a dream vacation destination, Haller borrowed ideas from the popular Don the Beachcomber club a few blocks away and decorated the 7 Seas with a collection of tropical plants, nautical items, lava rocks, and other items of decor that fit the Polynesian theme. The most notable feature was a corrugated tin roof upon which nightly tropical rain storms--complete with thunder and lightning effects--rattled with considerable realism. Don the Beachcomber "borrowed" this idea.

When Bob Brooks took the club over a few years later, he upped the ante by stealing some of Don the Beachcomber's bartenders (including Ray Buhen of Tiki-Ti fame) along with their recipes for exotic rum drinks for an extra $10 a week which was a lot back then. Brooks also added an authentic Polynesian floor show, which was unique among South Pacific-themed clubs at the time. Another factor adding to the 7 Seas' popularity was its proximity to Grauman's Chinese Theater. Movie-goers had only to cross Hollywood Boulevard for an exotic climax to their evening on the town.

Another highlight of the 7 Seas was that Bob Brooks had several Edgar Leeteg paintings hanging up from his visits to Tahiti. These were removed in the 1950s after Leeteg's death when their value suddenly skyrocketed. However, he hired a Leeteg protege to make duplicate replacements.

Under new ownership in the 1960s, the popular night spot became the Seven Seas Supper Club. By the 1970s, however, the 7 Seas was declining into nothing more than a seedy bar. To make matters even worse in the early 1980s, owner Eddie Nash was tried with porn star John Holmes for the "Wonderland" killings and for drug trafficking through his nightclubs, including the 7 Seas. Today there is nothing left of this one-time Polynesian paradise but picture postcards, matchbook covers, and memories.

*NOTE: Bob Brooks had a second Seven Seas location in Las Vegas at the Nevada Biltmore, but it was short-lived, lasting just from 1942-1944.

Open at least as late as October 1963.

Harold Andreasen Jr. and Gordon Corson, proprietors. Lloyd Chang, manager. Serving American and Chinese cuisine. South Seas atmosphere In cocktail lounge.

It appears this is the same location as Honolulu Harry's Waikiki but that the name might have just been shortened to "Club Waikiki" in later years. Matchbooks with the same address point in that direction.

Alternately, photos of Harry's show "Club Waikiki" painted on the side, so it's possible this club was just a section of the larger complex like Don the Beachcomber's had its Dagger Bar, for instance.

Today, the site is home to The Covington Luxury Apartments, which were built in 1965, so Club Waikiki must have closed some time between 1959 when Harry's was doing dance reviews and dinner theater and 1965 when the Covington was built.

Mai Tai, Excelsior's thatch-roofed Polynesian restaurant and bar, opened in 1978 and quickly became a hot spot around Lake Minnetonka.

The Mai Tai was founded by John Logan, former head chef at the Ambassador Hotel in St. Louis Park.

Fun was the main concern at Mai Tai, and the bartenders were able to mix about 30 different Polynesian drinks. The décor was decidedly tropical and included an outrigger canoe and a 200-foot waterfall. In a May 1984 interview, some of the restaurant's founders said they had 12 varieties of seafood flown in daily along with fresh orchids from Hawaii that were placed on the tables.

Live music was part of the appeal, as was the varied menu. Dinner specials one night included a dish of beef, shrimp and scallops, veal cordon bleu and chicken kiev. Fashion shows and classic boat shows also brought in customers. With the popularity came parking problems and in 1986 a trolley service was started so customers who had to park far away could easily get to the restaurant.

Throughout most of the 1980s, Mai Tai was the go-to spot for many people, including young adults who were fond of the varied drink menu. Hangovers weren't the only headaches caused by the excessive drinking, and some city officials and residents viewed the establishment as a nuisance.

The Mai Tai closed in 1989.

As of 2021 the property was in transition. It had been home to the Bayside Grill which closed in 2017 and then appeared to have been leased out as office space to Asystec and possibly others.

As of 2024, the space is now known as the Bayview Event Center & Charter Cruises.

Tiki Port is a Chinese/Polynesian restaurant, it opened in 1977. The decor includes painted murals and beautiful Orchids of Hawaii style swag lamps, but the theming is more Chinese than Polynesian. It serves traditional Chinese/Polynesian favorites, including a flaming pu-pu platter.

Tiki Port has a slightly-more-Polynesian sister restaurant in Medford, Tiki Island.

Advertised All-Star Tahitian Entertainment and French dinners.

Sol K. Bright, Sr. reportedly composed his famous song "Hawaiian Cowboy" here while on tour in 1933.

In the late 1960s, Lokelani and Her Islanders (Leonard Lua, George Sepulveda and dancer Manulani) performed on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

The South Seas was a pre-tiki tropical themed restaurant, with painted murals of beach scenes and palm trees behind the bar, bamboo around the front of the bar, and fish nets and floats on the ceiling in the dining area.

Opened March of 1970.

The Kohala Mauna Restaurant was devoted to Polynesian and Chinese foods and operated by the Lee family.

This family was experienced as chefs and Chinese restaurant operators in the Boston area. With no previous Burlington connections, the family drove around looking for another location for a restaurant, after selling one in Leominster, MA. They found the former Cobb's location vacant and made inquiry about the site. The restaurant was completely redecorated with Polynesian and Chinese accents. It seated about 125, with parking for 75 cars. There were separate luncheon and dinner menus.

This location is now a Denny's.

Tiny's had a log cabin exterior and was known for its cocktails and pinball game machines.

1716 Lofts is now in this location.

The Diamond Head restaurant was located on the famous Route 1 strip in Saugus, not too far from the Kowloon Restaurant.

They served American and Chinese food and had a wide assortment of cocktails to choose from.

There are two Haleiwa Joe's still open on Oahu: one in Haleiwa and another in Kaneohe.

This location in Rancho Mirage opened in June 2003, in what used to be a Chart House restaurant, in a very unique building.

The building (built in 1978) made clever use of a difficult site and was a spectacular example of “organic modernism.” Designed by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, the low, scalloped and laminated roof combined with incredibly deep eaves and gave the building the appearance of a giant sea creature washed up on some ancient shore. The building won numerous awards and was designated a historic landmark by the city of Rancho Mirage.

After 2009 it became Ocean's 111 and later GG's Island.

In January 2012 a fire broke out and the building was gutted. It was demolished in 2013.
