Because they sold jewelry?

"I do not wish to create the impression that the (Aloha Room) is laden with bric-a-brac from the South Seas. What might be thought of as souvenir items are found across the hall in the Lanai Room- a combination gift shop and cocktail lounge."

Doubtful. By presenting such an example, what you aren't taking into consideration, woofmutt, (if it is even a tiki tavern at all, which hasn't been proven or disproven yet) is the size of this mystery place and the location which it is in. Having a souvenier shop across the hall in a nice spacious hotel with a restaurant and cocktail lounge is one thing; having it in some little tavern is another.
If this place is a tiki tavern and they did sell some kind of jewelry, they'd be mere trinkets and sold behind the bar, most likely, and hardly worthy of window displays.
