No, it looks nothing like the Tiki-Ti. And yes, there are plenty of bars here that serve booze without serving food.

As for it being painted or not, I would say yes, it is painted. If you look at the bottom of the mural, just above the dark tile you can see the outline/shapes of decorative tile that have been painted over.

.the question was not if it looked like tiki ti.....anyone can see it doesn't.... the question was in regards to there being any other stand alone bars from that time period in california.

..and it was never a question of it being painted or not....we are all in agreement there....the question was in regards to it being painted on a wooden facade or glass..personally i said wood because painted window glass is a liability for any business.(plus, they would have had to cut the glass around the chinese tiles at the bottom...what business would bother with that??).....suppose someone leans against it thinking it's solid or some dope tries to post a bill by stapling it to the glass.(yes people are that stupid sometimes).....i suppose some einstein here will explain that the moulding around the little windows is painted on and not actual molding, which is what it is-three dimensional moulding framing the little window...

..I'm sorry ...i'm grumpy...it's early in the a.m.....haven't had my morning coffee and i'm on the way out the door to the flea market.....
