From the Badger Herald:

"Nestled among the more mainstream University Avenue bars like Wando's and Brothers is the Lava Lounge (461 W. Gilman St.), an out-of-the-way hangout that offers a refreshing break from the usual campus scene.

The Lava Lounge has a little something for every type of bar-goer. The jukebox includes everything from Andrew W.K. to Johnny Cash, the drink specials are some of the best in the downtown area, and the clientele seems to be different every night. One evening the bar might be filled with tattooed, pierced patrons of the upstairs business, The Piercing Lounge and Blue Lotus Tattoo. On another night, you'll find hockey or basketball fans, fresh from a game at the nearby Kohl Center.

The Lava Lounge specializes in tiki drinks, tropical concoctions blended to perfection and served in pint glasses. Among the best of these is the Lava Lounge Punch, which tastes a lot like Sweet-Tarts candy. If a tiki drink isn't your style, sample the extensive lineup of beer, bottled and tap, ranging from Old Style in 16-ounce cans to Great Dane German pilsner.

With a long bar, several tables and plenty of standing room, the décor of the Lava Lounge is nothing to scoff at, either. Pictures of surfers and tiki memorabilia abound, and the bamboo posts and wall coverings near the tables provide a kind of ’50s vintage atmosphere."

Closed in 2014.

Open at least as early as 1943.

Bar owned by Walt Gronert, as identified by Bob Barnett. Bar located on north side of 4th Avenue between G and H Streets, as identified by C. Gill.

The logo/menu design was greatly inspired from an early Trader Vic's menu but with a few changes.

It had a name change (probably in the late 40s) and was known as the Seven Seas Club by 1952, but the interior remained much the same.

This bar was apparently damaged/destroyed by the Great Alaskan Earthquake of 1964.

Site is currently home to Trapper Jack's Trading Post as of 2026.

This short-lived restaurant, bar and dance club opened in summer 2004, and closed in spring 2005.

Mister Tiki's was a new tiki bar and restaurant managed by the Cohn Restaurant Group, in the trendy Gaslamp district of San Diego. The group had invested also in the nearby Spa Tiki. Mister Tiki's was a trendy, modern take on Polynesian Pop, but tried to hold true to some mid-century influences. The artwork of Bosko was featured heavily throughout the bar and restaurant.

Mister Tiki's opened in 2004, and closed in early 2010.

Langerman's Luau was operated from roughly 1959-1968 by Harry Langerman, who may have also had other locations. Langerman was inspired to decorate with items from Polynesia after being stationed in the South Pacific during the war. Like many restaurants of the day, they were outfitted by Oceanic Arts. The restaurant included the Outrigger Room and Kontiki Bar.

This location in Narberth, PA is now home to a 4-story office building that was built in 1990.

The Beachcomber restaurant opened in July 1960, in the historic May Fair Hotel in Berkeley Square in Mayfair, London. It was created under the direction of the Danziger brothers Harry and Edward, American film producers who had moved to London and bought the hotel. The Beachcomber was the first introduction of the American Polynesian restaurant phenomenon to London, opening a few years before the London Trader Vic's. (The whole concept and name were nicked by the Butlin's chain of holiday camps for their Beachcomber Bars.) It was the apex of upscale themed dining, with rainstorms over a pond of caimans, parrots in and out of cages, and oceanic art all around. Storm and lighting effects added a theatrical feel to the space. Tableside flaming coffee grogs were served, and beautiful custom mugs, bowls and other serveware were used. The restaurant closed in 1985, and it was turned into the Crystal Room.

There is a modern-day bar in Notting Hill also called The Beachcomber, it has no connection to this historic restaurant.

Opened in January 1962.

This restaurant, along with The Hawaiian in Salt Lake City, was owned by Johnny Quong.

This restaurant, along with Johnny's Tiki Hut in Salt Lake City, was owned by Johnny Quong.

The Hawaiian was Quong's masterpiece and it thrived from 1961 through 1983 or a little later...

Among other details, customers remember its periodic monsoon thunderstorm special effects.

While he owned the building, Quong didn't own the land underneath it. When his lease came up, he decided he needed to close it, due to health issues stemming from diabetes. The restaurant was eventually converted into a Veterans Of Foreign Wars hall.

This classic Hawaiian hotel with striking views of Diamond Head near the beach of Waikiki was built in 1955 by famed American industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, and was originally named Kaiser's Hawaiian Village. The property began with a few buildings, but rapidly expanded, with soaring towers eventually contributing to Waikiki's skyline. The Rainbow Tower in particular is a local landmark. Kaiser also built a nearby geodesic dome auditorium, the Kaiser Aluminum Dome, where some Exotica classics were recorded.

Hilton purchased the hotel in 1961, and still owns it today.

The Hilton Hawaiian Village and its Shell Bar were also the setting for the TV show Hawaiian Eye, produced by Warner Brothers in Burbank and originally broadcast on ABC-TV from 1959 to 1963. Hawaiian Eye was a "private eye" adventure in modern Honolulu, with murder and mayhem set against the tropical scenery of the islands. The show had a vacation-like atmosphere with plots rum-infused with luaus, surfing, ukuleles, and Navy Grogs. Anthony Eisley and Robert Conrad were the private investigators working from their stylish poolside office. Pretty nightclub singer Connie Stevens performed each week in the adjacent Shell Bar, and Hawaiian-born Poncie Ponce added to the fun as a colorful cab driver. Even the villains on the show each week seemed to be on vacation. The most familiar icon of Hawaiian Eye, however, was the tiki seen at the opening and closing of every episode. The tiki also stood in the Hawaiian Eye headquarters and served as a sort of good-luck charm for the private eyes. See photos below...

There was even a "Hawaiian Eye" cocktail with its own mug on the original menu.

Martin Denny played regularly in the Shell Bar, and for a couple of years Arthur Lyman played here with him.

There is currently no Shell Bar (or other tiki bar here), but you can get tropical cocktails at the Tropics Bar & Grill.

Formerly Don the Beachcomber's.

Duke Kahanamoku's restaurant opened on September 1, 1961 with none-other-than Donn Beach handing over the keys to the Hawaiian surfing legend.

The restaurant hosted many regular musical acts, including Martin Denny and Don Ho.

*NOTE: Small standing menu below in last photo is signed by Zulu 5, the original Hawaii 5-O.

This location may be gone today, but currently, as of 2025, there is also a Duke's chain of restaurants that carry on this tradition with 3 locations in the Hawaiian Islands -- Waikiki, Maui, and Kauai. They also have 3 on the Mainland -- Huntington Beach, La Jolla, and Malibu.

This used to be a gravel and gold mining site. In 1965, the owners of the property, Archie and Virginia Calvaresi developed the mining pits into lakes and a community beach known as Aloha Beach. The Aloha Beach Club offered a restaurant and snack bar and the family eventually added a health spa, driving range and motel. In 1974 they sold the property and the history becomes murky until the Gillan family purchased it in 1994. During the next two years the Gillan family cleared and built up the property and at the same time the City of Westminster purchased adjacent land and created a reservoir moving Aloha Beach out of a flood plain and guaranteeing unobstructed panoramic mountain views for the soon to be residents.

Aloha Beach has 60 subdivision lots designed for water skiing around lakes which were reshaped by the Army Corps of Engineers. Although the subdivision still exists, the "health spa" community center is gone.
