City:Kansas City State:MO Zip: country:USA Phone: Status:defunct Description: I found the mug shown here at TikiRoom.net and in this post here at Tiki Central asking about it. So I did a little reserach online. There's a photo online at the Kansas City Library showing Bretton's Restaurant at 1215 Baltimore in 1955. Nothing special. Have a look. But in a 1957 articleon tips for visitors to the city, "Breton's Bali-Hai Room across the street from the Muehlebach Hotel between 11th and 12th on Baltimore Avenue" was recommended. This would seem to be a different location (though close) from the original Bretton's. This is all I know . . so far.
