Nice finds! Doesn't "The Apartment" use its Polynesian club location for a similar seduction/bachelor pad set up? I think there is an important facet of the appeal of these clubs in more sexually restrained times that has gotten little notice so far: The ladies liked those colorful cocktails, the cocktails were strong and got them hammered, and -Voila- bachelor pad swinging ensued!

Apparently, tropical cocktails were the "roofies" of the '50s and '60s.

Fact is (according to local sources) that the Spanish Tiki bars supposedly have survived for so long because they have been favored by generations of business men and youngsters alike for their dark nooks and booths, which allowed drunken groping sessions, discreetly overlooked by the wait staff.

That's what we used the Bahooka for when I was in high-school back in the '70s...:D
