The Lanai was part of Villa Plaza, at the current location of the (Radisson) Villa Hotel, around 40th and El Camino in San Mateo. The plaza contained the hotel, the Chartier restaurant, the Lanai restaurant, and Lanai Liquors. Now it's just the hotel, which still mainly fronts on El Camino and has a nice midcentury style, but which has officially become a Radisson. Plus the Walgreens, the seemingly inevitable replacement of all former tiki establishments.

Thanks all for the nice comments and references to my adventure with the Lanai Liquors tiki.
