The South Pacific Restaurant and Guam Outpost
Chicago, Illinois, United States
The South Pacific Restaurant and Guam Outpost (opened in 1954 by Wayne C. Sit), was a pre-tiki establishment located in the Loop in downtown Chicago.
Incredible neon signage created by the White Way sign company of Chicago.
You would enter this downstairs restaurant through a foyer with a tiki and a splashing fountain. Beaded curtains separated the cocktail lounge from the long dining room. Glass panels in the ceiling lit the room. Lots of greenery and a huge fake tree along one wall.
Lunch and dinner were served 7 days a week.
Closed in 1981.
Wayne C. Sit died in 2006 at the age of 88.
