Thanks, Koolau! I just did some research - fourseasrestaurant.com is their web site, and it has a snapshot of their bar, the Dynasty Room. Yelp has about 12 reviews - they range from bad to mediocre, though more than one mentions incredible orange chicken and ridiculously cheap, potent drinks (one mentions a very strong $3 rum and coke, another a Long Island Iced Tea). So it looks like I'm gonna pay 'em a visit - I adore old 50s-60s Chinese restaurant decor and I love dimly-lit rooms in restaurants, and one reviewer says it's exactly that. Another calls the decor "the Chinese restaurant that time forgot".

Here's hoping they still serve drinks in mugs, or at least remember doing so. If I'm lucky, they'll have some mugs poking around in the back. If I DO get some, as noted above, if anyone on here actually wants them I will (a) trade for Tiki Torches, (b) sell them cheap - I'm not looking to make a profit, or (c) trade for other mugs - whatever someone deems equal in value to these. I just want to add a few more torches or mugs to my collection.

Oh, and Koolau, I love that label. I do try to keep them intact on anything I collect, ranging from pipes to old lava lamps - even if it doesn't add to the value, it adds slightly to the 'all-original factor'. Anyone want to suggest a drink recipe for me to (eventually) mix up in him? As he appears to be a wise old Chinese monk, I'm sure it needs to be related in some small way - he's also holding what appears to be a coconut!
