A large Drooling Bastard statue sits in a fountain inside the Tonga Hut tiki bar, North Hollywood, CA. Plaques with the names of the members of the Loyal Order of the Drooling Bastard surround the statue. To become a member of the Loyal Order, you must drink all seventy six cocktails in Beachbum Berry’s book “The Grog Log”.
This mug is a copy of the Tonga Hut Drooling Bastard statue. The mug was produced by John Mulder at Eekum Bookum for Tonga Hut North Hollywood’s 65th anniversary. This is the 2nd run of the anniversary mug. The mug exterior is gloss black with violet and beige spots randomly placed throughout the mug and a red interior. The words “65 YEARS - 1958 - Tonga Hut” on the back of the mug.
The mug was released at Tonga Hut's Summer Spectacular on June 23, 2024, and came with a package of Tonga Hut stirrers.
