This location was part of a Chicago-based chain of Pago Pago restaurants which once had 5 locations, now all long gone.

The five included 227 W. Jackson, 126 N. Wells St., 316 S. Wabash Ave., Schiller Park, and Wheeling.

The mural advertisement on the side of the South Wabash location's brick building in Chicago lasted for many years after its close and is the only photo from any of these locations available.

The building and mural sign was demolished around 2010.

We know that this address hosted the Epicurean Restaurant (Hungarian food) from 1966 and into the 70s. So, the South Wabash Pago Pago must have been open, serving Chinese food and Polynesian drinks, from the mid 70s until its close, perhaps as late as the mid 90s.

The Island Shop was located in the center of the historic shopping Arcade in Ojai, California.

Circa 1960s.

They advertised: "Colorful, exotic gifts from far-away places. Bamboo and rattan furniture of rare decorator char. Ladies apparel to fit this background. Southern California's most unique shop. Also, pet and patio supplies and COMPLETE SPORTS SHOP."

Run by Claudia and Doug Jordan.

Opened December 7th, 2022 at UE Square, bringing Tipsy Collective’s animal kingdom concepts to a total of six.

This gastrobar was located in a mall and offered Hawaiian cuisine and tiki inspired craft cocktails.

Layout was open, offering half indoor and half outdoor seating.

Opened by co-founders David Gan and Derek Ong, and located along one of the most popular nightlife areas in Singapore.

Closed July 28th, 2024.

Opened March 17th, 1955 by John J. Allen.

The Blomberg Center was a mixed-use space with offices and shops that faced out on a central court.

The Lanai later became Danny's Garden Restaurant @ 1963.

At some point the Blomberg Center was renamed "The Lanai Shops" and the restaurant space housed a successive variety of other restaurants, including Ming Garden, World Seafood & Sushi Buffet, and lastly, The Hong Kong Islander which had an arson fire in 2023 which has seemingly closed the location indefinitely.

Opened February 1st, 2026, in Gilbert, Arizona.

FIG (Paul Figliomeni), is the owner. He is a longtime surfer, chef and founder of Surf City Sandwich.

The interior design was overseen by Tiki Diablo (Danny Gallardo) and the build-out is gorgeous classic tiki styling with spectacular hanging lamps, routered wood trim pieces carved with Polynesian designs, tiki carvings, thatching, nautical touches (a shark's head, ship's wheel, and vintage buoys), a mug display case, and much more.

The bar also features their own branded mugs and their house cocktail menu features both classics and signature cocktails.

Newspaper advertisements show this business ran from 1964 - 1981, first selling nautical and Polynesian goods and in later years becoming a night club.

They initially opened in 1964 at 4042 Lincoln Boulevard and then moved to 4110 Lincoln Boulevard @1969.

However, 1970s era matchbooks using the same logo advertise that this location was a nite club that offered dining and dancing as well.

They made the transition to a night club in 1971, operated by Rudy Onderwyzer, former manager of 'Shelly's Manne Hole' in Hollywood (a renowned jazz club).

A cheesecake photo from the Marina Del Rey Historical Society marked "1972" (background and below) shows a girl in cut-off jean shorts on a bamboo bridge with mounds of glass fish gloats piled to the side, a shell swag lamp and other lamps above her head with sales tags, and, in the shadows beyond it looks like band equipment and a tapa cloth hanging on the wall.

The question remains as to whether this was a store that became a night club or a store that moonlighted as a night club. With the piles of tagged merch, it doesn't look as though this was the cleanest transition...

This location later became Hop Singh's in 1981 (and ran until 1987).

Today, as of 2026, there is nothing left save some storage facilities behind industrial fencing.

This bar and restaurant was located in Pittsford Plaza, a 530,000 square foot open-air center in a suburb of Rochester, New York, built in the early 1960s.

"Specializing in Polynesian, Cantonese, and Mandarin dishes".

Today, there is no sign of the South Pacific. The location is now home to Century Liquor & Wines.

Opened in 1954.

The Polynesian tiki restaurant and bar featured an interior modestly decorated with bamboo, fishing nets, rattan furniture and tiki lamps. Besides tropical drinks, it also served Cantonese food, and charcoal-broiled and teriyaki steaks.

Closed in 1974.

The location is now a parking lot.

The Chi-Chi was one of a chain with locations also in Palm Springs, Hollywood, Riverside and Long Beach. The San Diego location opened in 1946 and included the South Seas Room. It closed in 1951.

As of 2023, this location is home to Urban India Restaurant & Bar.

Opened in 1946, the Hula Hut was a Hawaiian-themed bar located where the Tropic Cafe had previously been. It closed in 1965 and the whole block was raised to make way for the Westgate Hotel.

The Hurricane was a tropical cocktail lounge opened in 1945 by Sam Stutz and Edward Bolander, who operated a number of other bars/restaurants in town. The bar went through a long series of owners before closing in 1960.

High Roller re-located to this location in July of 2020 from 1636 Copenhagen Drive to 433 Alisal Rd.

All of the drinks served are variations on tropical drinks, using wine as the base instead of rum or other hard liquor. The space is thoroughly decorated with lauhala and tiki tchotchkes, and souvenir mugs are available.

Solvang was founded by a group of Danes who traveled west to establish a Danish community far from Midwestern winters. The city is home to a number of bakeries, restaurants, and merchants offering a taste of Denmark in California. The architecture of many of the façades and buildings reflects traditional Danish style. Additionally, since Solvang is in the heart of wine country, you can easily visit up to 20 different wine tasting rooms within walking distance, so remember to pace yourself!

*NOTE: In addition to the main bar, there is a separate entertainment space with stage for live music - Club 433 - just off the patio and feet from the main bar.
