Sadly, I think the 1 1/2 does refer to the free parking situation - I remember hearing other theories . . . .

At The Pub restaurant in Pennsauken, N.J.---a surviving non-tiki-themed relative of Pub Tiki---there's a "1 1/2" in the logo design on their current drink glasses (clear glass one-pint glasses). The restaurant has its own big parking lot with no time limit, so I'm pretty sure the 1 1/2 refers to the generous liquor content of their mixed drinks. (Though I guess the meaning could have changed over time or space [crowded Center City Philly vs. more roomy Pennsauken].)

look at the photo of johntiki's mug. he has a matchbook that says "1 1/2 hours free parking." the same matchbook is in tikiquest pg 130.

...liquor in the front, poker in the rear...
