Hey Bora Boris, Cool post! I would be up for that Tiki Crawl!!

I assumed this location was already on here although I had never looked for it before. It is one of the few Trader Vic locations where you can actually find a pretty cool exterior shot (like the first card posted by Bora above). I love the way you have this sort of modern, concrete jungle, meeting the savage and authentic South Pacific. Just enter the Hut if you dare!
Very cool exterior and great Tikis!

Here is a nice one of the interior that I have:

I find the St.Louis memorabilia to be some of the hardest Trader Vic items to find. Lot's of the usual great Trader Vic decor and plenty of eye candy!!

Here's the reverse of the card:

I also have a old matchbook from here that the original owner had written the dates of "3/17-20/68" on the inside. I guess they liked it there so much they either went back there every night or never left for three days!!

I find this following picture of the inside to be much harder to find than the one I posted above:

This card is a differnt veiw of the same room above. It gives a good idea of the very cool ceiling that they did in a few of the classic early Trader Vic's. Also a good shot of the lamps from the ceiling, table decor and some more carved poles.

I'm pretty sure BigBroTiki has a small Ad or Brochure from this location. He has it featured on page 24 and 25 of his book, Tiki Modern. That would be cool to add to this thread as well.

Mahalo, TabooDan
