This was a spinoff location from the original Christian's Hut in Newport Beach. Open from about 1950 -1952.

Earlier this same location had been the Doll House in the early 40s and Don Manchester's Brazil Club in the late 40s.

Later this location became Kona Hut (in 1952-1956).

This was a spinoff location from the original Christian's Hut in Newport Beach. It was open from July 19th, 1957- June 30th, 1958.

Owned by Art Lashelle, who spent $50,000 redecorating the former Kewalo Inn in a South Seas motif for his new restaurant.

Stockholders included a lot of famous names, supposedly including John Wayne, Johnny Weissmuller, Red Skelton, and Fred MacMurray.

It, too, had a large Goof on the Roof, as well as a giant water wheel.

Closed and re-opened as The Sportsman's Inn on June 30th, 1958.

From its opening in 1949 (putting it squarely in the pre-tiki category), Honolulu Harry’s Waikiki provided “entertainment direct from Hawaii” and “dancing under Hawaiian skies.”

The first location was at 4541 Broadway in Chicago.

Not long after opening, the bar made a short move and re-opened in 1952 at its final location at 804 W. Wilson.

Years before, this location on W. Wilson was the Barrel O' Fun Tavern, John Dillinger's favorite hangout.

This new incarnation was quite different: “There were fresh pineapples on the tables, paper leis and ti leaves hanging all around”.

Harry even imported tikis from Hawaii (see 1955 photo below with Harry, a fern tiki -- the Goddess Hina, and a hula dancer)

By 1959, the bar began touting itself as an “authentic Hawaiian theatre restaurant.”

Newspapers show the bar celebrated a 10 Year Anniversary in 1962.

It appears in later years before it closed (after 1962) that the name was shortened to "Club Waikiki".

Today, the site is home to The Covington Luxury Apartments, which were built in 1965, so Harry's must have closed some time between 1962 and 1965.

Gene’s Hawaiian Village opened as a dance pavilion about 1932. Run by Harry Eugene Long.

This pre-Tiki venue featured native performers.

The “village,” located to the north of the cafe itself, consisted of Samoan huts, canoes, beachcomber shacks, and “everything authentic enough to transport you in imagination to another world,” according to columnist Win Morrow.

The building had a large neon sign across its flat front, and the entrance was flanked by two large, blocky tiki guardians.

Gene’s operated into 1948.

At some point, the building was demolished, and today a hotel is on the site.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.
