Great find Pappy! What a hoot. We tend to romanticize those Polynesian establishments of the past, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if many of them served bad food and/or drinks. Tiki was a long-running fad and I'm sure many capitalized on it without much concern for quality. I find it interesting that Kirk thought his world was "standardized and massproduced". I can only imagine how disgusted he'd feel about the blandness and sameness of much of what is out there today.
