Bol-A-Kai operated sometime in the '60s. It later became Ambassador Lanes. The building has been demolished, and a gas station is now on the spot.

The Hawaiian Century Room (1940-1948) was in the Adolphus Hotel, which is still operational since 1912.

Like the Tonga Room in San Francisco, the Hawaiian Century Room had a faux tropical rainstorm effect falling into a central pool. There were also "animated" murals of breaking surf.

This pre-tiki bar claimed to be the "aristocrat of nite clubs" and according to ads in the San Francisco Examiner, was open as early as October 1935.

By 1941, this location was home to Joaquin Garay's Copacabana.

When The Reef first opened in 1961, it was advertised as Wyoming's first Polynesian lounge.

The Reef was designed by Lou and Cliff Sawyer, a husband and wife decorating team based in Palm Springs, CA. They also decorated the South Pacific Room and Beachcomber Shops in Palm Springs and the South Sea Club/Surf Room Restaurant in Anchorage, AK.

A newspaper article celebrating the exotic new hot spot describes the scene:

“On the Center Street entrance there are two picture windows. The window to the left of the door contains a five-foot Tiki god standing amid jungle flowers and sea shells. To the right of the door stands an eight-foot Tiki god. Above the door is a small shelf running the width of the building filled with rocks collected from Wyoming rock beds by local rockhound clubs.”

Lou and Cliff sold The Reef in 1970 and the new owners fought against a changing neighborhood which grew rougher and rougher with a reported knife assault in 1973 and in 1975, a drunk patron shot and killed one of the owners, resulting in the sale of The Reef in 1978.

It was replaced by a disco club.

The Aku-Tiki Room was in the Andris Waunee Farm Restaurant, in a remote area just off Rural Route 2. Glen Andris purchased the farm in 1953, but didn't add on the tiki room until 1967 - inspired not by a trip to Hawaii, but instead by winter trips to Acapulco, and time spent in the Aku-Tiki restaurant there. The room was expanded in 1984.

It closed in January 2008, and there was an auction of the remains in June 2008.

This bar had a landmark legal battle in 1958, still used as the standard in Philadelphia for many cases against strip clubs attempting to serve alcohol or bars attempting to entertain with naked women.

From the case summary: "The entertainment consisted of various dance routines described as "bumps and grinds" by female entertainers who had removed practically all of their clothing. Article IV of the Liquor Code deals with licenses and regulations. Section 493 ( 47 P. S. § 4-493) provides in pertinent part that it shall be unlawful: "(10) . . . for any licensee, under any circumstances, to permit in any licensed premises any lewd, immoral or improper entertainment, regardless of whether a permit to provide entertainment has been obtained or not."

Tiki Room in Pomona was open at least as early as 2000 and was a rental space used for bands to have live shows.

It was a spacious venue, with dim lighting, glow-in-the-dark paintings, caged go-go dancers, a stage for dancing and a maximum capacity of about 2,000 people.

It closed in 2007, and the building that housed it has been demolished.

On June 23, 1937, the world-famous Hawaiian Room opened. This marks it as a pre-tiki venue although it produced its own tiki mug years later.

The Hawaiian Room was located in the Hotel Lexington (now the Radisson Lexington Hotel). Guests had a hula of a time sipping coconut willies and watching live hula performances. The space became synonymous with entertainer Arthur Godfrey, a well-known TV personality in the 1960s. He’d broadcast his radio show live from that space. The hotel's recently renovated Arthur Godfrey Suite pays homage to his legacy.

The Hawaiian room closed in 1966.

*NOTE that the brochure image shows full detailed recipe for the "Pineapple Paradise" which is only briefly described in menu: 4 small pineapples, 2 oz pineapple juice, 2 oz lime juice, 3 oz Demerara rum, 2 oz light Puerto Rican rum, 2 oz peach brandy, 2 teaspoons fine sugar. Use pineapple shells as containers for this drink. Cut the edges off of pineapples about 1 1/2 inches down, then cut a small notch in the top through which you can insert a straw. Scoop out the interior leaving a shell about 1/4 inch thick. In a shaker put pineapple juice, lime juice, Demerara rum, Puerto Rican rum, peach brandy, and sugar. Add crushed ice and shake. Pour into pineapples, replace pineapple tops, and insert a straw in notches.

Opened around 1958.

The Hawaiian Room was in the Emerson Hotel, until the hotel was demolished in 1971.

The space in the hotel that housed the Hawaiian Room had previously been a rather posh barbershop.

Their logo on menus and other printed items was taken directly from Ren Clark's Polynesian Village -- the Milan Guanko Tiki.

The Hawaiian was located at 4645 E.Pacific Coast Highway and opened for business on Thursday, July 28, 1955.

It replaced the Golden Drumstick restaurant and operated throughout the 1960s.

The Hawaiian was owned/operated by Don May who also owned Leilani Hut on 2nd Street where Legends is now located.

The Hawaiian closed on June 27th, 1969.

In 1970, the building was repurposed as a Datsun dealership.

Today, a Pep Boys now stands at this location.
